The article focuses on the book "Accounting, Information Technology and Business Solutions," by Gerard McHugh. In evaluating this well produced text the author was reminded of the absence of specific courses in Accounting Information systems (AIS) outside of the US. Universities and the professional bodies in the English speaking world have grappled for a number of years with the question of Information Technology and its role in accounting education. There have been a number of discussion documents from the professional bodies and these have led to a considerable increase in the IT/IS content of the professional syllabi. Some institutes such as CIMA have taken a decision to include a full paper on the area of Information Management in their final examinations. Other bodies have included significant amounts of Business Information Systems at earlier stages of the syllabi. The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland has gone considerably further than most bodies and has an obligatory hands-on competency test in IT for all finalists.

Academics in Hong Kong universities are urged to increase their research output. This article investigates the measurement of publication outputs among the three faculties of business, education, humanities & social sciences in the six universities of Hong Kong. Data were collected from the 1990–95 annual reports of research and publication outputs of each university. In order to have a fair comparison of publication outputs of each academic, rank, faculty and university, a framework was developed from practical experience and from literature to investigate the problem. Results indicate that the publication outputs of academics in Hong Kong were about the same as other countries in many aspects. Pressing academics for more research publications may raise the figure in the start, but would not necessarily increase the output in the long run. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article reviews the book "Avoiding the Danger Zone--Business Illusions."

In the field of marketing and business in general, many ideas of what it means to exemplify acceptable ethical behavior inform practice. In his book Just Business, Alexander Hill (2008) describes the three elements of the Christian faith (holiness, justice, and love) and relates them to business ethics in the secular world. Is it plausible and acceptable to combine Christian morality and business ethics, or should the two entities exist and function separately? Should there be a "dual morality" or should one's Christian faith override or replace business ethics? Is the answer situationally driven? How are ethical decisions made when the law and one's personal faith are in conflict? Should the positivism approach be selected, which says that the law is always right, regardless of whether or not personal conviction opposes it? Narrowing these ethical issues down to the field of marketing, how might the practice of deceptive advertising be viewed in light of these considerations? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
