International Business and Economics Scholarship from the Space of Mindfulness David R. Borker

Abstract

Learning how to balance your mind, cultivate awareness, build emotional resilience, develop self-compassion and generate compassion for others, see and listen deeply.

Mindfulness meditation and contemplation practices have influenced all levels of education, including undergraduate and graduate teaching in colleges and Schools of Business. This teaching has penetrated the business world, through such means as executive educational programs, resulting in the spread of mindfulness meditation practices in many types of organizations. Although there is scholarly and professional research on the role of mindfulness in business higher education and business organizations, little if any attention has been paid to the potential impact of mindfulness practices on business and economic scholarship itself. This is the subject of our keynote address. The first part of the presentation describes intellectually and demonstrates experientially the basic concepts and practices of mindfulness meditation as they have been actively utilized and transmitted for several millennia in the East. The second part summarizes briefly the benefits that have been derived from integrating mindfulness meditation practices into both business higher education and into actual business organizations. The third part examines the characteristics of scholarly thinking, research, writing and discourse and identifies the unique benefits that can be derived by integrating mindfulness meditation and contemplation practices into these activities. The conclusion offers a vision of international business and economics scholarship transformed by the mindfulness of its authors. Biography David Borker is an associate professor in the Department of Economics, Finance, and Management at Manhattanville College since 2009, where he teaches a variety of graduate and undergraduate courses in accounting, international marketing, international management, and international business. Professor Borker received his B.A. from Cornell University, a Master of Accounting from the Ohio State University and a Ph.D. from Yale. He is a licensed certified public accountant (CPA). Before joining Manhattanville College, Professor Borker worked in accounting, finance, and international business at Visa, Huntington Bancshares, American Electric Power, and RWE Gruppe. He was a business management consultant in the United States for several Fortune 100 companies and consulted internationally in Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia. He has taught undergraduate and MBA-level courses in accounting and other business subjects at various other universities. Professor Borker's primary research interests are international accounting, international Internet marketing, entrepreneurship, and business education. Prof. Borker regularly gives papers and chairs sessions at business conferences and publishes research articles in a variety of scholarly journals. To date, he has published over 30 articles in peer reviewed scholarly journals and made over 40 oral presentations at scholarly and professional meetings. In addition to being Editor-in-Chief of the International Business and Economics Journal, he is on the editorial board of several other scholarly journals.

Faculty Driven Assessment Of Graduate Degree Programs: Process, Technology, And Proven Results

Manuel Rosa, Yan Luo-Beitler, Jessica Fuda Daddio Abstract This paper presents a model of a graduate program assessment led by faculty from an institution offering online degrees. A culture of assessment that goes beyond data collection and demonstrates how to use direct and indirect means of assessment to improve student learning outcomes and educational practice in general will be shared. An assessment of student learning is critical to student and institutional success. An institution must document student learning, but more importantly, foster a culture of continuous, integrated, institution-wide evaluation and improvement. This is important for a myriad of reasons, not the least of which is the scrutiny of the public, external evaluators, students, stakeholders, and the federal government. This institution, offering online graduate degrees, has developed a faculty driven process that uses technology for both learning outcomes assessment, summative and formative assessment, and record keeping purposes; employs both direct and indirect means of assessment; integrates institutional and professional accreditation standards; and provides evidence of analysis, action plans, and program improvement resulting from the process. The following main areas are addressed: Documenting what students know; validating how students learn best; fostering continuous improvement; developing culture of improvement; ongoing and integrated research-based planning and evaluation; and showcasing a robust, meaningful institutional effectiveness program that promotes student learning.

