I think that you (rather they) are confusing management with business
The problem is that an archaeologist has to be an independent person and cannot fit with in a company structure. We work a subjective (for want of a better term) recording system. I would suggest that all decisions are made from a position of power (for want of a better term) or ownership (for want of a better term). The RAO is anti archaeologists. It puts responsibility in A management system by taking it away from archaeologists. It is a collective which can only produce one type of product and has to base it on a ridged standard, in the British examples it is civil servant proformas so for example the course being put forward will not have anything in it that Alan Sugar would recognise as anything to do with Business (like profit) but will be ace if you want to work at second level government. Look up Waloff Associates who are hosting with ifa at http://www.lfig.org/study-groups/1_regeneration.htm
And find Nicholas Waloff
Nothing wrong with those credentials if that is where you think archaeology is
I just found my first (independently commercial) Roman kiln site. When I suggested that it should be named after me cause it would be good publicity- you should have seen the looks on the specialists faces. Maybe this Waloff has got something after all (other than your money)
