Abstract
<em>Purpose</em>
<p>To identify key factors that are contributing to vulnerability in business schools in Australian public universities and determine the degree of vulnerability exhibited by these schools.</p>
<em>Design/methodology/approach</em>
<p>Using a multi-criteria assessment (MCA) approach, a framework is developed to determine which business schools are most vulnerable to disruptions and uncertainty.</p>
<em>Findings</em>
The findings show a lack of preparedness on the part of many business schools, particularly those relying heavily on international students.</p>
<em>Practical implications</em>
<p>The implication is that business schools in Australian public universities need to diversify revenue streams and continue to seek legitimacy through external stakeholders such as employers and international accrediting bodies.</p>
<em>Originality/value</em>
<p>This study presents an empirical perspective of business schools in Australian public universities and offers valuable insights for university leaders and policymakers.</p>
