Purpose: This study aims to mitigate the inherent challenges associated with implementing project-based learning (PjBL) by integrating it with the service engineering methodology (SEEM). The study demonstrates that combining PjBL with a methodological approach provides a step-by-step procedure that facilitates the practical application of PjBL and…

This study examines the effectiveness of problem-based learning with game theory versus thesis format in graduate project management degrees as the capstone course. The project management body of knowledge based on ISO was established as the rules of play with modifications to fit into the classroom context. We supplied a work breakdown structure…

After a spate of business ethics crises over the past two decades, management educators were put on notice: considerably more was needed to improve the ethical grounding of our graduating students. Taking stock of our progress, we contend that management education remains well short of achieving this charge and cannot be content with the state of…

Ethical climate in organisations has been studied widely and its influence on ethical behaviour has been documented. However, little is known about the ethical climate at university context and about its antecedents. Universities are social change institutions and their ethical climate could influence the ethical behaviour of future economic,…

Our objective was to design an introductory business course to shape the mind-sets and skill sets of the next generation of socially conscious practitioners--to help students develop a sense of self-efficacy built on the confidence that they can make a positive impact on the world using entrepreneurial thinking and action. Essentially, the focus…

Colleges and universities have a unique organizational culture that influences the decision-making processes used by leaders of higher education. This paper presents findings of a study that attempted to identify the theoretical frameworks that administrators of higher education use to guide their decision-making processes. The following…

Reports on a research project that was designed to assess the impact of faculty collective bargaining on collegiate management. Data were based on a survey of college and university presidents in institutions recently experiencing a representation election for faculty unionization. (Author/WD)

Recent trends indicate the increasing concern regarding the broad issue of accountability at institutions of higher education. Because of this, colleges and universities are being forced more and more to base their decisions on hard fact instead of intuition. The institutional research function is instrumental in assisting in this kind of data…

This document discusses several of the most significant analytic meanings to be found in enrollment data, with the expectation that some of the already developed analytic tools, when properly tuned, can be applied to enrollment and similar data. The Induced Course Load Matrix (ICLM) is a theoretical concept developed from situations in business…

In order to keep abreast of the demands of the modern age, small colleges are turning to new forms of decisionmaking through the use of management information systems. Such systems are used for not only administrative purposes, but for research and instructional purposes as well. Six major options are presently available to small colleges…

Effective learning in management education can be enhanced by reproducing the real-world need to solve problems under pressure of time, inadequate information, and group interaction. An interactive classroom communication system involving problems in decision making and continuous improvement is one method for bridging theory and practice. (SK)

Described is a practice-oriented master's program (Executive Master of Science in Engineering) based on the premise that the successful management of modern technology requires a broadening of executive knowledge, skills, and perspectives. A description of the curriculum and program status are included. (KR)

Describes a computer-based simulation model that can be used for the training of higher education administrators. Simulation games as instructional and training models are discussed; weighted alternatives used in the model are explained; validation is discussed; and the architecture of the computer simulation is described.
