CHAPTER I

The Research Problem

Page 7: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

To what extent do the two selected women’s colleges in Metro Manila, particularly their business schools, employ innovations in their programs in gaining competitiveness?

Page 8: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES1. To identify

innovations practiced by each women’s college in order to gain competitive advantage in their business programs

The proponent of this research acting as coach of AC MSBMW studenits in the JFINEX competition last September 2010. The case study research design suggests

the use of “participant-observer” method as one of its data gathering methods.

Page 9: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES2. To develop, generate

and propose an empirically testable theory and propositions on innovation and competitiveness based on available literature and relevant data from the women's colleges, with their schools of business/commerce as cases

The proponent and his colleagues in the MSBMW office preparing for Day 1 of PAASCU visit (September 2008). The case study database includes investigation of archives (such as documentation in the form of photographs) as part of the data to be analyzed.

Page 10: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES3. To highlight the

best or emerging practices or salient features of each school of business

Empirically Testable Model or Framework in Innovationas a strategy for Competitiveness of Women's Colleges

***Intervening Variables are removed, as revised after the proposal defense last March 11, 2010

Page 13: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH HYPOTHESES• There is a need for women’s colleges to

innovate their business programs or course offerings through content, methodologies and materials development and other related areas to remain competitive in the industry given their business strategy.

Page 14: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH HYPOTHESES• Innovation is

needed by these women’s colleges’ business schools in order to compete in the field of business education.

Students of MSBMW in action

(Curricular and extra-curricular programs)

Page 15: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH HYPOTHESES• There is no difference between the

innovation employed by Assumption College and St. Scholastica’s College in the delivery of business courses/subjects as assumed by the proponent of this research.

Page 16: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY & RESEARCH VALUE

• For advocates of women empowerment

• For competency building to gain competitive advantage

• For academicians and school administrators

• For strategy formulation

• For future researchers

Page 17: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS• Limited to the Schools of

Business of the Two Women’s Colleges:

– Assumption College’s Milleret School of Business and Management for Women (MSBMW)

– St. Scholastica’s College’s School of Commerce

Page 18: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS• Case study research

methodology

• Theory building using case study research strategy (Eisenhardt, 1989 & Yin, 2003).– Qualitative data

analysis

Page 19: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

• WORD OF CAUTION or DISCLAIMER: What may be considered as innovative by W.C.s in this study may be deemed as ordinary practices by their university counterparts and/or other larger institutions of higher education endowed with larger networks of resources within their reach.

Page 20: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

SUMMARY OF RESEARCH DELIVERABLES

Page 21: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

CHAPTER II

Research Gaps from the Review of Related Literature and

Studies

Page 22: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

SYNTHESIS & RESEARCH GAPS

• Social changes in the Americas and Europe brought WCs to Philippine shores in the 1900s.– Historical perspective: Only single

women who desire to become teachers are allowed the privilege of higher education

– STIGMA: Teachers are typically unmarried women

• WCs started as schools for teachers.

Iskul Bukol's resident teacher, Miss Tapia, is an archetype of a teacher assumable to be a graduate of a woman's college. Iskul

Bukol is a situational comedy that ran from 1977 to 1988 in Philippine television.

Page 23: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

SYNTHESIS & RESEARCH GAPS

• Women’s colleges to make themselves more relevant started offering business courses.– Stitt-Gohdes (1998) teaching

methodologies– Stitt-Gohdes, Crews and McCannon (1999) logical situations, hands-on activities

– Lorange (2002) business education evolve from axiomatic to pioneering and value-creating

Page 24: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

SYNTHESIS & RESEARCH GAPSScrimshaw (2006) → WCs empower women than

their coed counterpartsLopez (2008) → Strategic Delivery of Women’s

Business Education Rose (2009) → Innovation is needed to enhance value

of students upon graduationBrown (2009) → WCs are learning institutions that are

open and empower womenBumatay (2009) → Management education should

shift from classical approaches to experiential methods

Page 25: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

SYNTHESIS & RESEARCH GAPS

• Minor Research Gap: Measurement of Innovation is unclear

• Identification of Major Research Gap– Are there studies on Educational Innovation? YES– Are there studies on Educational Institutions? YES– Are there studies on Business Education? YES– Are there scholarly articles on women’s studies? YES– Are there studies on Educational Innovation in Business

for Women? None so far.

Page 26: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

CHAPTER III

Methodology

Page 27: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH DESIGN• Inductive case study

research– in-depth investigation of a

single individual, group, or event to explore causation in order to identify underlying principles

• Qualitative data– Triangulation Method:

Archives, Interviews and Participant-Observer

Page 28: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH DESIGN• Case study (Yin, 2003 & Eisenhardt, 1989)

– Does not require behavioral control of events

– Focuses on contemporary events (innovations / best practices / salient features)

– Examination of a phenomenon in real-life setting; phenomenon and context are not clearly evident

Page 29: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH DESIGN• Common critique/misconception to

case studies (Yin, 2003):

– Provide little basis for scientific generalization

– ANSWER: They are only generalizable to theoretical propositions (or universes).

