Abstract

In recent decades, business schools have become important components of higher education throughout the world. Yet, surprisingly, they have received little serious attention. This book provides a sober and evidence-based assessment, charting the history and character of business schools in the light of current debates about the role of universities and the evolution of advanced economies. Previous commentators have viewed business schools as falling between two stools: lacking in academic rigour yet simultaneously derided by the corporate world as broadly irrelevant. However, over-concern with criticism risks ignoring the benefits of reform. What business schools need is reconfiguration based on new relationships with academia and business. Such change would deliver institutions that are truly fit for purpose, allowing them to become key players in the 21st century's emergent knowledge societies. This timely critique should be read by academics and policy-makers concerned with the present state and future development of business education.

Abstract

The Executive MBA is designed for working professionals who wish to receive a fully accredited MBA within two-years while maintaining full time employment. The book Executive MBA: An Insider's Guide for Working Professionals in Pursuit of Graduate Business Education is written for career minded working professionals-employees and employers-who have chosen to gain several years of work experience before returning to the classroom and value professional development. The Ideal EMBA candidate is between the ages of 28 and 55 and feels it is time to augment work with a highly practical and hands-on graduate business education. Students' network with the best and the brightest and course work may include international consulting projects. The Executive MBA teaching method merges business school with professional work experience. The Insider's Guide goes inside the classroom and explains why each year more than 5,000 graduates choose the Executive MBA over the traditional full-time and part-time MBA. Join an ambitious classroom of managers, vice presidents, executives, doctors, and lawyers from corporate and non profit, many who are parents, including working others. Understand why a business education at the age of 33 is more suitable than at age 23. Learn the different types of MBA sponsorship and how to secure funding from your employer. Read how a program can be customized to help you reach your professional goals and get you on fast-track to executive status. Chapters include detailed reviews of the unique executive educational delivery method, important program facts, tips on balancing work with school, with special sections for doctors, lawyers, and women considering a graduate business degree. The book provides guidance on the business school application process, helpful questions during the interview, sample essays and helpful tips for financial sponsorship. Take the EMBA self-assessment to determine if the Executive MBA is right for you. Read first-hand accounts from EMBA graduates, faculty, and administrators representing top MBA programs. The book is also ideal employers and career professionals who want to understand, value, and institutionalize a corporate sponsorship program. The book describes various forms of corporate sponsorship and teaches best practices on using the EMBA as a tool for professional development and to identify, recruit, and retain top employees. The book offers guidelines on setting up a corporate sponsorship program based on the best practices of many top companies. Equally important, the book details an entirely new form of corporate sponsorship that helps employers protect the corporate sponsorship investment while still supporting its employees. Read from employers, hiring managers, and human resource officers of non profits to major corporations on why they sponsor their employees and hire graduates of the Executive MBA. The book also includes a comprehensive EMBA directory that profiles over 180 US and International schools. Graduate business school is a serious investment for both employees and employers. Get all the facts, know all your options and use An Insider's Guide to help make the right decision for your professional career and learn its competitive advantage to the company.

Abstract

This is the 2009 volume in the Advances in Business Education and Training Book Series. The Series aims to foster advancement in the field and to serve as an international forum for scholarly and state-of-the-art research and development. This volume offers challenging thoughts on constructing meaningful learning both within the academy and in collaboration with outside stakeholders. It comprises two major sections: research into business education and best practice in business education. The research contributions explore the incorporation of theoretical frameworks and the exploitation of clicker technology in classroom practice, the integration of reflective writing into work placements to support learning, the exposure of ideas about morally leading change and its impact on leadership aspirations, large group business learning, self-theories, goal orientations and achievement motivations, and Chinese students’ perceptions of intercultural competence in tutors. Other research contributions look beyond the business school to explore entrepreneurs’ perceptions of their existing business model. The best practice contributions discuss master thesis supervision, MBA study tours designed to increase global exposure, the use of authentic learning materials in career writing courses, and cross cultural innovations. .
