Author: D'Cruz, Joseph R. ; Soberman, David A.INSEAD Area: Marketing Series: Working Paper ; 2009/27/MKT Publisher: Fontainebleau : INSEAD, 2009.Language: EnglishDescription: 13 p.Type of document: INSEAD Working Paper Online Access: Click here Abstract: Many business schools are heavily dependent on revenues from executive education: they are feeling the impact of the current economic turmoil. Schools such as Wharton, INSEAD and Kellogg to name a few, have seen registrations for open enrolment programs plummet and their business for in-company programs shrink as clients cancel, postpone, reduce and in some cases bring management training in-house. Certainly, business schools can react to this challenge by reallocating resources to degree-based programmes (like the MBA) for which demand increases in a recession. Nevertheless, a fundamental question for business schools is How can one make executive education less cyclical and vulnerable to cuts in a downturn? The following article presents a series of strategies that business schools can adopt to stabilize executive education and make it less vulnerable to the substantial reductions in discretionary spending that occur in a recession.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
