Broker Vs. Advisor, Steven D. Dolvin Jul 2013

Broker Vs. Advisor, Steven D. Dolvin

All Chapters

Over the past decade, more retail investment professionals have transitioned away from a pure broker relationship to a more advisory role. This switch is potentially good for both sides, as it reduces the incentive to churn (i.e., excessively trade) an account simply to generate commissions, while also providing a more stable revenue for the advisor.

Revising A Summer Internship Course Using Student Evaluations, Holly B. Perry, Lynda J. Sperazza

Journal of Tourism Insights

Internships play an important role in a university curriculum because they allow students to gain practical experience and explore possible career paths. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the summer internship experience from the students’ perspective to determine whether they achieved course learning outcomes. We objectively examined the course evaluations from students who completed their summer internships within a recreation and leisure studies program. Student responses (n = 29) to the 14 self-appraisal items in their course evaluation were the central focus of data analysis. Our primary research question was, “In what KSA [knowledge, skills, attitudes] areas …

An Exploratory Study Of Wellness Travel: Differences Between U.S. And Non-U.S. Travelers, Rebecca Boulay, Nancy M. Hritz, Candace Ashton

Journal of Tourism Insights

Wellness tourism has become an increasingly popular trend as many resorts and destinations now offer these activities and amenities. Given that the “wellness travel” term is relatively new for U.S. travelers, it is unknown how they may differ in their wellness and travel choices from non U.S. travelers. Convenience samples of tourists in the US and Europe were surveyed about their differences in wellness travel motivations and perceived wellness. T-tests revealed significant differences. U.S. travelers were more likely to want to participate in outdoor activities such as hiking and camping when traveling compared to non U.S. travelers. Non U.S. travelers …

The Report also serves as a source for recreation amenity comparison data for industry professionals. A review of literature identified the latest resort recreation data and a survey of resorts was implemented to supplement and enhance the industry data. …


Recommended Practices For New Corporate Learning Leaders, David Lamb Jul 2013

Recommended Practices For New Corporate Learning Leaders, David Lamb

Journal of Executive Education

For this article I have focused on leaders who are about to assume responsibility for the Learning/Talent Development function of medium to large companies. Although there are many additional areas that must be effectively addressed, the following are fundamental practices that I have found to be critical to success. When assuming the top role, it’s difficult to balance the strategic and tactical demands of the job. My advice: err on the side of strategy development. Having a well thought out plan is necessary for success. Good plans focus on “what,” “when,” and “cost/benefits.” It’s important to document what will be …


Executive Education: Can It Be Too Good?, James C. Lockhart Jul 2013

Executive Education: Can It Be Too Good?, James C. Lockhart

Journal of Executive Education

A successful business school must serve two communities: the research community on one hand; and the business community on the other. However, despite the spectacular growth of business education over the last four or five decades, there has been growing criticism of the relevance of much business school activity: The academic-practitioner divide has emerged and largely refuses to close. To bridge the gap b-schools must serve both communities concurrently. Executive education is identified as being a critical strategy in the repertoire of b-school deans through which to do so. The aim of this paper is to discuss the construct of …

University Image And Its Relationship To Student Satisfaction: Case Of The Holy Spirit University Of Kaslik, Lebanon, Nehme M. Azoury, Lindos E. Daou, Charbel M. El Khoury

Journal of Executive Education

This work focuses on the study of the university’s image with the aim of explaining the components of image and attributes of student satisfaction. Our study investigates the relationships between the different components of the university image and to what extent they may affect the students’ satisfaction. Hypotheses were drawn setting the relationships between the affective, cognitive and overall image in relation with satisfaction. The results of the empirical work carried out on a representative sample of 200 students studying at Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK) demonstrate that the cognitive component of image is an antecedent of the affective …

Advisory Councils In Executive Education: Insights From Practice, Kevin J. Rose, Théres W. Stiefer

Journal of Executive Education

Various units within higher education rely on an advisory council to help guide policy, practice, and strategy. These boards usually consist of external business contacts or subject matter experts. In this article, we present a review of the use of advisory councils in higher education, with particular attention given to business education. We then provide advice and information based on our own experience with developing and maintaining an advisory council for an executive education unit. While there is no single best way to engage an advisory board for productive academic benefit, we provide several ideas for consideration in the hopes …

Vertical Market Strategy: The Case Of An Executive Education Startup In A Medium-Sized Business School, Shawna L. Rogers, Thomas N. Duening

Journal of Executive Education

This paper provides an account of a vertical market go-to-market strategy that has been used by an executive education startup in the College of Business at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. The executive education startup is titled the “Office of Professional & Executive Development” and has been in operation for approximately 18 months. The office was launched explicitly using a vertical market strategy. That is, public training programs were designed for vertical markets only, enabling instructors to design programs with deep, industry-specific examples, cases, and lessons.


A Survey Of Team Teaching Effectiveness In Executive Graduate Business Programs, Kevin J. Wynne, James M. Parker Jul 2013

A Survey Of Team Teaching Effectiveness In Executive Graduate Business Programs, Kevin J. Wynne, James M. Parker

Journal of Executive Education

This paper contributes to the academic literature by using a survey instrument of executive students to assess the effectiveness of team teaching in a multidisciplinary Executive MBA management program and an Executive Master’s program in Finance. The cohort structure of the program and the virtual similarities between the two programs allows for a unique way of addressing this issue. The results of the survey show that the multidisciplinary EMBA program was more effective in fostering an integrated team teaching approach. The results also suggest that there is a transition process in incorporating the team teaching approach in new programs as …


Exploring Pull Factor Influences At Campgrounds By Rv Association Members, Jill Fjelstul Jul 2013

Exploring Pull Factor Influences At Campgrounds By Rv Association Members, Jill Fjelstul

Rosen Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Recreational vehicles (RVs) are owned and/or rented by travelers of diverse ages, traveling parties, and agendas. RVs, in most cases, will be parked at a campground during use, lending to the question of what factors influence campground selection. The current study explored pull factors specific to RV campground attributes by members of a RV association, identified the general demographics of the respective RV association, and investigated campground travel decisions by members of the RV association. Findings from the current study can assist campground owners/operators in developing effective marketing strategies for attracting RV travelers with customized products, onsite amenities, and/or services. …
