Measuring Competencies Developed within an MBA Capstone Course and Testing for Group Differences in Perceived Competencies for Reporting Career Advancement Behaviors
Blau, Gary; Hill, T.L.; Nash, David; Naumoff, Nicole
Journal of Education for Business, v98 n6 p295-304 2023
Competency development is important in any MBA program, perhaps the most in the capstone course. Aggregating replies from 167 MBA graduates who completed a client-oriented, team project-based MBA capstone course within a nine-year study period, two new reliable and distinct scales reflecting career competencies learned were developed, Business Project Competency (6 items) and Opportunity Discovery Competency (8 items). MBA graduates who reported their capstone experience had helped with four career advancing behaviors, i.e., in a job interview; to move to a new position or get a raise; change of careers; or expanding their professional network, had higher perceptions on both scales, versus MBA graduates not reporting these career advancing behaviors.
