Download or read book Virtual Corporate Universities written by Walter R.J. Baets and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past years, business schools have been experimenting with distance learning and online education. In many cases this new technology has not brought the anticipated results. Questions raised by online education can be linked to the fundamental problem of education and teaching, and more specifically to the models and philosophy of education and teaching. Virtual Corporate Universities: A Matrix of Knowledge and Learning for the New Digital Dawn offers a source for new thoughts about those processes in view of the use of new technologies. Learning is considered as a key-strategic tool for new strategies, innovation, and significantly improving organizational effectiveness. The book blends the elements of knowledge management, as well as organizational and individual learning. The book is not just a treatment of technology, but a fusion of a novel dynamic learner (student)-driven learning concept, the management and creation of dynamic knowledge, and next-generation technologies to generic business, organizational and managerial processes, and the development of human capital. Obviously, the implications of online learning go far beyond the field of business as presented in this book.

Download or read book Handbook of Corporate University Development written by Geoff Peters and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the moment the first corporate university (CU) was created and the term was coined, the central metaphor of university has proved a double-edged sword. The emphasis on university has been a driving force in moving companies beyond a restricted and siloed approach to training, to a central vision for learning within the organization. On the other hand, there have been failures and many corporate universities have struggled to bring a business rigour to learning or to align their development with the key business and financial drivers of the organization. Handbook of Corporate University Development draws on experience from around the world, to provide anyone responsible for strategy and learning - at senior levels in government, education and business - with a picture of current best practice. The Handbook is not a prescriptive 'how-to', rather an exploration of key issues such as: Who owns a corporate university initiative? How is the funding managed? How is the CU aligned with business strategy? How do CU directors and project managers deploy resources? How do they deal with suppliers? How do they report and measure CU performance? What are the processes and technologies needed to provide and support different forms of learning? How can you blend different media? How do you assess what learning has taken place? What are the future prospects and potential for corporate universities? It is time for the corporate university to demonstrate how business rigour, handled deftly and with strong and perceptive leadership, can revolutionize learning both inside and outside the organization. Handbook of Corporate University Development is an important catalyst towards this process.

Download or read book Corporate University written by Donald C. Fisher, Ph.D. and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-02 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Corporate University can be designed to not only support its parent organization in achieving its strategic goals by developing and educating its workforce, but also by becoming an external profit center that can have a financial impact on an organization's bottom-line. Before planning a Corporate University a parent organization should conduct a full assessment. One of the most important goals is to ensure that the Corporate University has support from the organizations senior leadership. A variety of well-known organizations have established and sustained successful corporate universities. Several of these organizations include global models such as Motorola University, McDonald's Hamburger University, Disney Institute/Disney University, Hilton Worldwide University and Boeing Leadership Center. Unlike traditional universities, corporate universities demand a return on their investment. There must be concrete evidence that the classroom is delivering results. Many corporate universities provide hands-on and team learning as a more effective alternative to lecture-based courses. All corporate universities are held accountable for providing learning and knowledge that is directly applicable to the overall work environment of the organization. Corporate universities in today's environment are increasingly virtual organizations, defined by their use of new technology for learning. E-learning is widely used as a means to achieve cost effectiveness and delivery flexibility for students. The challenge for corporate universities operating throughout the 21st Century will be to not only incorporate the latest technology to aid student learning and organizational success, but to also ensure that the corporate university is a viable and sustainable institution that is positioned to serve many future generations of learners.
