Item type:Publication, Academic performance of micro-entrepreneurs in business training programs: evidence from the application of an i4.0 educational system during the COVID-19 pandemic(Belgrade University, 2021-01-01)There is limited information on the academic performance obtained by teaching through an i4.0 educational system. Therefore, this article aims to close the gap by presenting the existing literature and the quantitative results obtained from the evaluations and surveys made to micro-entrepreneurs with little knowledge of digital technologies, and in many cases with different levels of education, who have been trained during the COVID-19 pandemic, between August and December 2020. The business training program used an i4.0 educational system based on IoT, the cloud, social networks and Web services. The results showed that the participants achieved a satisfactory academic performance and met the objectives of the training program in business-related topics. Likewise, the results established that the academic performance of the student in a business training program through an i4.0 system is not directly related to the student's previous educational level. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Organisational citizenship behaviour of MBA students: the role of mindfulness and resilience(Elsevier, 2021-11-01)This research examines the relation between mindfulness and Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) of future business leaders, viz., MBA students through the lens of resilience. We also evaluate the impact of mindfulness on their academic performance in their business schools which is an indicator of future business success. The study found that mindfulness is a significant predictor of OCB as also of grades achieved by the students in the MBA programme. Further, we find evidence for the partial mediation model. We find that one third of the effect comes from higher resilience while the remaining two thirds comes directly from mindfulness. In case of the grades obtained by the MBA students, 37.5 per cent of increase comes through resilience whereas the rest comes from mindfulness directly. We find that mindfulness fulfils this objective of the students in addition to broader social objective of enhancing their OCB. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Effectiveness of mindfulness in business education: evidence from a controlled experiment(Elsevier, 2021-07-01)Mindfulness has evolved into a four billion dollar industry and has inevitably attracted attention of businesses and business schools. Scholars in the fields of business tend to agree that psychological and pedagogic assertions in the field of mindfulness can be grounded within the context of cutting-edge theories and findings within Organisation Science and Education Science. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the impact of mindfulness on learning of business analysis and decision making which is a staple in MBA programmes of business schools across the world. Business schools use case study method for teaching business analysis and decision making which engages the students in real-world experiences in a controlled manner and according to Experiential Learning theory increases self-efficacy. In a randomised controlled experiment, 293 MBA students of four business schools participated. The intervention group received a standardised mindfulness training of 20 weeks as a consequence of which their mindfulness score on Mindful Attention Awareness Scale increased significantly while the stress level declined. The study found that increase in mindfulness is a highly significant predictor of increase in the marks obtained by the students in business case study tests and that stress mediates between mindfulness and the marks obtained. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Social sustainability in business education(Springer, 2024-03-13)In the introduction, we frame the importance of social sustainability for business and broader society, and explain why business education has substantial power to foster it, making a significant contribution to the global collective effort aimed at achieving economic, social, and environmental sustainability. To this end, we elaborate on the concept of social sustainability, clarify how it connects to the environmental and economic dimensions of sustainability, and explain which of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasize issues related to social sustainability. Additionally, we summarize teaching innovations documented from every continent in the world that are featured in this handbook. The richness of the voices and perspectives featured, as well as their cross-disciplinarity, are at the heart of the ethos of this handbook, and we elucidate how and why higher education institutions, managers of business programs, educators, and researchers would benefit from the featured contributions. Finally, we outline some tips on how to use the handbook effectively when researching social sustainability and when implanting social-sustainability-focused SDGs in business programs, courses, and/or lesson plans in different parts of the world, considering the contextual needs of the learner, the business education provider, and the educator. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Conclusions: Business education that makes an impact on social sustainability within and beyond the classroom(Springer, 2024-03-13)Through a review of the best practices shared in this handbook, this chapter examines how higher education institutions (HEIs) can play a pivotal role in nurturing a holistic understanding of complex social issues within the context of business and create a positive impact on various stakeholder groups, such as learners, various HEIs, and the wider business and societal community. In this chapter, we showcase that current research on business education and best practices, addressing social sustainability, has more elaborately covered education that creates an impact on learners within business studies. While this stream of research and educational practice should be further explored and deepened, it is also essential to explore insights on how to transfer best practices through teaching innovations fostering social sustainability across the HEI, and how to design educational experiences that create an immediate positive impact on wider communities, locally and globally. This chapter underscores the importance of ongoing research, experimentation, and the sharing of best practices for promoting innovative teaching methods that enhance social sustainability and drive paradigm change through impacts on all stakeholder groups. