Traditional and Online Learning in Executive Education: How Both Will Survive and Thrive

In a highly interconnected and technology-mediated world, the way in which education is recognized as a communicative phenomenon is highly relevant to understand its development and future possibilities. In this text, educommunication is analyzed from the point of view of interactions that occur in different digital learning environments, especially in ICT-enhanced classrooms, blended learning, e-learning, mobile learning and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC). This analysis was conducted from a systematic literature review of 240 papers that describe research generated on these topics, during the last 20 years.The results show that beyond the importance of interaction for the development of educational practices, different digital environments involve different ways of conceiving and deploying interaction processes, inside and outside the classroom.This implies the imperative need to adjust the current processes of teacher training in such a way that teachers can understand these differences and recognize both their theoretical and practical implication.

“…On the other hand, the cost of university executive education has made it inaccessible for a large number of managers who seek to cope with the rapidly changing corporate practices (Stanton & Stanton, 2017). Universities had been criticized for offering admission for Executive MBA without setting any standard and making it a source of making money (Hilgert, 1996).…”

Critics of the value of the Executive MBA program have not adequately considered the perceptions of Executive MBA students. This paper evaluates performance of an Executive MBA program by exploring students’ preferred developmental outcomes and perceptions about the effectiveness of their Executive MBA program towards delivering the targeted outcomes. Interviews, focus groups and survey were conducted with program’s directors, staff, and current and graduated students in a large privately run university in Punjab province of Pakistan. As a result of a rigorous process, the study identified twenty-seven critical outcomes under two categories namely “personal outcomes” and “professional outcomes” which students consider important and urge their Executive MBA program to deliver. On the whole students appear to be satisfied with their Executive MBA program; however, the effectiveness of their program is below their expectations. Identification of the exact outcomes in this study provide directions for Executive MBA administrators to make their curriculum and pedagogical/andragogical techniques more relevant and value-oriented for their students. Based on these findings, it is inferred that Executive MBA programs’ planning should consider students as the protagonist of their programs’ planning process.

“…Business schools have become players in numerous and diversified PD markets (Amdam, 2016;Smith & Keaveney, 2017;Stanton & Stanton, 2017). However, with all the resources spent on PDP, there is little evidence that it has added value to participants or their firms (Pfeffer & Fong, 2002;Tushman, et al, 2007).…”

This paper aims to explore the marketing and managerial implications of university-based Professional Development Programs (PDPs), in the light of the current market opportunities and trends, value-added to providers and participants, the diverse providers' methodologies in launching these programs, and the challenges faced by providers. This exploratory study adopted a qualitative research method approach, where semi-structured indepth interviews were held with university executives and decision makers of two private universities in Egypt in their early PDP stages. The findings of the study provide several recommendations that may aid providers in the formulation of efficient PDPs that provide value for both providers and participants.
