Practical relevance of it in management education

This paper suggests two interpretations of the practical relevance of IT education at the university level especially in management education, as the congruence between the skill requirements of IT experts and the skills provided by the management education, and as the congruence between practitioners' education expectations concerning the skills to be taught and the skills provided by the education. The paper analyzes these two interpretations empirically based on an exploratory as well as questionnaire study by observing the curriculum imparted by various universities and taking into consideration variables such as biographical, demographical, job category and year of graduation are taken into consideration.