Social Justice Issues Explored Through Theater Arts In The Classroom Chelsea LeValley

Abstract In a current cultural climate ripe with discussions of social ethics, how can we provide an emotionally safe and empathetically explorative context for students in our classrooms to engage with hot button social justice issues? How do we shape our curriculum to help students learn to answer questions about racism, homophobia, sexism, and other identity-based issues? At foundry10, we’ve explored this idea through many of iterations of a social justice theater arts program in several middle and high schools in the Seattle area. In each, we paired a teacher with a teaching artist to co-create tailored curriculum for their student populaces and subject areas, respectively. For example, in a series of podcast classes, students analyzed classic plays like “Raisin in the Sun” and “Fences” that deal with issues of racism and classism, wrote new stories based off of a character with whom they identified from the play and developed a story that might have happened to that character outside of the scripted play. Students reported finding emotional connections to characters with whom they didn’t physically identify, and felt they had a platform or voice to speak about issues like race that they have previously felt afraid to address. In not only writing but playing these characters they were empathizing and elaborating on these stories, connecting them to real life and achieving the CORE standards in ELA for these writing exercises. After listening to each other's recorded podcasts, students engaged in an empathetic and illuminating discussion that resulted in greater allyship amongst classmates. Research has shown that providing students, both those unfamiliar and those familiar with theater arts, the opportunity to physically and emotionally engage with hot button issues from another’s point of view, has drastically improved not only student-reported understanding of topics but it has fostered cohesion among students in these classrooms. Throughout our research we have found many surprising themes, which in addition to exercises and curriculum developed for this program we are eager to share with other educators. . Participants will also be introduced to resources to use in their own classrooms as well as ways to connect with us to further the discussion and possibly run similar programs within their schools.

Information Literacy Skills Development: A Case Study Of Management Major At The USCG Academy

Alina M. Zapalska, Nick Zieser, Kim Young-McLear, Michael McCarty, Tyler Kelley, Michael Glinski

Abstact The paper demonstrates examples of how information literacy (IL) can be contextualized within coursework assignments. The assignments require students to explore and evaluate information from a wide variety of printed, electronic, scholarly, and popular sources. Students are required to use information, learn, and complete their IL study tasks. When they complete their assignments and write reports they not only learn the subject knowledge but their ability to search for and evaluate information is noticeably improved. The integration of IL assignments within the coursework illustrates an approach to improve students’ capabilities to evaluate and apply information in a new learning environment while generating new knowledge. The attainment of the IL educational outcomes at the CGA is based on the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) outcomes and has been adopted for development and assessment in all courses in a specific sequence from freshman year to senior year. The paper delivers examples of IL assignments where students learn how to find, organize, and evaluate, and select the immense array of information that is available across different IL resources. The authors start with an overview of theoretical and applied research and discuss relevant IL issues and concepts. The focus is to present the process of designing and implementing an IL process in an undergraduate program with the use of experiential learning. This process presented has been drawn from the fields of education as well as from library and information science.

All Aboard! The Affective Approach to Increasing Global Awareness Rachel Dunbar

Abstract Minority students are less likely to travel internationally for a number of different reasons. They are reluctant to leave their families, believe that traveling is reserved for the majority population, and fear that they are not financially able to afford this “luxury”. This is especially problematic when these students have few faculty members of color on their campuses with whom they can confer for guidance. Given that society is becoming increasingly diverse, there is a need for more faculty of color who are sensitive to the needs of students of color at colleges and universities (Gasman, Kim, & Nguyen, 2011). This is also true for varied industries whose workforce demographics reflect diversity, but not extensive global awareness. To whom can employees turn within their companies to help direct them toward a greater understanding international significance in their professional lives? The presenter believes that the development and implementation of an early intervention strategy to present individuals with a new perspective on the benefits of traveling abroad will offer the widest range of benefits for students and employees, including increased graduation rates and higher workforce productivity, respectively. Therefore, the purpose of this workshop is to offer insight on how to develop a reciprocal approach to Krathwohl’s learning taxonomy to translate it into an instructional taxonomy. Through interactive, hands-on activities that focus on the affective domain, participants will walk away with a practical tool kit of strategies to utilize in increasing, engaging, and retaining students and employees in diverse society. Further, workshop participants will explore alternative global opportunities including internship, work abroad, and language immersion. Biography Rachel B.

