To bridge this gap, we propose the development and deployment of SCM educational programs that provide learning opportunities earlier in students’ educational journeys. We argue that such programs should be based on self-directed learning of SCM knowledge, business concepts/skills, and their real-life application with help from industry partners. We present a case study of a four-way partnership SCM educational program for high schoolers, which utilizes a project-based learning method. Survey data and focus group discussion revealed positive developmental learning outcomes, the program's uniqueness, and challenges such as lack of awareness, expertise, and industry partners. We evaluate the efficacy of this four-way partnership among industry, government agencies, universities, and high schools and discuss the importance of “champions” for each partner. Our findings offer a scalable educational model that leverages multi-stakeholder engagement to address the SCM talent and educational conceptual gap.","PeriodicalId":46210,"journal":{"name":"Decision Sciences-Journal of Innovative Education","volume":"22 1","pages":"33-49"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/dsji.12304","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135868108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) has placed societal impact as an expectation of all accredited schools. This article proposes an integrated multisource and multimethod approach to measure the societal impact of a business school. Using data from various sources (primary data collection via faculty survey and secondary data via faculty annual review documents) we were able to identify societal impact themes that aligned with college activities in teaching, research, and community engagement. AACSB's outlook on societal impact and the United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDGs) provided the guiding framework. We performed content analyses using DICTION software on the data to algorithmically discover the themes characterizing societal impact. To further support our data collection efforts, faculty listening sessions and discussions with unit heads were also conducted. Decent Work and Economic Growth; and Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure emerged as the top two themes. Using word clouds, multiple subthemes emerged from these two overarching themes. To conclude, we discuss an approach to operationalizing these themes by quantifying societal impact in a business school.","PeriodicalId":46210,"journal":{"name":"Decision Sciences-Journal of Innovative Education","volume":"22 1","pages":"6-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135483056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because discussion forums are common in online classes, many instructors rely on summary statistics and self-reported measures to assess student engagement. However, these metrics overlook the structural and relational dimensions of student interactions in discussion forums. To complement those other metrics, this study uses social network analysis to examine interactions in a discussion forum to expose the structural and relational dimensions of student interactions. We aggregated data on student interactions in a discussion forum for an undergraduate class with 31 enrolled students. The graphical representation of student interactions in the discussion forum revealed the social positions and roles of students and exposed the strengths and weaknesses in the structural and relational ties. Mathematical analysis accurately measures student interactions in the forum using measures of centrality. Both of those analyses enabled the description and comparison of interactions at the group and individual levels. Social network analysis is a practical method that adds another perspective to our understanding of student interactions in discussion forums. The outcomes of social network analysis can help instructors design courses, devise appropriate teaching interventions, and effectively use forums to engage students to improve learning outcomes.","PeriodicalId":46210,"journal":{"name":"Decision Sciences-Journal of Innovative Education","volume":"21 4","pages":"197-207"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50138404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instruments to assess CT often rely on multiple-choice formats with inherent problems. This research presents two instruments for assessing CT, an essay and open-ended group-discussion format, which were implemented in an undergraduate business course at a large public university. The topics were intentionally chosen to be digitally-related (internet access and social media) since they raise complex issues, are applicable in many disciplines, and students are avid users, thereby making these instruments relevant, multidisciplinary, engaging, and multifaceted. These instruments may be adapted to enable educators to effectively assess undergraduate students’ ability to think critically. Qualitative analysis of the verbatim data with NVivo helps demonstrate the instruments’ efficacy in assessing CT, with (1) high-quality responses receiving high grades, and (2) overarching themes identified by content analysis, that coalesce into the three dimensions of social justice theory (distributive, procedural, and interactional), thus illustrating students’ consideration of complex fairness norms and societal needs. Excerpts of student responses are provided as illustrations of the indicators/evidence of critical thinking. Educators can use these instruments to first assess students’ CT skills, and then devise targeted interventions to improve the quality of students’ thought processes.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46210,"journal":{"name":"Decision Sciences-Journal of Innovative Education","volume":"21 3","pages":"123-143"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49038613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, many schools have not adequately updated their policies to support these faculty, leading some teaching-focused faculty to feel like second-class citizens. In this article, we provide a literature review of teaching-focused faculty hiring trends, challenges faced by teaching-focused faculty and the institutions that hire them, and proposed improvements to these challenges. Next, we draw from these best practices provided in the literature, as well as from first-person interviews, to share how business schools address these challenges. Specifically, we use interviews from decision makers (current and former deans) to examine how schools approach hiring and supporting teaching-focused faculty. Our study shows improved institutional support and acceptance of teaching-focused faculty over the past two decades, but with room for continued improvement. We conclude by arguing that TF faculty should be treated as strategic assets within schools in order to support collegiality, acceptance, and professional respect, while also enhancing students’ learning opportunities. In doing so, we hope to start a discussion of best practices that can better equip schools to provide institutional support to teaching-focused faculty.","PeriodicalId":46210,"journal":{"name":"Decision Sciences-Journal of Innovative Education","volume":"21 4","pages":"182-196"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/dsji.12293","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44551301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
