Exploring Consumer Behavior Using Student Constructed Photographic Essays And Film Projects, Seth Ellis

Millennials can be characterized by a preference for classroom discussion rather than lecture, working in small collaborative groups, and a desire for structure and steady feedback. This paper describes an undergraduate course, Visual Methods for Exploring Consumer Behavior, where students examine topics in consumer behavior by constructing photographic essays and films as primary research vehicles.

Engaging Students Through A Virtual Live Case, John M. Zych

In marketing education, live cases often are used to help students make a clear connection between course content and its application to real-world business problems.

The approach combines components of a live case with historical analysis to have students perform an in-depth market strategy analysis of …

Achievement Goal Theory and Self-Determination Theory are drawn upon to advance hypotheses that …

Using Technology To Teach Pricing Concepts, Kathy Winsted, Judy Graham

Building The First Gaming Master’S Program: An Industry Perspective, Toni Repetti, Soyeon Jung

Facilitating Executive Learning: Development And Application Of A Conceptual Model, Anthony J. Mento, Raymond M. Jones

Journal of Executive Education

We developed our required ten-week Executive MBA Leading Organizational Change course to specifically maximize meaningful learning according to the stipulations of Ausubel’s (1968) cognitive assimilation theory. The centerpiece of our work is the implementation of an eight-step explicit conceptually transparent learning model whose components are internally consistent and require the assimilation of new concepts and propositions into existing conceptual frameworks held by the learner. Concept maps (Novak, 1998), which are presented, help explicate our model, and generalizations to other learning milieus are addressed. While we address specific strengths and weaknesses with our approach, we conclude that we have met Ausubel’s …

Adapting Stock-Trak® In Executive M.B.A. Investment Education, Weiyu Guo, Curt Bayer, Dave Blair

Journal of Executive Education

STOCK-TRAK®’s on-line stock market game, adapted to the Executive M.B.A. format, provides a valuable, motivational learning tool for the program’s more mature and experienced students. At the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Executive MBA student reaction to STOCK-TRAK® has been overwhelmingly positive each of the three years it has been employed. Given Executive M.B.A. programs’ focus on applicative knowledge, STOCK-TRAK® provides a relevant, hands-on investment experience that promotes learning, retention and application. Educational values derived from use of STOCK-TRAK® can be better assured by understanding the limitations of the game, particularly when employed in an Executive M.B.A. program delivery format.

Toward A Competency Model For Directors Of Management And Executive Development, Jan Varner, Barry Bales, William Lindsey

Journal of Executive Education

In addition to academic programs, many universities across the country offer continuing professional development courses and programs through centers focused on management and executive development. Although these centers fall under the broad umbrella of continuing education, the location of these centers in schools of business or public affairs and their program emphasis on management development cause these centers to differ from traditional divisions of continuing education. The general dividing line between management/executive development and continuing education lies in audience focus and reporting hierarchy within the institution.

Strategic Planning For University-Based Executive Education Programs: Success Factors And Design Alternatives, Newton Margulies, Jack R. Gregg

Journal of Executive Education

There appears to be a growing interest among B-schools in providing continuing management education. The trend toward meeting demands of changing business and learning environments – and responding to the obsolescence of various management disciplines -- has encouraged growth in non-degree, professional development programs. Some of these programs are generic in nature, while others are more specialized, depending on the perceived strengths and interests of the schools and the areas faculty choose to emphasize.

Interdisciplinary Learning In An Emba: Making It Happen, Stephen A. Stumpf, Walter G. Tymon

Journal of Executive Education

The Executive MBA (EMBA) market, once a niche market served by the most elite schools, has become highly competitive. This competition is being driven by an increase in the number of B-schools offering an EMBA, corporations reducing their level of support for employees interested in an EMBA, and changes in the work histories and occupations of EMBA applicants. With the increased competition, EMBA programs have had to actively market and sell their programs to corporations and prospective students. Most B-schools have chosen one of three approaches: [1] promote the B-School brand while offering essentially the same curriculum to MBAs and …

Analyzing E.M.B.A. Student Feedback, Ernest A. Capozzoli, David Gundersen

Journal of Executive Education

The results of an executive Masters of Business Administration (MBA) program assessment are analyzed and interpreted against the backdrop of increasing competition between universities to attract and retain qualified students. The public education environment is currently in a turbulent state. This turbulence is in part caused by such factors as: reductions in public funding for higher education due to constrained state budgets, student expectations, requirements imposed by accrediting bodies, and other outside constituencies requesting more accountability. The pressure to hold education institutions accountable is increasing at a rapid rate. To provide a measure of accountability and quantify program quality, education …

Outcomes-Based Courses: Using Pre And Post Course Measurements To Examine And Enhance Course Success, Jocelyn Lockyer, Richard Ward, Herta Fidler, John Toews, Margaret Churcher

Journal of Executive Education

Questionnaire-based pre/post course testing can be used to extend the cognitive processes provided in short (2- to 6-hour) courses. When participants participate in pre-and post-course assessments and implement the changes they commit to at the end of a course, course designers can have an impact on knowledge and workplace practices. A carefully designed pre-course assessment offered prior to an educational activity can help professionals draw upon their workplace experiences prior to a course and during that course.
