Personal competencies have been shown to be increasingly reliable predictors of successful project managers. This research studies whether executive coaching is effective in strengthening personal competencies in the project management field. An experiment with 30 project managers and 30 observers has been conducted to determine, by means of a quantitative and qualitative approach, the impact of coaching on different competencies based on the Project Manager Competency Development Framework – Third Edition (Project Management Institute, 2017a). The conclusions reveal interesting insights, such as the finding that executive coaching has the greatest impact on behaviors related to leading, managing, and finding strategies for coping with challenging situations.

Purpose This paper aims to describe the impact of personalized eLearning (PeL) using small videos and simulations. It sets out the results of a research project carried out across four Indian organizations. Design/methodology/approach This is an empirical study. The respondents completed product training using small videos and simulations as training content. The courses were assigned to learners using PeL concept. An online survey was conducted to capture feedback on learning content and process, followed by structural equation modeling (SEM) to explain the acceptance. Findings The research concluded that flexibility and engagement play an important role in competency development using eLearning. It also revealed the positive role of small videos, simulations, and PeL to improve product knowledge. The research findings are consistent with earlier studies. Research limitations/implications The pilot study was a part of a thesis topic for a doctoral program. The study is limited to four domains, namely, aerospace engineering, biological science, thermodynamics, and nuclear research. More studies are required to generalize results. Data were collected through self-responses and focus group discussion. Hence, the “perception” of respondents has some influence on the overall outcome. Practical implications The foundation’s result will help learning & development (L&D) professionals and courseware designers to identify important factors for small video and simulation-based learning in an Indian context. The recommendations will help practitioners design effective PeL content for product training. Originality/value This research increases the knowledge base related to competency development using eLearning for product training in an Indian context.

Purpose This paper aims to evaluate the impact of Federal University of Bahia’s Business Administration graduate programs on graduates’ competency, career and income development. Design/methodology/approach It is a descriptive study, for which a survey was applied and the data were analyzed using quantitative techniques (descriptive analysis, factorial analysis, t-test, Mann–Whitney test and regression analysis). Data collection was conducted through an electronic questionnaire sent to the graduates in the period between 1998 and 2012. Findings The results show that in general, the research participants perceive competency, career and income development after the course. At the same time, a comparison between the graduates of academic and professional axes (courses) was carried out, and in general, there is a certain similarity between perceptions. Originality/value This research contributes to the theoretical field on evaluation of graduates, both from a methodological point of view, because of conducted statistical analysis that is complementary to other methods used, and from a practical point of view, as it offers redesign and improvement elements to the program’s curricula and teaching-learning methodologies so that it can maximize competency development, career and income of graduates.

Pepper is one of the spice crops that contribute to improving the Indonesian economy. Pepper cultivation is carried out on a small scale to a large scale. Pepper propagation by cutting is considered quite effective and efficient. Politeknik Negeri Lampung has been develop the Pepper Nursery Unit since 2007. This unit runs a business in the production of climbing pepper seedling, shrub pepper seedling, and pepper nursery training. The aim of this program is to support the mission of Politeknik Negeri Lampung in preparing itself to face college campus autonomy through the acquisition of revenue from established business units, accelerating the process of developing an entrepreneurial cultural system in the campus environment, providing competency development opportunities for staff and students, and increasing the role of the Politeknik Negeri Lampung for the community, especially in agriculture. The impact of this program is the availability of hight quality pepper seedling, increasing income generating Politeknik Negeri Lampung, establishment of the Pepper Nursery Unit and training service, improving the skills of Politeknik Negeri Lampung students in pepper nursery, developing entrepreneurial potential for students and staff, as well as increasing the role of Lampung State Polytechnic in community service activities.Keywords—Campus entrepreuneurship, estate crop, nursery business.
