Abstract:

Navigating the emerging crisis in UK higher education, with funding cuts, decreasing numbers of academics and mimetic pressures caused by academic norms, is a challenge for UK business schools.

For this exploratory, qualitative study 21 leaders from 12 UK business schools in the Financial Times Global MBA Rankings (2010) were interviewed by email, by telephone or face-to-face.

Abstract:

<p> Institutions of higher education in the United States seek to obtain new sources of donor support as their traditional sources of funding, beyond student tuition, have come under strain. Given the decline in state and federal funding since 2008, many institutions, and specifically schools of business, have attempted to attract new funds from donors resulting in some of these schools being "named" in honor of these benefactors. Much of the literature regarding philanthropy in higher education focuses on this phenomenon. Additional literature focuses on the change that can occur within organ

This study focuses on the political perspective of the process and context of strategic leadership, in three top international Business Schools, IMD, INSEAD and London Business School. It remedies three inadequacies in the current literature. These are: first, the scarcity of empirical studies on strategic leadership with a processual perspective, despite the interest demonstrated in theoretical studies on leadership in the last decades, second, the lack of links between the leadership and strategy fields; third, scholars' call for studies on leadership from a political perspective.

Abstract:

The service sector over the last few decades has become a symbol of prosperity and growth in many economies around the world in terms of its contribution to GDP growth, employment and standard of living. Despite this, the perception among most economists that productivity of services lags behind manufacturing still persists. Several scholars have attributed this to the conceptual, empirical and practical problems of measuring productivity in services. In an attempt to address these problems, the systematic review of extant literature and existing scales and semi-structured interviews led to th

<p> With changing funding models and increased competition, academic institutions are increasingly looking for new ways to finance their missions.

Diversifying revenue streams is an important challenge for business schools in California, which has experienced significant cuts in public funding since 2000.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to improve the understanding of challenges encountered by students when conducting groupwork and more specifically cross-cultural groupwork; which in turn helps with identifying structural flaws in the way cooperative learning is organized in student groups. More specifically, this study aims at identifying the challenges and opportunities inherent to student group work in order to develop a framework allowing schools and universities to improve the way their structure this exercise. The objective is to find a way for students to experience group work almost as

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the impact that AS-level re-sits have had on a selective independent boys’ school in the West Midlands, which in the interest of anonymity is referred to throughout as ‘School X’. Significantly, and as reflected in the title for this dissertation, unlike the vast majority of secondary schools, A2-level examinations at School X are not sat by students until the final summer of the two year course; therefore, re-sits at this level are not possible. The opening chapter provides an outline of how the introduction of unlimited re-sits can be perceived as being a logical p

Abstract:

GNVQs epitomise one strand of contemporary philosophy of education. However, a question that arises is whether GNVQs, having built on the ethos of NVQs, abandon all earlier educational philosophies in favour of the competence movement endorsed in the USA. A question central to this study revolves around whether earlier, alternative philosophies of education also have something of value to offer. To answer this, traditional approaches to educational provision are identified and explored in terms of their possible 'ideal types'; these ideal types being seen to be represented by liberal, general

Abstract:

This study explored my own societal gatekeeper role as an Ofsted inspector, using a systems thinking model of creativity, within the domain of vocational business studies curricula, in further education (FE) colleges in England. My research questions sought to explore how business teachers and inspectors define, recognise, measure, reward and promote creativity skills in vocational business education. To provide a definition of creativity, I propose a framework based on its seven key aspects: process, person, place, pressures, product, persuasion and permanence. In addition to evidence-based s
