• The Impact of Market Orientation Toward Students and Student/Faculty Ratios On Performance Excellence in the Case of Aacsb - International Member Schools

This manuscript reports the results of a national survey examining levels of market orientation toward students and student/faculty ratios exhibited in AACSB member schools. We reword Narver and Slater's (1990) "market orientation" scale and Jaworski and Kohli's (1993) "overall performance" scale for use within the higher education context. We group respondents based on overall performance and report mean level of market orientation and mean student/faculty ratio for each of four levels of performance. Additionally, we employ univariate analysis of variance, then t-tests to identify significant differences between the four performance groups for each of the market orientation components and student/faculty ratio. We outline the objectives of the study in terms of research questions, com...

• National Iq Means Transformed From Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) Scores, and Their Underlying Gene Frequencies*

Any general statement as to whether the secular trend of a society is eugenic or dysgenic depends upon a reliable calibration of the measurement of general intelligence. Richard Lynn set the mean IQ of the United Kingdom at 100 with a standard deviation of 15, and he calculated the mean IQs of other countries in relation to this "Greenwich IQ". But because the UK test scores are declining, the present paper recalibrates the mean IQ 100 to the average of seven countries having a historical mean IQ of 100. By comparing Lynn-Vanhanen-IQ with PISA scores and educational attainment of native and foreign born populations transformed into IQ, we confirmed brain gain and brain drain in a number of nations during recent decades. Furthermore, the growth of gross domestic product per capita can be...
