Shidler College of Business Administration

Our accrediting body, the AACSB, when considering our assessment program, has praised our data collection and has provided feedback on developing substantive action plans, “closing the loop” and on College wide tracking of results. Our Faculty Assurance of Learning Committee is developing strategies to address each of these. It is also time to revisit our program assessment plans and we will begin with the BBA as it is our largest program.

In Fall 2014 and Spring 2015, I surveyed the reactions of N = 58 undergraduate students in three sections of a business course, who were invited to pilot-test a web-based, 3-D, interactive game. Entitled “Marketing Mayhem,” this UK-based game is designed to assess business students’ knowledge and application of ethical principles. I conducted descriptive analysis of the quantitative and qualitative data and found some mixed results on the suitability, usability and effectiveness of this 3-D game (as a tool for assessing of business ethics principles). Students suggested several improvements to the content and/or format of the game to make it more user-friendly and more tailored to US business ethics and related regulations. Implications for SLO assessment and curriculum development, as well as for business ethic game development were discussed.