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Transformative economies and complex Thinking: Enhancing sustainability competencies in business education(Elsevier BV, 2025-12-01)This study presents a pedagogical innovation that integrates agile methodologies, transformative economies, and complex thinking to enhance sustainability competencies in graduate business education. Using a multiple case study design, we examined the experiences of 58 Master of Business Administration students enrolled in a course on disruptive innovation and new business models at a business school in Peru. Students applied the Scrum framework and principles from circular, green, and solidarity economies to develop sustainability-focused projects. Quantitative results from a validated instrument showed significant gains in scientific, critical, and innovative thinking. Qualitative analysis of student reflections and project artifacts confirmed increased awareness of systemic challenges and responsible decision-making. The findings demonstrate how agile, interdisciplinary, and action-oriented pedagogies can foster the competencies needed to address complex sustainability issues. This study contributes to responsible management education by offering an empirically grounded and context-sensitive model that prepares students to lead sustainable innovation in diverse business environments.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, One size does not fit all: customizing teaching and learning strategies with Generative AI(Frontiers Media, 2026-01-01)Introduction Higher education institutions implementing Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) often assume uniform student adoption; however, evidence shows substantial variation in how learners engage with AI technologies. To address this heterogeneity, this study develops and validates a student typology framework integrating Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), moving beyond generic implementation toward targeted educational interventions in business education. Methods Using a hybrid theoretical–empirical approach, we analyzed data from 252 MBA students. The integrated TPACK–UTAUT framework was applied to identify distinct patterns of GenAI engagement and adoption, enabling the empirical derivation and validation of stable student profiles. Results Three profiles emerged: Explorers (11%), younger students who actively experiment with GenAI despite limited formal training; Moderates (68%), systematic learners who favor structured approaches; and Skeptics (21%), experienced professionals who require clear educational value prior to adoption. Significant differences were observed across performance expectancy ( p < 0.001), age ( p < 0.001), and TPACK integration ( p < 0.001), with strong theoretical alignment (Cramer's V = 0.276, p < 0.001). Discussion Rather than treating students as a homogeneous group, we propose a differentiated instructional framework comprising project-based exploration for Explorers, scaffolded training sequences for Moderates, and evidence-based case studies for Skeptics. This framework addresses the practical challenge of supporting diverse learners in GenAI-enabled business education. The typology provides a practical segmentation tool for institutional decision-making, including resource allocation and faculty development. By leveraging learning analytics, institutions may approximate student profiles to inform differentiated support strategies. The study advances theoretical understanding of GenAI adoption heterogeneity while offering a practical framework for designing differentiated educational interventions. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, GenAI-supported portfolio assessment for complex thinking: a GPT-based innovation in business education(Frontiers Media, 2026-01-01)This study examines the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into rubric-based qualitative assessment to strengthen authentic evaluation and complex thinking competencies in business education. Conducted at a graduate business school in Peru with 120 student portfolios, the research adopted a qualitative exploratory-documentary approach, complemented by a correlational analysis between human and AI evaluations to enhance the interpretive validity of the findings. A pilot subsample ( n = 12) was used for the correlational analysis comparing human and AI-assisted assessments, while descriptive analyses of complex thinking levels were conducted on the full sample ( n = 120) using the AI agent. The study employed the GPT-eComplex Assistant, a GenAI-based evaluator developed from ChatGPT and configured with the eComplex rubric, to identify recurring patterns, strengths, and areas for improvement without replacing human pedagogical judgment. The findings revealed that: (a) the GPT-eComplex Assistant closely mirrored human evaluators' judgments, reinforcing consistency, traceability, and transparency, although still requiring teacher calibration; (b) the digital portfolio served as an authentic learning artifact to capture systemic and critical thinking, while showing limitations in the scientific dimension; (c) the use of GenAI for assessment in higher education remains incipient and under-researched, underscoring the need for empirical evidence and ethical guidelines; and (d) the responsible integration of GenAI demands active teacher mediation, ethical awareness, and institutional transparency, ensuring that technology complements rather than replaces pedagogical judgment. This study contributes a pedagogical strategy that combines formative portfolio assessment, AI-supported co-evaluation, and the AI-PROMPT Framework, offering a replicable model for embedding GenAI into authentic, reflective, and ethically grounded assessment practices in higher education. The results represent an innovative contribution by positioning GPT as a complementary tool in authentic assessment, reinforcing the central role of human judgment and opening new perspectives for AI-supported evaluation in the Ibero-American and beyond.