Page 30: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH DESIGN

• Descriptive Method or Descriptive/Narrative Case Study (Yin, 2003)– deemed appropriate due to

the fact that there are only two women's colleges whose schools of business/commerce are under study

Page 31: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

POPULATION & RESPONDENTS

• For the semi-structured interviews, respondents will be faculty members of the Schools of Business/Commerce of AC & SSC:– Full-time (40 hours a week)– Half-time (20 hours a week)– Part-time (3 to 15 hours a week) in AC; (3 to 9

hours) in SSC

Page 32: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

POPULATION & RESPONDENTS

• Semi-structured interviews will be audio/video recorded for transcription purposes with the aid of a Research Assistant. Semi-structured interviews with Prof.

Rubyrose Barrientos (Information & Communication Technology; Operations

Research) [July 10, 2010]

Page 33: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

POPULATION & RESPONDENTS• Thirteen (13) professors were

interviewed:

– Assumption College MSBMW• BARRIENTOS, Rubyrose• BALURAN, Fe (Chairperson,

Accountancy Program)• CORTES, Myrna• LOPEZ, Ma. Corazon (MSBMW

Dean)• ORJALO, Victoria (Former MSBMW

Dean)• SALITA, Gilda Socorro (Chairperson,

Entrepreneurship/Tourism/Marketing and HRDM )

• SALVANA, Ria Teodora

Semi-structured interview with Prof. Ria Salvana

(Business Communication) of AC [July 10, 2010]

Page 34: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

POPULATION & RESPONDENTS• Thirteen (13) professors were

interviewed:– St. Scholastica’s College School

of Commerce• CHING, Remedios (College Dean)• GUANZON, Gloria• MAURICIO, Delfin (Chairperson,

EFMD)• MENDOZA, Aldrin• MIRANDA, Joanne• NAYVE, Ruben, Jr., (Chairperson,

IBEAD) Semi-structured interview with Prof. Aldrin Mendoza of SSC's IBEAD Department. Prof. Mendoza is also connected with the

Corporate Communications Department of PAGCOR.

[July 24, 2010]

Page 35: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

SAMPLING DESIGN• Theoretical sampling (Eisenhardt, 1989)

– Random selection is neither necessary nor preferable in doing case studies

– Respondents are chosen purposively– Statistical tools (random sampling and

inference-making) are not applicable– BEST RESPONDENTS: Faculty members of

both schools

Page 36: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

MEASUREMENT AND INSTRUMENTATION

• Semi-structured interview questionnaire

• Use of multiple sources of data

• Creation of a case study “database”

• Maintenance of chain of evidence– Pictures, memoranda, letters, other archives

Page 37: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH PROCEDURES• Entering the “field” (Eisenhardt, 1989):

– Interviews with AC and SSC Business/Commerce faculty members

– Photographs and Audio/Video Recordings– Collection of exhibits as part of the archives– Field notes– Transcription of interviews

Page 38: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH PROCEDURES• Processing and analysis of data

– Transcription of data

– Matching of interview responses, archives and notes

– GENERAL ANALYTIC STRATEGY (Yin, 2003): Use of tables/matrices or “empty shells” to summarize qualitative data to reach theoretical saturation (Glaser, 1978)

Page 39: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH PROCEDURES• Processing and analysis of data

– GENERAL ANALYTIC STRATEGY: Use of tables “empty shells” to group responses among the two schools enables the proponent to perform within-case and cross-case analyses

Page 40: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH PROCEDURES• Processing and

analysis of data– No standard “cookbook”

procedure in analyzing qualitative data for case studies unlike statistical analysis for quantitative data

Page 41: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH PROCEDURES• Theoretical saturation

– Similar responses are then grouped together Shorter tables/content imply common and coherent responses among interviewees

– Glaser (1978) stated that when building theory, it is necessary to gather data until each category is “saturated”

• No new or relevant data emerge in the process

Page 42: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH PROCEDURES• To strengthen validity and to

prevent researcher’s bias (participant-observer method) or “to go native” (in social science research):

– Full-time faculty member in AC

– Chairperson, Corporate Business & International Business Programs

The researcher participating in a decision-making process in Assumption College

In-Service Training Program (May 2010)

Page 43: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RESEARCH PROCEDURES• To prevent researcher’s

bias (participant-observer method) and to strengthen internal & external validity:

