Abstract

This paper uses the Ruijter and Ten Dam model to develop an interpretation of the economics and business management curriculum. Bosnia - Herzegovina provides the particular context for the paper, and the finance and banking elements of the curriculum are highlighted. The argument is based on the role of the entrepreneur as a driving force in society. The curriculum suggested is rich and diverse, covering all the major functional specialisms in management, as well as other contextual subjects. The paper goes on to integrate teaching, staff development, resources and assessment into the entrepreneurial theme. The paper outlines the importance of the part time mode of study, and highlights the danger of allowing economics to dominate the curriculum.
