  1. Assessed: 2010, 2011, 2012 BSBA Global Perspective

  2. SLO 4.1: Identify and describe the impact of the global economy on business decisions. SLO 4.2: Explain and apply a global perspective in making business decisions. Goal 4: Global Perspective – Demonstrate a global perspective and an understanding of the dynamics of the global economy in making decisionsStudent Learning Outcomes: Goal adopted May 2009, Assessed for the first time Spring 2010 (Cycle #2); again in Spring 2011 (Cycle #3); in Spring 2012 only the second SLO was assessed.

  3. Where do our students learn and practice global perspective skills? • Integrated into: • Preparation for the Major Requirements • Core Courses in the BSBA Major • Advanced Courses in the BSBA Major • MGT 405: International Business Strategy & Integration • Required capstone course for all BSBA students

  4. How do we assess our students’ global perspective skills? Cycle #2 -2010 • Final exams completed for the college-wide CBA capstone course (MGT 405) were examined. • Course Instructor and Director of Assessment developed a rubric after reviewing several from the global skills literature. • Rubric was widely distributed to students during the semester. • Course Instructor & Director of Assessment rated the final exams using the rubric following a training and norming session.

  5. Rubric Construction: SLO to Dimension to Question Mapping Details • 7 Point scale from Weak to Excellent. • 6-7: Exceeds Expectations • 5: Meets Expectations • 4: Approaches Expectations • 2-3: Below Expectations • 1: Fail • SLO mapped to Rubric criterion then criterion mapped to exam question.

  6. SLO #1 • SLO #1: Identify and describe the impact of the global economy on business decisions. • Rubric Dimension: Understanding and Application of the relevant concepts and frameworks. • Exam Question: Describe the fundamental challenges faced as [a chosen case company] expands its products [internationally].

  7. SLO #2 • SLO #2: Explain and apply a global perspective in making business decisions. • Rubric Dimension: Strategically integrate (i.e. integrate across internal and external environment; across functional areas; holistically from a firm perspective). • Exam Question: What recommendations would you offer to deal with these challenges [identified in previous response].

  8. Cycle #2 Rubric

  9. How do we assess our students’ global perspective skills? Cycle #3 -2011 • Final exams completed for the college-wide CBA capstone course (MGT 405) were examined. • Course Instructor and Director of Assessment refined the Cycle #2 rubric based on mapping & experience. This resulted in SLO #2 being expanded to 2 dimensions. • Rubric was widely distributed to students during the semester. • Two independent CBA faculty members rated the final exams using the revised rubric following training and norming sessions.

  10. SLO #2 • SLO #2: Explain and apply a global perspective in making business decisions. • 2 Rubric Dimensions: • Strategically integrate (i.e. integrate across internal and external environment; across functional areas; holistically from a firm perspective). • Arrive at logical and well-reasoned conclusions/recommendations. • Exam Question: What recommendations would you offer to deal with these challenges [identified in previous response].

  11. How do we assess our students’ global perspective skills? Cycle #4 -2012 • Final exams completed for the college-wide CBA capstone course (MGT 405) were examined. • Director of Assessment & raters post-hoc determined question asked did not adequately assess SLO 4.1 hence decision to use data only to assess SLO 4.2 in this cycle. • Rubric used in Cycle #3 collapsed to a single dimension. • “Approaches” eliminated from rubric, 3 point scale used. • Two independent CBA faculty members rated the final exams using the revised rubric following training and norming sessions.

  12. Assessment Conducted: • Cycle #2:Spring Semester 2010 in MGT 405 • Sample Size: 124 • Cycle #3: Spring Semester 2011 in MGT 405 • Sample Size: 120 • Cycle #4: Spring Semester 2012 in MGT 405 • Sample Size: 162

  13. What do we expect of our students? • BENCHMARKS: • 70% of our students should meet or exceed expectations for global perspective skills • 30% of our students should exceed expectations for global perspective skills

  14. RESULTS Cycle #2

  15. SLO #1: Identify and describe the impact of the global economy on business decisions. 33.9% 29.8% 25.8% 10.5% “70% should meet or exceed expectations”; 36.3% actually did “30% should exceed expectations”; 10.5% actually did

  16. SLO #1: Identify and describe the impact of the global economy on business decisions – a more detailed look . . . ALL STUDENTS MGMT MAJORS STUDIED ABROADIB MAJORS Mean: 3.89Mean: 3.95Mean: 3.61 Mean: 3.22

  17. SLO #2: Explain and apply a global perspective in making business decisions. 37.4% 30.1% 24.2% 8.1% “70% should meet or exceed expectations”; 38.2% actually did “30% should exceed expectations”; 8.1% actually did

  18. SLO #2: Explain and apply a global perspective in making business decisions– a more detailed look . . . ALL STUDENTS MGMT MAJORS STUDIED ABROADIB MAJORS Mean: 3.96Mean: 3.92Mean: 3.83 Mean: 3.78

  19. Closing the Loop . . . • Possibilities discussed after Cycle #2: • Required global/international course for all BSBA students • Choice from existing courses, OR • Development of a common global course • Some evidence suggests that MGMT majors, who currently take a required global course perform better. • Required International Dimension for all BSBA students (students choose from menu of international experience options) • Optional Global Certificate Program • Consideration – Cycle #2 evidence did not suggest that studying abroad enhanced global perspective.

  20. Closing the Loop . . . • Decision made to reassess the goal after one year before implementation of any major curricular changes. • Optional Global Certificate Program (GEP) moved forward in the college. • Associate Dean charted global competence in the CBA based on recommendations from the AACSB taskforce on global education.

  27. Cycle #2 & #3 Comparisons* SLO #1 SLO #2 * SLO #2 dimensions combined to form single SLO measure for Cycle #3

  28. Observations

  29. Observations

  30. Closing the Loop after two rounds • The AACSB taskforce on global education continues to be an important source of direction for our Global Perspective goal. • Plans to reassess again in one year to check for trends. • Proposal for the institution of a Global Perspective requirement across the college has been introduced at both the graduate and undergraduate level and is currently in the governance process.

  31. RESULTS Cycle #4

  32. SLO #2: Explain and apply a global perspective in making business decisions. 57.4% 25.3% 14.2% “70% should meet or exceed expectations”; 82.7% actually did “30% should exceed expectations”; 57.4% actually did

  33. Observations

  34. Closing the Loop after three rounds • A thorough review of the assessment process – measures, rubric, and rating process is imperative. • This will be undertaken by the CBA Undergraduate Committee during the 2012-2013 academic year. • The proposed revisions to the BSBA program include the addition of a one-unit Global Perspective course.