– Lecturer / Part-time faculty of the IBEAD Department (2010-present)

– Former Lecturer of the EFMD Department (2005)

The researcher teaching Principles of Economics with Taxation & Agrarian Reform to a Third Year

class of IT students in SSC (July 2010)

Page 44: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

ANALYSIS OF DATA• Multiple Sources of Evidence

– Archives, Interviews and Field Observations (triangulation) for matching purposes

• Within-case analysis– Grouping of similar responses from interviewees

coming from the same school; use of “empty shells” (Yin, 2003) or 2x2 matrices (Eisenhardt, 1989)

• Cross-case analysis– Pinpointing similarities and differences of the

responses and archives gathered

Page 45: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

ANALYSIS OF DATA (Yin, 2003)• Construct validity: Multiple sources of evidence

• Internal validity: Pattern matching, linking of interviews to existing/gathered evidence → explanations

• External validity: Establishing the degree or field of generalizability: Business schools of WCs

• Reliability: Develop case study database

Page 46: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

CHAPTER IV

Summary of Results

Page 48: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

PRODUCING A CASE STUDY DATABASE

• CAVEATS: – Yields a mass of qualitative

documents; Intensive documentation and transcription

– Time-consuming• Proposal Writing (September

2009 – January 2010)• Revisions to Proposal (April-May

2010)• Fund-raising (January 2010-May

2010)• Parallel data-gathering (June-

August 2010)• Transcription and analysis

(August -September 2010)

Page 49: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

INNOVATIVE FEATURES IN BUSINESS EDUCATION

• Within-case Analysis for AC– As seen and noted from various data

sources:• Strong grounding in Theology for Business

Students (12 to 21 units of Theo) • Webbing• TFCD format in syllabi-making (until 2009)• Whole Brain Thinking (WBT) and Self-

Social Mastery (SSM) as foundation courses for First Year student

Page 50: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

INNOVATIVE FEATURES IN BUSINESS EDUCATION

• Within-case Analysis for AC: – Industry practitioners are seen as partners in

education– Use of case analysis in imparting knowledge in

business courses (verified by RRL)– “Asian perspective” in business and

management is being brought to the classroom– Mentoring of achievers and underachievers

Page 51: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

INNOVATIVE FEATURES IN BUSINESS EDUCATION

• Within case analysis (for SSC):

– Music and Arts education for ALL business students

– Synthesis: a one (1) unit course required for all graduating students; week-long activity that uses action-based, problem-based learning

• Use of problem trigger– i.e. social transformation and social issues

Page 52: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

INNOVATIVE FEATURES IN BUSINESS EDUCATION

• Within case analysis (for SSC):– Use of concept maps in their syllabi to link key

ideas; lifelong learning or “metacognition” or learning about learning

– Women's issues are encouraged in integrating lessons

– Grounding on Theology (12 units); Ora et Labora (Prayer and Work)

• Social Responsibility and Ethics in Business Education

Page 53: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

INNOVATIVE FEATURES IN BUSINESS EDUCATION

• Within case analysis (for SSC):

– The School of Commerce's I-BEAD program is the only existing program in the Philippines that combines International Business (IB), Economics and Diplomacy courses

– EFMD program is the only existing program that combines both entrepreneurship and franchise management.

Page 54: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

INNOVATIVE FEATURES IN BUSINESS EDUCATION

• Cross-case analysis– Unique to AC: HRMD & Tourism Mgt.– Unique to SSC: EFMD, I-BEAD, Business

Information & IT, Financial Management– Common degree offerings in both schools are

• Marketing Management• Corporate Business and/or Management

Page 55: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

INNOVATIVE FEATURES IN BUSINESS EDUCATION

• Cross-case analysis– In both schools concerned:

• Both schools claim that there are linkages with industry partners and practitioners

• Part-time faculty members are typically industry practitioners; partners in education

• Strong grounding on theology

Page 56: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

INNOVATIVE FEATURES IN BUSINESS EDUCATION

• Cross-case analysis– In both schools concerned:

• Training programs for faculty and staff (F&S Development)

• Manageable class size → AC and SSC face almost similar conditions in terms of enrollment (AC has 900+; SSC has 1000+)

– Degree offerings are also found in the universities → girls tend to go where the boys are

– Thus, professors / administrators tend to be “nurturing” to address needs of students

Page 57: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

INNOVATIVE FEATURES IN BUSINESS EDUCATION

• Cross-case analysis– In both schools concerned:

• In terms of student and faculty research, “baby steps” are undertaken to establish and improve a strong research culture.

– AC: Action research such as feasibility studies as theses; faculty members are encouraged to write and publish in the in-house journal

– SSC: Theses mentors are required to attend a thesis protocol seminar.

• Both schools have in-house journal publications.

