SECTION 4:
FOCUS ON ALL THREE GROUPS FOR 2003 ONLY
INTRODUCTION
In this section, the focus is on the information concerning all three groups: business leaders, faculty and students. Table 4A presents a summary version of the information for each of the 47 attitudinal questions. For each question for each group, the percent that agreed with each statement is given. In addition, the average response (low is positive) and the standard deviation for each question are provided. The number of responses completes the information for each group for each question. Questions 30 to 38 are given at the end of the table since their answers should have reflected to what extent instead of a SA to SD perspective. See Table 4B for a clearer understanding of these questions.
Table 4B gives the percentage of respondents who either Strongly Agreed, Agree, gave No Opinion, Disagreed or Strongly Disagreed for each question for each group. The discussion will focus on Table 4A. One can examine the differences in the actual responses in Table 4B depending upon his or her interest in the particular question and/or group.
ANALYSIS
Table 4A shows the percent of the three responding groups agreeing with each statement. Of the 47 questions on the 2003 questionnaire, 27 answers were positive from all of the respondents. Nine responses were negative from all of the respondents. The respondents answers were mixed on the other 11 questions. Of the 11 questions with mixed responses, faculty and students agreed 6 times, faculty and business people agreed 3 times, and business people and students agreed twice. Four out of the six times that faculty and students agreed their answers were positive. All three times that faculty agreed with business people their answers were negative. Business people and students agreed once positively and once negatively. Overall, business people gave positive answers 66 percent of the time; faculty gave positive answers 68 percent of the time; and students gave positive answers 72 percent of the time.
