Experienced Difficulty

An investigation was undertaken to assess whether Hispanic persons have cause for optimism in their quest to compete for managerial business positions. Using three instruments, statistical analysis of data from 262 students graduating with Master of Business Administration degrees indicated that 109 respondents perceived Hispanic managerial candidates no differently in comparison with white managers than 153 students saw black managerial candidates in comparison with white managers. Given that black managerial candidates have experienced difficulty in achieving high organizational status, Hispanic people may experience similar barriers.

Professional Doctorate

The Professional Doctorate (ProfDoc) is attracting increasing attention because of its perceived greater than the Doctor of Philosophy’s (PhD’s) focus on meeting the needs of the knowledge economy. The paper examines the nature of the ProfDoc vis-a-vis the PhD and identifies significant characteristics of the ProfDoc, especially in respect of relevance and performativity. It then analyses these characteristics in the context of the professional Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) in Information Systems (IS) at an Australian university. An ethnographic approach is used to examine the internal (university) and external (student) environments of the DBA(IS). Recommendations are made to increase its effectiveness for the knowledge economy, including moving to a greater student and industry centred approach. Finally, conclusions are drawn to determine its relevance to the knowledge economy.

Information Systems Research

Information systems were developed in early 1960s to process orders, billings, inventory controls, payrolls, and accounts payables. Soon information systems research began. Harry Stern started the “Information Systems in Management Science” column in Management Science journal to provide a forum for discussion beyond just research papers (Banker & Kauffman, 2004). Ackoff (1967) led the earliest research on management information systems for decision-making purposes and published it in Management Science. Gorry and Scott Morton (1971) first used the term decision support systems (DSS) in a paper and constructed a framework for improving management information systems. The topics on information systems and DSS research diversifies. One of the major topics has been on how to get systems design right.

Per Se

Das Ziel dieses Beitrags war, ein Verständnis über Reifegradmodelle zu erarbeiten und Potenziale sowie Grenzen der Anwendung in betriebswirtschaftlichen Bereichen aufzuzeigen. Dazu wurde der Begriff des Reifegradmodells von drei Perspektiven beleuchtet sowie eine Auswahl von Einsatzgebieten skizziert und mit Beispielen belegt. Im Ergebnis des Beitrags wurde deutlich, dass Reifegradmodelle per se sehr variabel verwendbare Instrumente sind, welche in nahezu allen denkbaren Bereichen im Unternehmen eingesetzt werden können und eine Reihe von Vorteilen mit sich bringen. Es wurde jedoch auch hervorgehoben, dass der Einsatz von Reifegradmodellen überlegt erfolgen muss, um die genannten Vorteile zu erlangen. Maturity models are management tools, which are mainly applied in Information Systems and Informatics. However, their roots are to be found in Business Administration, particularly in Quality Management. Therefore, the following article aims at introducing the concept of maturity models from a linguistic, an application-based, and a structural perspective prior to exemplarily presenting potential application domains in management and business administration. Keywords: supply chain management, qualitätskriterien, linguistische perspektive

English Students

This study investigates the communication and learning needs of Master of Business Administration (MBA) business English students and their perceptions of effective curriculum design. The research instruments are two-stage surveys of 99 MBA students from a public university in China. The results of the study show that English is not extensively used in the workplaces of MBA business English students, and that the majority of them use Chinese. Most English usage occurs in foreign businesses. The most difficult skills for MBA business English learners are found to be oral communication and listening comprehension. However, there are still very strong needs for further improvement in English communication. For the MBA business English courses, oral communication activities, especially with expatriate teachers, are particularly needed. The MBA business English courses should connect with real-world practice and be relevant to job and business needs. This study has significant implications for MBA business English curriculum reform in both Chinese and international contexts.
