Abstract:
In my business writing classes, I usually use imaginary situations for the writing assignments. When a real-life situation arose, I was glad to challenge my students with preparing a questionnaire to be used by the ESL program. Furthermore, the students used this questionnaire as an important part of their report assignment. The steps simulated the procedure followed in many business situations and hence helped students develop knowledge of business procedures and related language skills. The students worked through all the steps, experienced problems, solved the problems, and wrote a real business report in their writing course.

Abstract:
In many business communication courses students must write a business report. This study compared what business communication instructors believe their stu dents learn and what writing skills they improve by completing the assignment with what students believe they learn and what writing skills they believe are improved. Data were gathered from members of the Association for Business Communica tion and from students who have completed a business report. Instructors see greater improvement in student writing skills than do students. To close this gap, faculty should offer more explicit explanations of the assignment and of the con cepts to be learned and the skills to be improved. They should also explain the cri teria for evaluation and help students assess their writing skills and set personal goals for improvement. Questionnaires are provided so instructors can compare their own perceptions with those of their students as well as with the instructors and students from this study.

Abstract:
Financial management is very important in cooperative business activities, considering that financial reports are a form of accountability to the management stakeholders especially to members as owners. The financial report must at a minimum describe the condition of assets, liabilities, and capital stated in the balance sheet report and transaction activities with members and non-members as well as costs incurred which are stated in the business results calculation report (PHU). Cooperative financial reports must be well understood by cooperative administrators so that they can account in writing for all cooperative business activities carried out accurately. Considering the very importance of financial reports, it is necessary to provide training in preparing financial reports on an ongoing basis. The training was held by the Purwakarta Regency Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises Service.

Abstract:
La competencia comunicativa exigida en el mundo empresarial actual y el papel que el inglés juega como lengua de comunicación internacional constituyen la base de la proliferación investigadora en los géneros del inglés académico y profesional (IPA), y en especial del inglés de los negocios (IN). Este desarrollo también tiene su efecto en la producción de materiales docentes, y en menor medida en lo referente a la investigación aplicada al aula del IN. Nuestra aportación a dicho campo se fundamenta en el estudio de un género discursivo escrito particular del mundo de los negocios: el informe empresarial. Pretendemos explicar su concepción como género, así como su relevancia y aportaciones en el aula del inglés de especialidad. Demostraremos cómo este género incluye múltiples características del discurso escrito del IN y observaremos a través del estudio empírico que su implementación en el aula ayuda a desarrollar de forma pertinente ciertos elementos (macro)estructurales y discursivos.

The present study investigates the application of Genre Theory to the teaching of business report writing to university students. Five instructors, three raters and five groups of learners attending the fourth semester of a six-stage Business English course participated in this study. Three intact classes were randomly selected for the experimental group (EG) and two for the control group (CG). Each group was administered a pre-test requesting learners to write a business assessment report. The EG then received a four-week instruction period following the principles of a genre-based approach. The CG underwent no treatment. After the period of instruction, a post-test requesting the same task as the pre-test was administered to both groups. Three independent raters scored the reports using a five-band scale adapted for this study. The quantitative data collected from the tests were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Rank Sums and the Cohen's Simple Unweighted Coefficient statistical tests. Scripts were also analyzed for code associations using the AQUAD.5 (Analysis of Qualitative Data) software. The information gathered was triangulated with the data provided by questionnaires administered to students and interviews held with instructors. Results support the hypothesis that genre-based instruction enhances the written production of Business English learners with an intermediate English proficiency.

Abstract:
Writing proficiency in the English language is one of the critical workplace competencies required in the police workplace. The aim of this study was to investigate and determine the perceptions and experiences of South African police constables’ workplace English writing needs in selected police clusters in the Gauteng province, South Africa and recommend suitable strategies to address those needs. Therefore this thesis reports on workplace English writing needs from a professional perspective to determine how they impact on the workplace English writing competencies of police constables and also as a basis for the development of a language-integrated learning curriculum in SAPS police training academies. Data was collected through a questionnaire and interviews with selected sample of the respondents. This data was collected on: their perceptions of their workplace English writing competencies, the areas within English writing which they consider to be a challenge, their perceptions about the extent to which the SAPS training programme addresses police officers’ workplace English writing needs and their suggestions regarding the type of SAPS training programme which can enhance their workplace English writing competencies. This study was prompted by concerns from various research studies and media which reported that police officers have inadequate English writing competencies. Among other things, the study found that the absence of an English writing course in the Basic Police Development Learning Programme contributes significantly to the inadequate workplace English writing competency of police constables in South Africa. The lack of awareness of the importance of other writing sub-skills such as punctuation, word classification and correct capitalisation, contributes to police constables incompetence. This research underscores the importance of police constables’ workplace English writing research on a large scale. Such research can be used for improved pedagogy in police training academies in South Africa. Finally, the findings from this study can also be used as a basis for the development of language-integrated learning curricula in the South African police training academies and also to foster awareness about different factors impacting on the workplace English writing competencies of police constables in South Africa.

