Abstract

Abstract Competency development is important in any MBA program, perhaps the most in the capstone course. Aggregating replies from 167 MBA graduates who completed a client-oriented, team project-based MBA capstone course within a nine-year study period, two new reliable and distinct scales reflecting career competencies learned were developed, Business Project Competency (6 items) and Opportunity Discovery Competency (8 items). MBA graduates who reported their capstone experience had helped with four career advancing behaviors, i.e., in a job interview; to move to a new position or get a raise; change of careers; or expanding their professional network, had higher perceptions on both scales, versus MBA graduates not reporting these career advancing behaviors.

衡量MBA核心课程中培养的能力，并测试报告职业发展行为的感知能力的群体差异

抽象能力发展在任何MBA课程中都很重要，也许在顶点课程中最为重要。在9年的研究期间，167名MBA毕业生完成了以客户为导向、以团队项目为基础的MBA顶级课程，通过汇总他们的回复，我们开发了两个新的可靠且独特的职业能力量表，商业项目能力(6个项目)和机会发现能力(8个项目)。那些报告了自己顶峰经历的MBA毕业生在四种职业发展行为上有所帮助，即在求职面试中;升职:调到新职位或获得加薪;转行;与没有报告这些职业发展行为的MBA毕业生相比，他们在这两方面的看法都更高。
