Educational escape rooms are beneficial for student learning as it relates to critical thinking, decision making under time constraints and practical exploration of real-life work scenarios. This type of learning experience is beneficial across many disciplines with emphasis for healthcare management due to the dynamic nature and common pressures of professional healthcare. The following paper contributes to existing literature by presenting an educational escape room designed as a pedagogical innovation for teaching healthcare management. Future research and future assessment directives are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The growth of non-profit organizations has led to a proliferation of non-profit management education (NME) courses across different curricula. We use survey data from a two-semester NME course with a substantive board service requirement to investigate what affects students' intent to recommend an NME course to other MBA students. Drawing 65 responses from predominantly MBA students who had completed the course between 2011 and 2018, we found that course concept understanding and skill transfer affected students' intent to recommend. Implications for practice are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Due to COVID-19, there was a sudden shift from offline campus learning to emergency remote learning. Consequently, there is little understanding of students' preferences, perceptions, and attitudes regarding online education. This research paper aims to bridge this gap through the study conducted over 3 months in three stages for business management students. Our study focuses on learning preferences, barriers, benefits, and opportunities in online learning during pandemic times. Our research has significant managerial implications. Our study concludes that making the online content more interactive, project-based, and less dependent on the live classes (by providing prerecorded lessons and notes) with clear communication of learning outcomes will benefit the students.

Various curricula and educational materials for responsible management education (RME) have been developed by business schools from different parts of the world for sustainable development. There is, however, limited research on the effectiveness of these courses. By conducting surveys before and after the semester among business students from two RME courses, this study investigated the impacts on students' awareness of and attitudes toward ethical and sustainable issues in business practices. Findings show that students have enriched their understanding of the issues, have a positive attitude toward RME, but need a stronger driver of behavioral change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Through a conceptual analysis, this article elaborates the role the hidden curriculum in business schools in fragile states might play in initiating the implementation of responsible management education (RME). I start by elaborating the categories included within the hidden curriculum in business schools and then discuss the challenges of implementing RME. Moving forward by focusing on the theory of education and institutional theory, the author identifies that poor governance practices, the absence of democratic values and outdated formal curriculum, on the one hand, and the permanent accreditation from local authorities, on the other, challenge any attempt to implement responsible management education in fragile states.

This paper provides a novel approach to management education (online classes) design by using a combined approach of clustering (based on student engagement level in online mode) and conjoint analysis to design relevant online classes for different segments of management students. We base our study on the responses received from 280 business management students in a University in the eastern part of India. The findings bring those attributes to the light which are most important to different segments of management students based on the level of their engagement in online classes. This will help course instructors in management education to design better online classes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
