We explain the incentive system of the game, the roles available to participants, the privilegesand duties of the game’s CEOs, and the basic, progressive, and log methods of linking performanceoutcomes to points towards grades. Data from a one-semester administration of the game to apopulation of 32 undergraduate students show that the frequency distributions of performance scoresare as expected, and that the three performance measures of the game, namely lifespan extension,relative shares sold, and logged relative profit, are correlated with each other. The results suggestABSEL 2020 ProgramPage 24

that the game is authentic in replicating the functions of a corporate CEO, thereby allowingparticipants to practice formulating corporate strategies, making presentations to investors,executing strategies by acquiring and disposing of business operations, and employing executives tomanage subsidiaries.Science Mapping the Knowledge Base on Simulations and SeriousGames in Management Education, 1960-2018Dr. Philip HallingerMahidol UniversityUniversity of [email protected] WangThammasat UniversityMahidol [email protected] NguyenMahidol [email protected] review of the research used science mapping to analyze the knowledge base on the use ofsimulations and serious games in management education from 1960 to 2018. The authors usedbibliometric tools to analyze 1,156 Scopus-indexed documents that describe simulation- and gamebased learning in management education. This quantitative review of the literature revealed arapidly growing publication trajectory with 80% of the documents published since 2000 and 55%since 2010. The review empirically affirms the broad, long-term use of simulations and seriousgames in management education and highlights connections between this literature and relatedliterature in education, psychology and other professions. Citation analyses highlighted the role ofthe journal, Simulation & Gaming as the single most influential journal in this literature. Empiricalanalysis of publications led to the identification of Joseph Wolfe, Albert Faria, and Eduardo Salas as‘canonical’ authors whose scholarship has shaped discourse in this field of inquiry. While this is aglobal literature, scholars located in Anglo-American-European societies contributed for 85% of therelevant documents. This finding suggests a need for programmatic research that examines both thedesign and instructional use of simulations across different cultural contexts. In a globalmanagement education context, greater attention needs to be given to the ‘portability’ of theunderlying theories and decision rules that underlie simulations.INNOVATIONSABSEL 2020 ProgramPage 25

12:30 p.m.—1:50 p.m.Thursday, March 19Session Chair: Linda RodriguezIntegration of Professional Certifications in Business CurriculaKhushwant K S. PittengerAshland [email protected] JacobsAshland [email protected] MossAshland [email protected] purpose of the paper is to showcase integration of professional certifications intobusiness school curricula. The reasons for such integration and logistics of doing so are discussedbased on the experience of a business school in a comprehensive liberal arts university in theMidwest. While the use of certifications in limited number of disciplines such as accounting is wellaccepted and established, this paper highlights and advocates systematic use of such certificationsacross the entire business curricula. The case for the use of certifications by business schools ispresented from multiple stakeholders’ perspectives.Developing an Early Internship Program & Assessment Model: TheEmerging Ethical Leaders Internship ProgramDeborah GoodUniversity of Pittsburgh, [email protected] JonesUniversity of Pittsburgh, [email protected] Petrie-WymanUniversity of Pittsburgh, [email protected] BeamanUniversity of Pittsburgh, [email protected] OnosuUniversity of Pittsburgh, [email protected] paper discusses the importance of providing early internship experiences toundergraduate business students to enable more effective practical skill growth prior to graduation.The authors describe the Emerging Ethical Leaders program at the University of Pittsburgh’s DavidBerg Center for Ethics and Leadership, which provides sophomore and junior business students anearly exposure internship opportunity. This early exposure internship pairs business students withlocal businesses and organizations that have established partnerships with the University ofPittsburgh and David Berg Center for Ethics and Leadership. The internship opportunities ofteninvolve non-profits and small businesses, allowing business students the opportunity to apply theirABSEL 2020 ProgramPage 26

business acumen to organizations that may not have the staff or the time to complete certainbusiness-focused projects. By working with non-profit organizations and small businesses, studentsgain exposure to organizations with a socially responsible mission and gain important ethicalleadership skills. The goal of internship program is to provide students a way to engage with diversesectors and become more prepared for competitive internships in the summer following their junioryear. When applying for jobs, students are able to report on two effective and diverse internshipexperiences, enabling them to be a stronger job candidate. This paper describes the EmergingEthical Leadership model and provides a case-study example of effective early internshipexperiences. The authors also build an assessment model that captures the impact of the earlyinternship experience from the employer’s perspective. This assessment model is based off of findingsfrom an analysis of internship experiences indicating a need to integrate employer feedback into thedesign of internship programs at the University of Pittsburgh.International MBA Students – Towering Through Business ExperienceElham Tashakor, MBA StudentAshland [email protected] K.S. Pittenger, ProfessorAshland [email protected] Hagans, Career CoachAshland [email protected] paper focuses on ways to enrich the educational experiences of international students inthe USA. Challenges facing international students are identified. Through the perspective of aninternational student at Ashland University, a small liberal arts university in the Midwest, variousinnovative techniques for providing professional experiences to international business students arepresented. These techniques were used by the student to add an experiential element to her MBAstudies in the USA. The goal of the paper is to encourage similar creativity on other campuses toenhance the educational experiences of all international students.ABSEL 2020 ProgramPage 27

EXPERIENTIAL12:30 p.m.—1:50 p.m.Thursday, March 19Session Chair: Ron MagnusonA Case Study: To the LetterJames TolliverUniversity of New Brunswick (Retired)Céleste GrimardUniversité du Québec à Montré[email protected] he is about to retire, professor Ian Finagle reviews some letters that his dissertationadvisor, Maggie, sent him over the years. As a PhD student, Ian is especially anxious about ‘having itmade’ so that he can let his guard down and enjoy life. Essentially, he wants to know what it takes tobe successful as an academic, especially since it seems to be a moving target. Once a milestone isreached, another one appears in the distance. In her letters, Maggie tells Ian to be his own judge ofwhen he has ‘arrived.’ She offers advice concerning the dissertation process, how research is done,tenure, and the definition of career success. Our case study encourages Ph.D. students to evaluatethis advice based on their current experience, career objectives, and the values that they have beentaught in their Ph.D. program. They are also challenged to evaluate their implicit beliefs and valuesconcerning the dissertation process, research, definitions of career success, and the rewardsavailable to academics.Working on a Not-for-Profit’s End of Year Review and Tax Return asa Form of EBLKaren ShastriUniversity of [email protected], I have begun to provide MS in Accounting students with the opportunity to engagein the process and steps taken to provide a not-for-profit with their year-end review. Students areable to experience this real-life work on a one on one basis with me. Given this is a new program,students participate through an independent study. Because it is often the student’s first exposure toany type of assurance work, it provides them with an excellent learning experience of what theywould confront in an accounting firm and possibly the only experience similar to an internship if theyhappen to be an international student.An Experiential Approach to Accounting 101ABSEL 2020 ProgramPage 28
