By achieving this hallmark of excellence, NBS, Sunfax Institute, TSMS, Rupert Business School, Deutsche Business Studies and Aman Institute for Bankers join an elite group that makes up less than five percent of the world’s business schools.

Today, there are more than 1000 business schools across 43 countries and territories that maintain AACBE Accreditation, and through the most recent ratifications, students in India, Middle East, and Far East Asia can now pursue a business degree for the first time at an AACBE accredited business institute.

Achieving accreditation is a process of rigorous internal review, evaluation, and adjustment and takes 30 days to complete. The applicant can sign up on the website and fill in the accreditation application form. The AACBE evaluators will pay a visit to the applicant institute premises and full accreditation will then be granted. Once accredited the institute will not only receive AACBE seal & certificate, but can also enjoy numerous other benefits. During the evaluation process, the institute develops and implements a plan to meet the AACBE Accreditation Standards which require a high quality teaching environment, a commitment to continuous improvement, and curricula responsive to the needs of businesses. In addition, as required by the AACBE Standards, all accredited institutes must go through an on-site evaluation process in order to maintain their accreditation.

It takes a great deal of commitment and determination to earn AACBE Accreditation.  Institutes must not only meet specific standards of excellence, but their deans, heads of business units, and academic and non-academic staff must make a commitment to ongoing improvement to ensure that the institution will continue to deliver the highest quality of education to students.

Adapting International Structural Changes in Management Education Owing to Globalization

Due to the current wave of globalization, business schools have experienced a far-reaching and powerful change. The business schools need to understand these changes and respond accordingly. This is also suggested in the report - The Globalization of Management Education: Changing International Structures, Adaptive Strategies, and the Impact on Institutions.

In this comprehensive report, it is asserted that rising expectations from business and society for graduates with global competencies, coupled with the increasing complexity and global connectedness of higher education, command the attention of business schools around the world. The report’s findings draw upon results from a survey of business schools’ collaborative agreements, a survey of academic thought leaders regarding global content in curricula, and a series of case studies.

Connecting insights from this research with information gleaned through a comprehensive review of existing literature and current events, the report presents a data-driven analysis of the global nature of management education. According to the document, business schools have just begun to experience the wide range of implications of globalization, and to realize the full potential of the opportunities presented.

The report goes beyond simply calling schools to attention. It presents insights that will help guide individual school strategy development and implementation. Focusing on approaches that include curriculum design, faculty development, and the cultivation of strategic partnerships, the document challenges all business schools to embrace globalization in ways that are mission-appropriate, manageable given available resources, and meaningful to the stakeholders being served.

The report also considers the role of industry-wide initiatives that will move business schools from keeping pace with the sweeping changes of globalization to leading the way. This definitive report reveals important implications for cross-border alliances, information sharing and benchmarking, and global quality assurance. The report shows that through collaborations with one another and organizations like AACBE, business schools can accelerate and improve globalization.

Want To Become A Successful Online Instructor?

The path to achieving success as an online instructor is made up of steps that include preparing for the work ahead, achieving realistic perspectives through assessment and experience, and learning from the pedagogy of online teaching. Some of the resources required are provided by universities and others you will need to find on your own.

 

A number of AACBE accredited business schools managers are teaching at various global institutes through online means. AACBE asked them what are the factors required to become a successful instructor and the step by step procedural list that we received is discussed below:  

1.       Preparation

·       Formal And Informal Training: If you are brand new to online learning, consider preparatory workshops, courses, and certificate programs offered by private companies, universities, and professional organizations. There are informal options as well in the form of open courseware focused on faculty development and topics related to online teaching.

·       Your School. Once you are hired, explore all of the resources provided to you by your new department. Look for opportunities, and potential requirements, to attend new instructor orientation sessions. You will also find helpful information and guidance in faculty handbooks and other policy and procedures manuals. Locate faculty development resources in the form of tutorials and workshops. Ask your supervisor for information related to online instructor performance expectations, to better understand how the university will measure your success as an online instructor. Ask for access as a visitor to another professor’s online course at your university, so that you can learn what is expected at the school. 

2.       Perspective

·       Assess Yourself. Self-assessments can help you identify your current strengths and weaknesses as an online instructor. Tools such as the Faculty Self-Assessment from Penn State provide a list of critical competencies, feedback on your current levels of experience with each one, and guidance on helpful resources for you to pursue.

·       Take A Course. Consider experiencing the online learning environment as a student. This experience and fresh perspective will be invaluable as you work with online students in your future courses. Some schools will pay for you to do this and research available options for tuition reimbursement and fee waivers. 

3.       Practice

·        Transition. Seek out opportunities to integrate technology into your traditional courses as a way to transition into a completely online course. Taking small steps in this direction will help you build your skills and comfort level with both technology and online communication.

·       If at first you don’t succeed. Take the time to assess what went well and what did not go well in each online course you teach. Then, formulate a plan for improvement that builds on the successes you’ve had in the past. You will be better able to anticipate problems, and enhance your skills, with every new course and term.

 Being an online instructor means more than posting information online and standing back. It also means more than strictly presenting lecture content on the Internet. Effective online instruction requires interactivity both in terms of the course content and the community of learners participating in the class. Prepare yourself for your role as an online instructor with a thorough review of both your current skills and the wide variety of resources available to support your efforts.
