    An integrated competency-based approach to management education: an Italian
    MBA case study, International Journal of Training & Development, 8, 4(Dec.
    2004), 240+.

    Authors abstract:
    Several studies have analyzed the impact of competency-based methodologies
    on human resource management, with special emphasis on their applications to
    management education and development. As concerns management education,
    however, these studies have usually focused on one or few separate aspects,
    never proposing a consistent application of competency-based methodologies
    throughout the entire educational process. This paper shows how it is
    possible to design, deliver and monitor a management education program that
    uses, in an integrated manner, a multiplicity of competency-based tools in
    all the stages of the process, and discusses the application of such an
    integrated approach to an Italian MBA program. This study provides a
    multiple constituency framework that integrates educational institutions,
    students and the companies that hire them in the design, implementation and
    control of effective, competency-based, management education.
