Management Department Profile

  • 1.  Management Department Profile

    Posted 01-16-2006 15:50
    I am a faculty member in a Management Department at an AACSB Business
    College. As Chair of our Department Development Committee, I am
    seeking a quantitative self-assessment instrument that could generate
    a profile (perhaps a multidimensional graphic profile)of our
    department faculty's perceptions, value emphases and/or interest
    priorities with respect to department mission and management
    education. One dimension, for example, might be a Likert scale of 1-10
    on the relative importance of academic research to department mission;
    another scale might be the importance of exposure to practitioner
    performance in management education; and still another might be a
    ranking of relative importance of different managerial specialties
    (such as Organization Behavior, Strategic Management, etc.) for
    undergraduate and graduate management education.

    If any colleague has devised, used or knows of such an instrument in
    the research that would generate a department profile, I would be very
    appreciative if you would be willing to share it.

    Thank you.
