The Fundamental imbalances in market have led to a continuous cycle of rapidly enhancing salaries especially among new faculty that has removed many schools from the market for qualified talent at doctoral level. Data on the supply of doctoral faculty are vital to be analyzed.

 

In the United States,Issues of requirements of qualified Faculty in Business schools Articles shortages of qualified doctoral talented faculty and the resultant salary enhancement are especially challenging for schools competing for faculty who are members of groups that are under-represented. Evidence suggests that the supply of qualified applicants for leadership positions such as deans/directors and positions in key departments such as career services, development, and information technology are similarly inadequate.

 

Salary increases that are resulted from these scarcities far exceed resource enhancements from any source, whether tuition, state funding, endowment levels, or resource reallocation. Dealing with salary enhances may even be more challenging for non-U.S. schools, which have historically  had relatively lower salaries and fewer funding sources such as endowments to draw on than U.S. schools.

 

Recently, contracting economies have further increased the financial problems that business schools are facing. Faced with constricting support from traditional university and public sources, many business schools of both public and private types are attempting to address their growing financial deficiencies by arguing for greater flexibility from university central administrations. With such flexibility, business schools are exploiting entrepreneurial opportunities to generate new revenue streams and fund escalating costs of operation.

 

Technological advances have also opened the doors for new and rich sources of differentiation and product lines among the business schools and thus they have created the potential for further shaking and fragmentation of education providers. Thus technological enhancements and scaling of new heights in technology ahs caused partitions and levelization of business schools that caused differentiation among the business schools depending upon the type of facilities they provide to the students.
