Management education has come a long way since Sir Isaac Pitman initiated the first correspondence course in the early 1840s. Today the demands from a globalized economy are causing a sea change in the way business education is being delivered. The traditional one-size-fits-all educational approach of the past is being replaced with a customized and flexible learning paradigm that focuses on student outcomes and performance. Management education collaboration networks can assist in this transformation. A primary function of a collaboration network is to provide the management education community with access to curriculum innovation, databases, cloud computing resources, mobile learning technologies and implementation strategies. The network design should be based on stakeholder attitudes, new learning technologies, globalization, changing demographics and sustainability. The purpose of this article is to highlight the results of a global survey on collaboration networks and to outline the role of cloud-based collaboration in the future of business education.

Research in the UK, Europe and the USA has shown different understandings of the concept of knowledge management and of the role of technology in implementation strategies. Theorists currently place knowledge management in its third phase where technological approaches have given way to strategies focused on human issues in the transfer of knowledge. This paper focuses on findings on attitudes to the use of technology in organisational strategies to manage knowledge disclosed in field research by survey of the current business understanding of the concept of knowledge management and of its uptake trends in the Australian corporate environment. This will be done by providing background to the study, by reference to results and discussion of further research possibilities.

Abstract Background Studies that examine the adoption of clinical decision support (CDS) by healthcare providers have generally lacked a theoretical underpinning. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model may provide such a theory-based explanation; however, it is unknown if the model can be applied to the CDS literature. Objective Our overall goal was to develop a taxonomy based on UTAUT constructs that could reliably characterize CDS interventions. Methods We used a two-step process: (1) identified randomized controlled trials meeting comparative effectiveness criteria, e.g., evaluating the impact of CDS interventions with and without specific features or implementation strategies; (2) iteratively developed and validated a taxonomy for characterizing differential CDS features or implementation strategies using three raters. Results Twenty-five studies with 48 comparison arms were identified. We applied three constructs from the UTAUT model and added motivational control to characterize CDS interventions. Inter-rater reliability was as follows for model constructs: performance expectancy (κ = 0.79), effort expectancy (κ = 0.85), social influence (κ = 0.71), and motivational control (κ = 0.87). Conclusion We found that constructs from the UTAUT model and motivational control can reliably characterize features and associated implementation strategies. Our next step is to examine the quantitative relationships between constructs and CDS adoption.

Abstract Background: Barcode medication administration (BCMA) has been widely implemented in the inpatient setting of hospitals throughout the United States, resulting in lower medication administration errors. Understanding nurses’ attitudes toward BCMA in the Emergency Department (ED) may assist administrators with creating implementation strategies that will improve medication administration process turnaround time and remove barriers to use ensuring increased compliance and improved patient safety. Methods: The aim of this descriptive research study was to identify Emergency Department nurses’ attitudes towards acceptance of this technology, based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Data collection was carried out using an online, cross-sectional survey of nurses (n=55) who were members of the National Emergency Nurses Association of Canada. Results: The results demonstrated that two-thirds of those surveyed had approximately one year of experience with using BCMA technology. More positive attitudes were found in the following domains: behavioral intent, anxiety, and self-efficacy. Neutral attitudes were perceived regarding facilitating conditions, social influence, and effort expectancy. The most negative attitudes were expressed regarding attitude toward technology and performance expectancy. Conclusions: The results of this study allow us to conclude that the ED nurse perceived BCMA as easy to master and use and not intimidating or anxiety producing; however, they do not perceive it as useful nor do they perceive it to improve their proficiency or productivity. It is recommended that future studies be conducted on larger samples and also on participants that have had more experience using this technology. Keywords: Barcode Medication Administration, Emergency Department, Medication Administration, Attitudes.

242 Background: Tobacco treatment is an important component of cancer care, and pragmatic strategies are needed. The University of California Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center (UCD CCC) was selected to join the National Cancer Institute Cancer Center Cessation Initiative (NCI C3I) to integrate tobacco treatment with cancer care. As a matrix cancer center, UCD had tobacco treatment workflows established in primary care, with Health Management Education group classes and a quitline order, but less so in cancer care. Methods: We use the RE-AIM framework for our study evaluation. During the two-year study period (1/2018-12/2019) patient data were reported in 6-month periods to NCI C3I from core Cancer Center clinics including medical, surgical, and radiation oncology. Three strategies were implemented serially and in convergence. Strategy #1 involved cancer provider and staff education and training, Strategy #2 initiated the Ask-Advise-Connect workflow with medical assistants assessing and referring within the clinic encounter, and Strategy #3 conducted Closing Care Gaps outreach to contact “unassisted” smokers outside of the clinic encounter. Stakeholder perspectives for implementation readiness across units were engaged at least bi-monthly by multidisciplinary members of the Cancer Committee, led by the physician-in-chief. Implementation strategies were developed in partnership with clinic management and Health Management Education staff with monthly rapid feedback reports for referral orders. Results: Our project Reach improved tobacco assessment from 83.6% to 96.4% and tobacco treatment program orders and outreach by 6-fold (from 40 to 254) over the four NCI C3I 6-month reporting periods. For tobacco treatment program Effectiveness, among 118 patients who engaged in treatment (January 2018-June 2019), past-week abstinence at 6 months was 22.9% (missing data assumed to be smoking) Adoption and Implementation of tobacco treatment program referrals were highest in medical (5-10 fold) and surgical oncology (3-fold) annual increases. In contrast, radiation oncology referrals remained low due to a different clinic workflow and electronic health record module. Booster trainings have helped to Maintain referrals in the clinic. Conclusions: A matrix cancer center can rapidly adopt and implement tobacco treatment strategies that are internal and external to the clinic visit, with the goal of offering tobacco treatment and maximizing reach to all cancer patients who smoke.

PurposeResearch on management education (ME) over the past 2 decades signals a growing level of concern in response to increasing societal demands for ethical, responsible and sustainable considerations in management decisions in light of the current economic situation. The purpose of this paper is to review extant literature on responsible management education (RME) over the past decade.Design/methodology/approachThe author carried out a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed publications, which were mapped and analysed according to the following six categories: (1) types of papers, (2) geographical context, (3) RME purpose, (4) strategies, (5) intended outcomes and (6) challenges. The analysis resulted in a descriptive overview of article content and synthesis of review data categorised by topical focus.FindingsAnalysis of the review sample reveals how scholarly interest in RME has accelerated over the last decade. This is accompanied by a growing institutionalisation and development of RME. The descriptive analysis indicates that the vast majority of publications focus on RME implementation strategies, mostly focussing on on-campus – curricular, pedagogical and operational – changes and the unique experiences of particular schools. Recent publications reveal interest in how RME can respond to triple bottom line (TBL) concerns that benefit the wider society and to sustainable development (SD) goals that target the local and global community. A budding interest is revealed in examining the perceptions of diverse stakeholder groups of sustainability requirements in RME curricula to create relevant and practical content.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the adoption and/or development of RME.
