  • 1.  European Research Project

    Posted 07-17-2002 03:44
    Dear Colleagues,

    Would any of you be interested in doing a collaborative research project
    with Professors in France? At ESCEM "Grande Ecole" School of Business and
    Management, we have more than 20 undergraduate and graduate programs mostly
    in France, Greece and the Chech Republique. Many of these programs are
    programs for working executives. Perhaps you have done research in the
    United States or Canada and you would be interested in doing a comparitive
    study in these countries or in Europe? As many of these programs are MBA
    programs we have professors that are interested in research related to most
    areas of business.

    This year we are doing a voluntary research project in TQM "One minute
    evaluation" where we will ask for the voluntary participation of professors
    in more than a dozen different business degree programs. The main idea is
    that during the courses the professors will give the students the
    opportunity to give an anonymous feedback after a few lessons. Two simple
    questions will be asked, "What hindered your learning in this course"? "What
    has helped your learning in this course?" In this way, the instructor will
    be able to propose possible solutions to the students before the course
    ends. We have found that most of our professors and students would prefer
    an assessment before a course ends, so that they can profit from the
    changes. If you would be interested in doing a collaborative research in
    this area and you have some experience in how the data could best be
    exploited, then I would love to here from you.

    As ESCEM is extremely oriented towards Europe and International, the
    majority of our professors would like to do collaborative research with
    international partners for top management journals. Please contact me, if
    you are interested in doing research together with us.

    Sincerely,