Abstract:
Statistical instruction is, and has always been, an important component of both graduate and undergraduate business schools in the United States. Most of these schools require at least one course in applied statistics. In the middle of the 1980s a small group of faculty members felt that there was a need to examine the content and delivery of such courses (and the use of statistics) at their schools. These concerned faculty members organized a conference at the University of Chicago in 1986 to discuss these issues. Based upon the success of the first conference, there now have been seven additional annual "Making Statistics More Effective in Schools of Business" (MSMESB) conferences. The last conference was held at the University of Minnesota. From the first conference that included workshops on industry perspectives on the curriculum; the basic statistics course; quality control, quality and productivity improvement, and accounting, finance, marketing, production, and other areas in business schools, there has always been an educational track at these conferences. The 1993 teaching and curriculum track had workshops on learning styles, improving students' writing and oral presentation skills, cooperative learning, and field projects. In this report the author, who is a member of the conference's planning committee, describes and summarizes all of the educational tracks of these eight conferences. In addition, he discusses the impact of these conferences on statistical education at business schools. He mentions the numerous benefits from attending such conferences for any group of statisticians. Finally, he reports on the plans for the 1994 conference to be hosted by Rutgers University.

Abstract:
Industry focused, full semester Courses A “Industry and Information Systems” and B “Overview of the Market and Introduction to Marketing” are lectured by the lead author at Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Technology (TMIT). In these courses, overview of the global and Japanese economies and trends of each industry sector are introduced by the lecturer. Students are assigned to write a report on a specific industry sector, a specific market and other related topics of his or her interest, and opportunities for presentation and discussion on their draft reports with their classmates and the lecturer are given toward the end of the semester. Apart from these courses, a full semester Course C “Evolution of Industry, Business and Engineering Practice in the Global Economy,” utilizing collaborative learning approach, was proposed by the lead author in 1998, and was partially taught at American and Japanese universities, utilizing the Proceedings of the ASME Engineering & Technology Management Group Symposia at IMECE 2000–2002.1)–3) The surveys were conducted concerning the student’s interest of industry sectors, lecture topics, and international topics both at the beginning and at the end of the semester. In addition, surveys to sense students’ new discovery from lectures for all course modules and those to sense useful knowledge in their career planning and in general were conducted at the end of all classes. The results of surveys show that students found the discussion opportunities valuable to gain broader perspectives and insights into their own subject of study when writing their reports, by learning what their classmates are studying and from classmates’ comments. This paper also discusses what motivates students in learning, what influences students’ general, specific, and career interests, and how students’ interests may change from the beginning to the end of the semester for which these courses are given.

Abstract:
Choreography of business processes can track messages between different services. At the time of writing, there are no guidelines to draw a UML Class Diagram from the Business Process Choreography. This paper reports an experiment using a set of guidelines. Objective: Evaluate the subjects’ performance and perceptions when applying the BPc2Class-guidelines and BPc2Class-discovery process. Method: To measure the performance and user perception of both ways of mapping the processes, a comparative experiment was conducted with 38 subjects. The subjects, being master students, solved a process case in the first session and a guidelines case in the second session. A survey was filled in by the subjects to measure the user perception variables. Results: The results indicated that the guidelines showed significantly better results in five out of the six measured variables. Conclusion: Based on the findings and limitations of this research the use of guidelines looks promising, but future research is necessary to further generalize the conclusion.

Abstract:
In today’s changing world the skills and habilities required for getting a job are rapidly changing. New trends such as globalization, data science, artificial intelligence and the never ending expansion of information and technology communications are changing the demands of the labour market. Accordingly, new skills are needed in order to succeed and get a job. As noted by the OECD, educators’ challenge lies in helping students develop their unique capacity to create, innovate and add value, skills that distinguish humans from machines. With this aim in mind, this study reports the results of a challenge-based activity (based on project-based learning) targeted to undergraduate students in Business Administration. The results reveal a positive impact of the methodologies on students’ learning process, their satisfaction and a positive improvement on a series of skills, namely teamwork, writting and oral skills, digital skills, capacity to identify and solve problems, capacity to work autonomously, analytical capacity and capacity to think critically

Abstract:
The undergraduate engineering curriculum at our institution is replete with both problem-based and project-based learning components. This paper focuses on the third and most complex methodology needed to prepare students for a successful career in engineering: inquiry-based learning (IBL). With IBL, students learn with the aid of mentoring how to develop and answer a research question. However, IBL requires a significant time-investment, both in and outside the classroom. This is one of the teaching challenges within lecture-based thermo-fluids courses, where the coverage of required material does not allow much time for both IBL and development of field-specific simulation skills. Additional challenges include the reliance on mathematical tools that often hamper student understanding of the underlying phenomena and difficulty in providing immersive and exciting visuals that support in-depth learning. An IBL component was incorporated into a simulation-based design in two successive junior year courses: fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Both courses were modified to contain scaffolded and contextualized simulations with application building that develop: (a) technical competency by developing modeling skills, (b) deeper understanding of thermofluids by solving realistic technological problems, and (c) writing skills by producing technical reports for each simulation. Companies are increasingly using simulation applications to extend the benefits of product and process models beyond engineering to other internal business functions such as manufacturing, product development, and sales technical support. Applications involve creating a simplified interface that still contains the full efficacy of the underlying model without having to expose the end user to its complexity. An ‘Application’ building component adds a new skillset that further strengthens our program graduates. Consequently, supported by mentoring, students now integrate prior skills into an independent research initiative. They propose, plan and execute a design that is of their interest, relevant to the course topics, and suitable in rigor. In parallel with skillset and technical knowledge building, strategies and resources are introduced to engage students in a research topic of their choosing. This process includes preparing a statement of work, reviewing relevant literature, completing a technical study, and documenting the results. The results to date are presented along with some examples of student projects.
