Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the months of April and September of 2009, the Graduate Management Admission Council[R] (GMAC[R]) conducted the Alumni Perspectives Survey, a longitudinal study of prior respondents to the Global Management Education Graduate Survey of management students nearing graduation. A total of 3,708 alumni responded to the April 2009 survey, representing graduates from the classes of 2000 through 2008. The September 2009 survey sample also included the newly graduated class of 2009. A total of 3,966 alumni responded to the September survey. This report combines data from both of the Alumni Perspectives Surveys conducted in 2009. Since this survey's inception 10 years ago, its research objectives have been to document job characteristics for both the first jobs alumni held after graduation and their current jobs; to track changes in career progression and salary over time; to assess the benefits of graduate management education from a retrospective point of view; and to monitor alumni's educational and communication needs. This report is organized into four sections: the first provides a portrait of the class of 2009 and their employment prospects; the second offers alumni perspectives on job and career progression, salaries, and skills needed for professional success; the third gives voice to alumni opinions on business ethics in the workplace and its role as a part of management curriculum; and the last section presents alumni perspectives on communications with their graduate business school and their ongoing relationship with their alma mater.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Graduate Management Admission Council[R] (GMAC[R]) first began conducting its Alumni Perspectives Surveys 11 years ago, several "truths" about graduate business school alumni have consistently stood the test of time: They are and remain eminently employable. They constantly rate the value of the degree highly. This year's results are consistent with those of the past. The vast majority, 93 percent, of all respondents to this year's survey reported being employed, and nearly nine out of 10 members (88%) of the class of 2010 had jobs upon graduation. GMAC's Alumni Perspectives Survey findings also show that 95 percent of graduate business school alumni rate their education as a good to outstanding value. The 2011 Alumni Survey Report offers combined data from surveys conducted in April and September 2010. A combined total of 6,877 graduate business alumni responded to the studies, and 824 respondents from the class of 2010 were included in September survey. One of the main research objectives of these alumni studies is to document job characteristics and track changes in employment data--job search strategies, salaries, promotions, job functions, responsibilities, and industries--over time. GMAC accomplishes this by drawing from a sample of thousands of graduating students in its annual surveys and developing a longitudinal database of alumni responses from the classes of 2000 through 2010. The breadth and depth of these survey findings help paint a big picture view of the job market for business school alumni, more than just a quick snapshot; and therein lies their true value and relevance for alumni, employers, and school administrators. The statistics gleaned from past alumni studies provide the context for survey findings in this 2011 report, which shows that the current economic recovery is yielding promising results for recent business school graduates: Employment levels for recent alumni are nearing their pre-recession levels of 2006 and 2007. The impact of the recent recession is moderating, but a slow recovery has spurred extra effort and more creative job search strategies, and led many business school graduates to cast a wider net in order to land a job. Seventy-six percent of 2010 alumni indicated their graduate business degree was essential to the success of these efforts. Further discussion and analysis of 2010 survey findings are presented in three sections: The first features the newly graduated class of 2010 and their job search strategies, employment statistics, and starting salaries; the second offers employment data reported by survey respondents from across graduation years, including job satisfaction, career progression and development, compensation, and a brief look at alumni who launch their own businesses. The last section explores alumni opinions about the value of their graduate management degrees, their educational development needs, and an evaluation of alumni career services. (Contains 16 figures, 1 table and 30 footnotes.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graduate business school students worldwide typically are motivated to pursue management education to achieve three objectives: to advance their careers, to increase their earning potential, and to develop their business knowledge, skills, and abilities. Once they graduate, these business school alumni discover many paths to fulfilling careers, but no matter the path, their careers tend to follow a consistent upward trajectory. They say personal effort, hard work, a graduate management education, and professional connections and networks contribute most to their success. Career success also is influenced by entrepreneurial behavior in the workplace, namely the level of innovativeness, proactivity, and risk-taking behavior that alumni bring to their jobs. The findings in the "2015 Alumni Perspectives Survey Report" offer a current snapshot of more than 12,000 business school alumni from the classes of 1959 through 2014 in their journeys from business school to careers. These alumni represent more than 230 graduate business programs at 71 universities in 16 locations that partnered with GMAC in this study. The data analyzed in this report highlight employment statistics and offer alumni feedback about their career progression and the value of their graduate management education. The Alumni Perspectives Survey, conducted in October and November 2014 by the Graduate Management Admission Council, provides business school professionals with data that can inform strategies for retaining and developing deeper levels of engagement with alumni and for conducting targeted outreach to prospective students. Survey topics featured in this report include: (1) Career status and progression, from entry and mid-level professionals to the c-suite, including the self-employed entrepreneur; (2) A global look at alumni compensation by work location and analysis of salaries in relation to gross domestic product and purchasing-power-parity per capita (GDP PPP); (3) The attributes of career success and a first look at the entrepreneurial orientation of alumni as defined by their innovative, proactive, and risk-taking behavior in the workplace; (4) Alumni employment data, including current job status, industry, job function, job level, work location, and organizational scope and size; and (5) The value of a graduate management education and measures of alumni engagement.

Download or read book Multidisciplinary Research Perspectives in Education written by Indika Liyanage and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The editors of this extraordinary book, Indika Liyanage and Badeng Nima, have brought together a wonderfully wide-ranging collection of chapters. The breadth and depth of the studies of education issues in China and Australia are impressive. The topics encompass important questions concerning education policies, curricula, pedagogy, equality, parental engagement, cultural heritage, and anti-drug education. The scope of the book includes Chinese and Australian settings that range from kindergartens to higher education, and from rural to urban environments. The diversity of the book strengthens rather than weakens its coherence, because the golden thread running through all the chapters is a portrayal of the complexity of education provision when global, national and local forces interact. Written by academics with hands-on experience, the chapters provide evidence-based discussions of practical conundrums, enriched by the sophisticated use of interdisciplinary approaches. As a result, this book is powerful, challenging and ground-breaking.” – Bob Adamson, UNESCO Chairholder in TVET and Lifelong Learning, Education University of Hong Kong

The Unima International Conference on Social Sciences and Humanity (UNICSSH) 2022 was conducted on October, 11th – 13th 2022, at The Grand Kawanua International City, Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. In 2022, Universitas Negeri Manado will host the Indonesian National Education Convention (KONASPI) X. Konaspi is a routine activity of the PPTKN which is held once every four years. The fourth industrial revolution (4.0) is marked by technological advances and supported by artificial intelligence that creates opportunities and challenges for the education system. University and vocational school graduates are facing a world transformed by technology which in turn is transforming the workplace from task-based to human-centered characteristics. Certain skills such as critical thinking, emotional intelligence, problem-solving, cognitive flexibility, and knowledge production are required. To answer this demand, the education system must put revolutionary innovation on its agenda. Scholars, researchers, and practitioners are invited to share ideas, research results, and best practices about education, science, and technology now and in the future at an international conference held by Universitas Negeri Manado as part of the Indonesian National Education Convention (KONASPI). As part of KONASPI X activities, Universitas Negeri Manado is holding the 2022 International Conference on Education, Social Science, and Humanities (ICESSHum). The topics in this international conference are Education, Law, Politics and Social Sciences, Economics, Public Administration, and Humanities. Through these themes, it is expected to involve many professionals who have indirect roles in related fields. To enrich this event, the committee invites all national and international participants (including academics, researchers, professionals, and other relevant stakeholders) to send research papers or review papers to be presented at the conference.
