Abstract: An introductory course in agribusiness management is the third most required course in agricultural economics programs. It is also one of the most widely taught after agricultural marketing and agricultural finance. Advanced agribusiness management is often a course in strategy and was not being taught in agricultural economics programs in 1985. Many of the instructors for this class have been hired in recent years. It is no surprise why case research has become more popular in recent years given its importance for use in teaching and integrating concepts in strategy courses. The number of food business courses remains small but is concentrated in departments that have a history of doctoral research in this subject. Many of these programs teach agribusiness marketing and retail or wholesale marketing.
