  • Executive Management Team Demography and Minority Student Retention: Does Executive Team Diversity Influence the Retention of Minority Students?
    Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory and Practice, 2010
    Co-Authors: Mark Fincher, Stephen G. Katsinas, V. Barbara Bush
    Abstract:

    Many colleges and universities are expected to produce more graduates while responding to an increasing level of racial and ethnic diversity among students. While the importance of diversity within Executive Management leadership teams may be accepted among nonprofit higher education institutions, the connection between diversity among the leadership in higher education and the retention of minority students has not been empirically established. This study, focusing on Texas public colleges and universities, finds that: 1) a diverse Executive Management team makes a positive difference in minority student retention at community colleges and 4-year universities institutions; and 2) the impact of a diverse Executive Management team on retention is not limited to race and ethnicity, but instead includes other demographic aspects.

  • Executive Team Demography and Retention: The Relationship Between The Background of Decision-Makers and Success in Retaining Students
    Higher Education Policy, 2006
    Co-Authors: Mark Fincher, Stephen G. Katsinas
    Abstract:

    This article examines the demographic makeup of Texan university Executive Management groups in their relationship to institutional success as measured by student retention rates. Executive Management teams that are diverse in age, time served as an Executive, and the number of Executives on the team may be particularly advantageous in enhancing total retention rates. Teams that are diverse on a broad range of demographic characteristics are likely to produce improved strategic decisions that may lead to relatively better performance, measured by rises in student retention. It can therefore be suggested that the setting up of an optimal Executive team could lead to improved levels of retention. While this article does not make any indications as to what an optimal team might be or does prescribe a formula for producing one, it does indicate that one or more optimal Executive team profiles exist. In the current higher education climate, the demographic composition of Executive teams is a subject of critical importance to higher education researchers and leaders.

  • Marketing the Masters of Executive Management Program
    2007
    Co-Authors: Mark A. Barrera, Timothy W. Karriker
    Abstract:

    Abstract : The purpose of this MBA project was to review the current Masters of Executive Management education curriculum at NPS. An internal analysis of the current program was conducted to fully understand the strategic goals of the program and the existing curriculum. An environmental scan of current and potential military customers was conducted to assess requirements for junior Executive education and determine whether the MEM program corresponds with these requirements and, if not, what changes to curriculum should be considered. Information collected was then used to determine prospective customers while creating a detailed marketing strategy for the GSBPP. Once information was collected, it was possible to construct a marketing plan to increase the NPS brand awareness in hopes of attracting students. Marketing plan recommendations include: (1) Package its various products/programs and market under one primary GSBPP brand; (2) Abandon current traditional and passive marketing efforts for an active recruiting approach by utilizing relationship marketing strategies; (3) Develop alumni networks that provide marketing labor and tools to stimulate demand for the GSBPP.