Shakespeare Disrupted: Innovative Use Of Arts Pedagogy In The Development Of Legal Education

Alan East, Christina Thompson, Sonia Ritter

Abstract This is an interactive workshop which will actively showcase how Coventry University Law School uses its project, “Shakespeare Disrupted” to create a multi-disciplinary arts pedagogy to engage law students and develop a range of key legal skills in learning disciplinary concepts (relating to complex and real-world problems). The innovation is a multi-disciplinary partnership involving:

• Christina Thompson: Associate Head of Law • Alan East: Solicitor-Advocate and Senior Lecturer • Sonia Ritter: Actor and theatre practitioner

The workshop will involve two scenes performed from Measure for Measure prepared and presented by Sonia Ritter (an established English actor of stage and television). Delegates can observe or take part in this interactive workshop which demonstrates how it enhances law students’ critical thinking skills and nurtures a range of soft legal skills, such as confidence in public speaking, discussion, communication and reflection skills. The scenes taken from Measure for Measure explore key legal concepts such as the processes of a legal defense, the importance of language in law, the power of argument and morality, law and justice.

Online Learners: The Lack Of Preparedness For The Environment! Doris Yates

Abstract This hour long workshop will focus on online learners and how prepared they are for the online learning environment or are they. Having taught in the online learning environment for the past five years, the following are a few of the pitfalls of the online learners:

• Academic Dishonesty: Submitting work as their own when they did not participate in the preparation of the presentations.

• Course Length: Course historically has been taught over ten weeks, however during the summer of 2016 and fall 2016, did five-week short sessions to determine the impact on the learner. Course length does not seem to affect the behavior of the online learner, or how they participate in the course.

• Drop Out Rates: While many of the students engage in the usage of technology daily there does not seem to be transferable skills when it comes to taking online courses. There seems to be a misconception regarding the "ease" of online courses and the amount of work required.

• Lack Of Adherence To Rubrics: Information for presentations is included in the syllabus, a checklist is available for the one (five-week course) two presentations (10-week course) and ignored while preparing group assignment(s).

• Lack Of Communication: following discussion board posting instructions and communicating with the professor and classmates. Rather than post information in a timely manner and/or by the due date they send the discussion board information to the professor to "prove" they completed the work.

• Lack Of Dedication To Online Learning: Students seem to start out engaged but as the term progresses they seem to become disengaged as other courses, work, travel and other nonrelated "excuses" impede engagement. Want exceptions to submit work when timelines have not been adhered to or have past. When expectations regarding assignments are not met, they want to question the assigned grade. In other words, they do not follow directions yet want to question the outcome. Question and at the requirement to read and respond to two of their classmate's comments, it is viewed as "time-consuming"!

• Misconception: There is a misconception regarding the ease of online classes. The rationales for taking online classes are because of work schedules and other day-to-day factors in their lives but are truly not involved in the course.

• Navigating: There is difficulty navigating the course assignments and discussion boards. There is a lack of understanding when it comes to responding to discussion boards and weekly units, as there are questions for both per week that are to be answered yet there is difficulty being able to follow the sequence of questions.

The full abstract for this workshop is available in the conference proceedings.

A Workshop Demonstrating A Team-Based Business Simulation Within An On-Line Global Masters Programme: Making Constructivist Pedagogy Work

Alan Parkinson, Lynsie Chew Abstract This workshop’s focus is the use of a bespoke business simulation – a game – within a strategic financial project (SFP) module, itself within an online global masters programme in professional accountancy (MPAcc). The programme is aimed at accountants and finance professionals. SFP is MPAcc’s final module. It introduces business research skills, leading to the preparation of a business plan concerning an organizational strategic initiative. A range of research literature examines challenges to learners within online education. These include, illustratively: feelings of isolation and disconnection; lack of interactivity; lack of community; These contribute to limiting critical and analytical dialogue opportunities. Consequently some learners struggle with being able to make sense of their learning, not generating understanding. MPAcc’s design endeavours to remedy such shortcomings. It does so through a constructivist pedagogy, changing knowledge as a product to knowing as a process. In SFP the challenge of managing an airport – in the guise of a simulation called Icarus – is put before online teams of five, tasked to achieve/ exceed key performance indicators across five financial years, with one week equating to one year. Each week students change management roles/responsibilities. This workshop demonstrates how constructivist educational theory is used to enhance meaning by linking students’ reflective statements on how Icarus contributes towards their final business plan, improving their online student experience.
