Leading Through Crises
The recent natural disasters
have highlighted the need for every business school to develop a plan
for dealing with a crisis situation that interrupts the normal
functioning of the business school. Two business schools that have
first-hand experience with dealing with such a crisis share their
insights on what to expect when a crisis happens and how to lead during
and after the crisis.

Paperless Faculty Activity Reporting
for Evaluation, Development and AACSB Compliance
We will examine a paperless
approach to the preparation of annual faculty activity reports and the
subsequent use of the underlying database for additional purposes
including: (1) summarizing faculty activities; (2) determining
compliance with AACSB standards; (3) faculty self evaluation and
performance evaluation, and (4) planning for various purposes, including
compliance with AACSB standards. The session considers approaches to
the development of similar in-house systems.

Luncheon and
Plenary II: Are You Ready for the Future?: Making the Right Call Now
Four forces
are shaping the future of management education. They are information
technology, especially the Internet; globalization and the rise of Asia,
especially China and India; domestic market demand requiring a high degree
of specialization; and staff and faculty performance metrics, especially as
it relates to teaching vs. research focus.
A number of
outcomes driven by these four forces will be the focus of this session. They
include: rise and legitimacy of distance learning; shift from the two year
full time MBA to undergraduate as well as evening MBA programs; rebirth of
discipline based Masters Degrees; Summer internships in Asia; non
traditional competition from Asia as well as corporatized and equity
investment driven national universities; and finally, demand for faculty and
staff productivity. To manage this
future will require strong intellectual and administrative leadership in
repositioning the schools of business.

Do You have the Right Career Services
Model?
One of the most
important decisions that deans and associate deans must make is what
career services model best serves their students. Centralized?
Decentralized? Outsourced? An office exclusively for MBA’s? Making the
right decision effects enrollments, student satisfaction, alumni
success, and rankings. Are you making the right choice?

Models for Responsibility Based
Budgeting
Responsibility Based Budgeting (RBB) is
increasingly present in higher education. Such systems can boost academic
and financial incentives by aligning unit responsibility for both costs and
revenues. Incentive creation prompts concerns about fueling the negative as
well as the positive side of opportunistic behavior and these must be
monitored and controlled. By placing increased amounts of decision relevant
information in the hands of academic unit leaders, responsibility based
budgeting can become an effective tool for academic leaders to achieve both
academic and financial success.

Involving Faculty in the Continuous Improvement Process
Our
Assurance of Learning Team developed a methodical procedure for involving
all faculty in the revision of Learning Outcomes and Assessment
Methods. Faculty, having worked individually, in small interdisciplinary
groups, within discipline groups, and finally as a whole college during this
process, have taken "ownership" of assurance of learning.

Getting the Most from Your Department
Chair
This session will discuss the critical role that department chairs
can and do play in implementing effective strategies. Chairs often find
themselves quite literally sitting on the horns of a dilemma—on the one
hand they are evaluators and on the other they are colleagues with those
whose work they review.
The presentation will feature discussion on the duality
of the chair’s role and how to develop strategies that enhance effectiveness
and change. Specifically, topics that will be covered include:
PowerPoint Presentation
- Practical strategies for developing the team
approach
- Identifying forces for and against change
- Strategies for reducing resistance to change
- Strategies for increasing faculty intellectual
contributions
