Transport companies are finding themselves compelled to attach growing importance to the education and further education of their staff in the face of transport's increasing complexity, of its increased market‐economic thinking where competition takes the place of collective economic thinking and of financial constraints.

    The necessity for increased education and further education of the managerial staff of the transport companies has also led to a two‐fold division of this task in Switzerland: on the one side the academic education in universities, on the other the further education of the management staff by the transport companies.

    The extent of education and research done on “transport” varies in Swiss universities. Special courses are given at the St. Gall Graduate School of Economics, Business and Public Administration in transport economics and at the Technical Universities of Zürich and Lausanne in transport engineering.

    Special further education in transport management is given by Swissair and Swiss Federal Railways.
