PurposeThe introduction of technology in education has been a strategic objective at both the governmental and educational institutional levels long before Covid-19. However, the acceleration to e-learning caused by the pandemic disrupted the traditional classroom environment overnight forcing the entire sector at all levels, school, undergraduate and postgraduate, to shift to online learning. Regardless of readiness, the action was taken, and online instruction was implemented, improved, adjusted and enhanced during the experience. After 18 months comprising three semesters of online education amongst MBA and DBA students, the researchers decided to survey to investigate and assess the quality of the experience. The study aims to investigate the students’ perception of this unique opportunity to provide an assessment of online education in higher education, achievement or failure, and based on the results, provide a roadmap for improvement. The study also addresses the uniqueness of the Egyptian higher education environment and the particularity of its student’s context.Design/methodology/approachThis study used a quantitative descriptive survey method to find out how students felt about their online education by giving them a questionnaire and using automated numerical computation to generate data. The total number of the completed survey was 853. However, to include only those responses that were completed attentively, a speed factor was calculated for each respondent. Cases with speed factors higher than three were excluded from the sample, leading to 666 accepted responses. Data collected were analysed using correlation, regression and path analysis.FindingsFavourable satisfaction levels towards online education, and favourable perceptions towards university support, instructor–student communication and course design were found. Less favourable perceptions were found towards peer collaborations and student initiative.Research limitations/implicationsWhile the study proves reliability through the number of candidates participating in the survey, the rigorous measures of eliminations in the sample, the validity value of the questionnaire and the literature recommendation of the model are used here; yet it is important to point out that: further elements in the e-learning can and need to be studied, such as cultural implications, generational differences, government support reality from policies to infrastructure and management philosophy readiness in developing countries amongst other factors.Practical implicationsResources and skills are amongst the factors that were found to affect students’ satisfaction with online education, directly and positively. Student initiative was found to have a moderating role in how student, instructor and institution determinants affect students’ satisfaction with online education.Originality/valueThe uniqueness of this paper is that it seeks to assess the agility of the Egyptian education system during COVID-19 in higher education. It provides evidence to the current status as no study assesses the student perception.
Targeting to evaluate the analytical rigour of empirical research in management education, this study's goal is to find out how students felt about the sudden shift to online education. As well as to provide an assessment of online education performance in higher education from the students’ perception was it a success or a failure, or a path for change based on the findings? The study also considers the peculiarities of the Egyptian higher education system as well as the students’ environment, capabilities and limitations. An online questionnaire was used to survey 625 MBA and 41 DBA students. Results show that students’ satisfaction with online education is influenced by several factors, including their resources and talents. Student initiative was discovered to play a moderating role in the effects of student, instructor, and institution factors on students' satisfaction with online education. This research is being carried out during the COVID-19 outbreak to see how online instruction affects student achievement.
This study focuses on how to grasp interdisciplinary field relations to interpret how negotiation can be applied using technology in a country to accelerate economic activities. To assess the impact of using information technology via negotiation precisely using reliable measures on the macro level is difficult. Still, negotiation is a practice that is done almost daily as it become mainstream in business communication. This reality involves that while using technology we use e-negotiation to maximize benefit. Many reasons can justify the choice of e-negotiation it is simply in all business transitions, it happens through professional, formal, or informal communications, inter and/or intra organization relies solely on negotiation in every decision made. Currently, after COVID19 using virtual technology is accelerated and organizations are on it to accelerate their economic activities. This paper investigates the impact of using virtual technology (VT) on the country's economic growth using the Egyptian economy data. An indirect, unorthodox study correlating overall economic health during COVID19 with management processing executed online, and using the e-negotiation. To conclude this paper attempts to read the viability of the VT usability in business in Egypt by reading for overall country economic performance. This paper focuses on studying the acceleration of the integration of the digital economy during and moving on from 2/12/2021 date Accepted Doaa M.Salman -Cherine Soliman Negotiation -An Assesesment for E Scientific Journal for Economic& Commerce 116COVID19 testing in an indirect correlation whether e-negotiation succeeded in Egypt in supporting business growth or has hindered the process when performed online? The paper deploys a co-integration test of the series using the ARDL boundary test approach. Results showed that the series move together in the long run. Findings show that digital increases economic growth and no evidence that e-negotiation creates a blocking factor in the face of economic growth. The proposed econometric model offers great insights into just how crucial digitalization is to Egypt's economic and social future.
The purpose of this review paper is to provide insights in business negotiation research today. This study attempts to identify the most recent research topics and trends. This review is based on the earlier work by Henrik Agndal (2007) which carried out a business negotiation literature review for the period from 1996 to 2005. For the purpose of this project an additional 70 peer reviewed articles covering the period from 2005 to 2020 were reviewed. The literature review exercise has resulted in a confirmation of the Henrik Agndal ( 2007) model. The dominant research topics continue to exist. However there is a shift of interest represented by the size the academic production justified by business environment needs. Leading to an important research production in: technology and negotiation; culture and negotiation and individual variables and negotiation. Results and recommendations reflects on the important and trending business negotiation research topics.
