Ad Hoc Teams: Do Students Actually Learn From Them?, Chi Lim, Terry Coalter
Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)
Today’s organizations expect new college graduates to be well equipped to excel in team settings. Although instructors have good intentions, more often than not, students are ill-prepared to lean from their team experience. Little attention has been given to the ad hoc method of population team projects in business courses without properly training students to function in teams. The current study utilized team requirements in business classes to understand what students can gain from team projects when they undertake team projects without training.

What constitutes an effective university curriculum in human resources management? In an effort to answer this question, the authors reviewed the research literature on human resources curricula, comparing, contrasting and synthesizing the recommendations that have been offered in recent studies. Although a number of scholars have addressed this issue from a variety of perspectives and offer many noteworthy points for consideration, the review of the research literature indicates that a definitive answer to the question of curriculum content has not yet been found. The authors summarize the recent research, categorizing studies in terms of type pf research (empirical versus conceptual), …

The Prospect Of Personalized Education Guided By Student Genetic Information, David Parmenter
Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)
Genetics-related research is rapidly developing increased understanding of the genes that underlie most human as well as the molecular processes in which these genes take part. It is reasonable for educators to assume that many learning-related traits will he found to have a genetic basis and that genetic testing will someday allow educators to access this learning-related information for each student. Knowledge of learning preferences would enable advisors, instructors and the students themselves to more closely match student needs with the appropriate educational environments and teaching methods. At the extreme, this information could make possible truly personalized education.

Student Perceptions Of Effective Visual Aid Usage, Reginald Bell, Rahim Quazi
Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)
This study investigates whether significant differences exist across college undergraduates’ grade levels, majors, gender, age levels, and income levels regarding their perceptions of visual aid usage in effective perceptions. These differences were measured by subjecting 226 college undergraduates at a medium sized state university to a Visual Aid Usage Presentation Survey (VAUPS). Principal component factor analysis was performed on collected data, which revealed significant differences in students' perceptions across declared majors and college grade levels on factors. These results suggest that business professors should present visual information according to differing perceptions of effectiveness across majors and grade levels.

Customer relationship management can be a costly solution to implement and many of these initiatives fail to deliver their intended results. Several reasons may exist that explain why such programs fail, and this study attempts to explain CRM in terms of its use as a company strategy that when combined with the market orientation of a firm, can lead to improved company performance. By using contingency theory to develop that a "match" between culture and strategy allows a firm to better perform, an attempt will be made to establish a relationship between CRM strategy implementation and market orientation. A methodology …