Page 58: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

CHAPTER V

Conclusions & Recommendations

Page 59: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

CONCLUSIONS• Curriculum

Investigation and Teaching Methodologies – For AC: Webbing, Self and

Social Mastery (SSM) and Whole Brain Thinking (WBT)

– For SSC: Problem-based learning (PBL), Music and Arts Education for ALL students (not just Business)

– For both schools: Strong grounding on Theology: 12 to 21 units

FOREX101 : A webbing of concepts inInternational Finance and Selected Topics in International Business. Event was organized by the graduating class of AC’s IBE students Batch 2010. The

proponent served as the professor in both subjects.

Music and Arts are taught to all students in St.

Scholastica’s College not only to their students in the School

of Commerce

Page 60: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

CONCLUSIONS• TEACHING

METHODOLOGIES.The use of information and communication technology (ICT) is considered to be an innovation by the respondents of the study. (i.e. e-modules in coordination with CWC).

The proponent of this research (center) attempts to learn new technologies by uploading his department’s

activities to the online school calendar online.

(May 2010)Faculty & Staff In-Service Program held every last week of May.

Page 61: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

CONCLUSIONS• LINKAGES

– Knowledge transfer continuum between academe and industry partners

– Industry practitioners are part of the faculty lineup

(i.e. Dr. Eduardo Morato, Jr. of AIM, Prof. Neil Angelo Halcon of BSP, Prof. Aldrin Mendoza of PAGCOR, etc)

Page 62: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

CONCLUSIONS

RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS EDUCATION

Another form of innovation that can be incorporated in business education in women's colleges is the integration of social responsibility discussed in the light of the philosophy of their respective foundress—St. Scholastica

and St. Marie Eugenie de Brou: Strong grounding on Theology.

CONCLUSIONS• SERVICE-ORIENTED

ADMINISTRATION: – Small student population size:

– Class size: 15 to 35 students (makes webbing and interaction with others possible and practical)

– Coordinating functions performed by faculty: “nurturing”.

Proposition No. 1: Innovations in the curriculum are made by the administrators of the schools as they take into account the changing profiles of their students.

Proposition No. 2: Academic linkages are established, strengthened and nurtured when industry practitioners become part of the faculty line-up of a business school.

Page 67: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

THEORETICAL PROPOSITIONS

Proposition No. 3: Responsible business is emphasized in the curriculum and activities of the business schools of the women's colleges, given their respective Vision-Mission statements.

Proposition No. 4: Women's colleges, specifically their schools of business/commerce, adopt to changing technology to make business education more timely and relevant to the needs of the students and the industry.

COMPARISON TO EXTANT LITERATURE

Methodology -Sabio (2009): Technology and social learning

styles for women learning business-Business School Admission (2009) identifies

experiential learning as a common methodology of teaching business

Page 70: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

COMPARISON TO EXTANT LITERATURE

Responsible Business-CSR is a mandated course requirement by CHED

Memo #39 s. 2006 in Business programs.

-It is organic for Catholic schools to integrate concepts of Responsible Business in Theology classes with the help of faculty and lay partners. Community dimension is emphasized (Halcon, 2009)...as well as human dignity and rights (Stabile, 2005).

Page 71: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

COMPARISON TO EXTANT LITERATURE

Service-oriented management-Brown (2009) states that WCs are institutions that

empower women-Sabio (2009) encourages faculty members to embrace

students' different learning styles; know their students better

-Diamond (2009) states that WCs are institutions that encourage women to be active agents in the world despite the threat of coeducational institutions.

Page 72: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

COMPARISON TO EXTANT LITERATURE

Academic Linkages-Lopez (2008) states that industry networking makes

business education more relevant to the needs of the outside world. Ties should be nurtured and preserved with the practitioners.

Page 73: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RECOMMENDATIONS• INCLUDE METRICS:

Empirically test the model with statistics; propose standard rubrics

• Replicating the same data gathering procedure, inclusion of the Schools of Business/Commerce of other Women’s Colleges: – Miriam College, – College of the Holy Spirit

Page 74: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RECOMMENDATIONS• Innovations may be undertaken not only by

women’s colleges but also by their coed counterparts. Replicating the same data gathering procedure involving more schools will enable the researcher to:

– Investigate and test any significant differences

– Increase the “generalizability” and robustness of the model

Page 75: Halcon dissertation   final defense powerpoint 11-08-10

RECOMMENDATIONS• Further explore studies that will investigate whether

business education should be made gender-sensitive or not.

– Women's way of thinking vs. Business is for everyone

• Women’s education (in general) in developing countries paves the way for national progress [delayed marriage, less children, entrepreneurial ventures, economic growth, better health] (Todaro & Smith, 2006); (USAID, 2005).
