Evidence On The Validity Of Management Education, Fred Luthans, James W. Walker, Richard M. Hodgetts

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

The authors feel that more attention should be given to the empirical validation of management education. In order to determine what effect a college degree and the academic major have on promotability, 3,202 marketing personnel of a major petroleum corporation were analyzed.

What effect does a college education have on executive success? Does the major area of study make any difference?

Department of Management: Faculty Publications
