    "I would like to get information regarding the use of assessment activities
    in
    MBA programs. My colleagues and I are in the midst of revising our
    assessments which are currently wholly trait-based. We'd like to move
    to a
    behaviorally-based assessment (competency-based), but for our
    proposal to the
    Dean, we need to review how prevalent each kind of assessment is
    among fellow
    programs.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated "

    The Wharton School is using competency based instruments in its MBA
    and some of its executive programs. For more information I would
    suggest that you contact the supplier of those materials Paul Connolly,
    Ph. D. at 860/388-9777; Paul@perfprog.com or Stewart Friedman at
    Wharton 215/898-8618; friedman@wharton.upenn.edu.
