Paul Kotz, Ph.D., a core professor in the Ed.D. in Leadership at Saint Mary’s, presented at the Marketing Management Association Conference in San Antonio last month.
Kotz presented his recent research “Reflection on the Pandemic and COVID-19: Phenomenological Study of MBA Students and Their Experience.”
As noted in the title, the research focused on the experience of remote MBA students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kotz’s hope is that the study can be used to make recommendations for MBA and other business-related programs to meet the needs of future online, blended, and remote students.
Kotz says, “The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is undeniable. The sociocultural changes are so profound that the virus created a ‘new normal.’ This paper underscores this and its impact on graduate students. It is not an attempt to profoundly change our structures of education delivery, but to understand what students value and where they are headed in future offerings for MBA students.”
Along with presenting at the Marketing Management Association Conference, the research was accepted for publication in the journal Proceedings.
