Since their first emergence in the 2010s, Indonesian corporate universities have shown that they are more than just dressed-up learning centers operating under a new name. As prominent organizations in Indonesia start to build their own learning initiatives adopting the model of the corporate university, success stories of the new approach radiate. Bringing an example of a developing country of Indonesia, this chapter attempts to discuss the trends, challenges, and practices of corporate university. This chapter also examines best practices from Indonesian corporate universities and how they differ from the conventional university and their learning techniques differ from traditional learning methods.

Effective Case

This study finds that the case method pedagogy, originally designed for use with graduate students, can also be effective in large, undergraduate business classes. While most of the case method research has historically focused on the graduate level, the method has now become popular for undergraduate teaching. There is a growing need for large class pedagogy and best practices due to the fast growing enrolment in North American business schools, and this study presents a preliminary opinion on how the case method could be adapted to meet the needs of large and diverse classes. The study reviews the challenges of teaching cases, and the challenges of using active learning techniques in large class teaching. The study presents a definition for “large” and “very large” classes in the context of case teaching, and suggests several practices from case-teaching instructors that can be used to teach the method effectively in these environments.

Facebook Pages

Social media networking websites have become platforms where users can not only share their photos, moments of happiness, success stories and best practices, but can also voice their criticism, discontent and negative emotions. It is interesting to follow how something that starts as a mere disagreement or conflict over clashing interests or values can develop into a hateful exchange on Facebook that targets social media users based on their gender, religious belonging, ethnicity, sexual orientation, political convictions etc. The present research explores how hateful posts and comments can start among Facebook users, and studies the language means employed in their design. The factual material was retrieved from more than ten open Facebook pages managed by popular Armenian figures, such as media experts, journalists, politicians and bloggers, in the period 2018–2020. The analysis of hate speech samples extracted from these sources shows that hate speech can find its explicit and implicit reflection in the online communication of Armenian Facebook users, and can be characterised by contextual markers such as invisibility, incitement to violence, invectiveness and immediacy. The language analysis of the posts and comments comprising hate speech has helped to identify language features of hateful comments including informal tone, use of passive voice, abusive and derogatory words, rhetorical or indirectly formed questions, generalisations and labelling.

This chapter discusses the role of corporate universities in the field of higher education and the impact of the same on conventional or traditional universities and their corresponding business schools. This chapter also proposes some strategic actions for the traditional universities to pursue in order to maintain competitive advantage over the emerging corporate universities. Some of these strategic actions include promoting and developing strong long-term and multipurpose strategic alliances with the industry, government institutions, and community development groups. Collaborative strategies are better than competitive behavior in terms of long-term benefits and costs associated with each of these strategies. Moreover, being in the forefront of learning innovation and knowledge management combined with the provision of high quality education and trainings through innovative, diverse, and flexible academic and training programs will help the traditional universities to remain the main supplier of knowledge in times to come.

Future Learning

In today’s corporate surroundings, business organizations are facing increasingly complex and volatile circumstances, characterized by rapid change. More and more, knowledge is critical for individual success in our information society. Consequently, processes related to its acquisition and management tend to have great value to specialists in the field of learning and training. Learning from knowledge and experience accumulated in the past contributes to improvements in performing business practices and processes and to the creation of knowledge assets implicitly stored in its results. As ongoing learning and sharing of knowledge lead to innovation (Law & Ngai, 2008), organizational members should have a shared vision to guide them in a common direction, generating tension that leads to learning (Kulkarni & Freeze, 2006). Thus, corporate university (CU) plays an important role as a source for business (Crocetti, 2002). It is a centralized learning utility that manages resources to support a strategic approach to organizational education (Gregg, 2005). This educational model provides a management structure to develop and implement employee learning opportunities aligned with the organization’s future learning vision (Gould, 2005).

Tourism is a major economic pillar for many countries; it enables them to increase gross domestic product, improves the population lifestyle, and preserves natural, cultural, and religious tourism assets. Tourism appears as a magic tool that could change the future of a developing country. However, tourism requires qualified human resources who can deliver high-quality service. Tour guides assume a great responsibility as they communicate with tourists during their sojourn. Their mission is even more critical if they have to accompany tourists to sacred tourist destinations where tourists are engaged in religious activities. The best practices of guides embedded with tourist behaviors are expected to enhance a peaceful world and provide a good touristic experience.
