O campo de estudos da Comunicação é conhecido pela sua interdisciplinaridade, o que permite analisar objetos relacionados a outras áreas do conhecimento por meio da perspectiva em que os diferentes tipos de mídia lhes apresentam. Utilizando palavras, imagens e sons os meios de comunicação colaboram para a produção dos significados de uso e apropriação de diferentes produtos e serviços disponíveis para o consumo. Por meio de um intercâmbio com o campo de estudos de consumo e tratando de um produto oriundo do campo da Educação, os cursos de MBA, este trabalho analisa as mensagens produzidas pelo Boa Chance, suplemento publicado pelo jornal O Globo. Para compor o referencial foram considerados teóricos do campo da Comunicação, Consumo, Educação e Representação Social. Além de oferecerem subsídios para refletir sobre o consumo desse tipo de produto, as idéias e conceitos apresentados também colaboram para compor as categorias elaboradas para a análise das matérias publicadas. Para aprofundar um pouco mais sobre os cursos de MBA foi traçado um histórico desse tipo de ensino, desde o seu surgimento nos Estados Unidos, passando pela sua ascensão a partir da década de 1940 até a sua chegada ao Brasil. A forma como os cursos adentraram a pauta dos cadernos de emprego, em especial, do Boa Chance, também é abordada. Entrevistas com repórteres e editores que trabalharam ou que ainda estão no caderno permitiram identificar o contexto em que as pautas relacionadas a esse tema se tornaram mais frequentes. A partir disso, foi possível compreender que o assunto começou a ganhar mais espaço na mesma medida que cresce a oferta de vagas pelas instituições, no começo dos anos 2000. Para entender de que maneira os meios de comunicação abordam para esse tipo de consumo e também quais são as representações que ele produz sobre os MBAs, foram analisadas 26 edições do caderno recolhidas entre 2009 e 2010. / Communications studying field is known by its interdisciplinarity, which allows analyzing objects related to other areas as they're presented by different kinds of media.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this exploratory meta-study was to establish a foundation for the implementation of Service-Learning as a pedagogy into MBA programmes in South Africa. Three major interrelated contexts underpinned the study; a) the business sector, with its deep need for appropriately skilled managers and leaders, b) the social sector within which is situated a considerable number of currently or potentially economically active community organisations, and c) higher education, particularly with reference to its legislated transformation imperative. Service-Learning as a pedagogy has never been implemented in MBA programmes in South Africa, yet the literature suggests that it is one of the most effective management development tools available to educators. The mixed methodological approach taken in this study was based on the published perceptual shift from that of analysis to one of synthesis. In this paradigm, the basic tenet was that of investigating several constructs from different perspectives (the meta-study format) with the intention of combining them into a new coherent framework to offer the field of management education. Within this framework, data were gathered from several relevant populations, including business leaders and managers, MBA students, Service-Learning practitioners and community organisations. Through triangulation and aggregation of findings from the different sources, it was established that MBA students acting in a consultant capacity experienced real workplace learning in an authentic context, where the outputs of the work that they conducted via their academic assignments were utilised productively by the community organisations with which they worked. They were able to address at least some pressing social needs whilst meeting their academic objectives, measured using Bloom’s taxonomy of cognitive outcomes. They also reported a high level of personal growth and increased awareness of the socio-economic fabric of the country. Although the findings from this research cannot necessarily be generalised to all MBA programmes in South Africa, they do suggest that Service-Learning has an important role to play in educating South African managers, whilst addressing social, economic and educational transformation needs. This research has established that MBA Service-Learning is a worthwhile pedagogy on which to conduct further research and implementation in South African business schools.

The purpose of this research is to identify the selection criteria used by the management professors when they interview the candidates for MBA entrance examination in Taiwan. Seven famous graduate schools of business management were chosen for this study. With Q-method and survey, this study ranks and classifies the selection criteria of each graduate school. The samples include professors of those graduate schools and students who have gone through the selection interview. By using factor analysis, the research found the different types of professors with different selection criteria. The finding can be very useful for the graduate schools to know what students their faculty really wants. In addition, it is also informational to those applicants who want to enter the MBA program through selection channel to choose an appropriate graduate school. The findings of this research indicated: 1.These seven graduate schools used different selection criteria. 2.Most of all professors agree that the analyzing ability and foreign language are the two most important criteria. 3.Comparing the ¡§my own view¡¨ and ¡§perception of colleagues¡¦ view¡¨, the research did find some significant differences. 4.Higher consensus exists among the professors at Cheng-chi, Yuan Ze and FuJen Catholic University. The professors of Sun Yat-sen University, Cheng-Kung University and Taiwan University were more diversified. 5.Attitude towards selection criteria is not the same among the professors from different countries where they were educated. 6.Five types of Professors can be distinguished is terms of the selection criteria used.

The overall objective was to understand the process of transfer of learning acquired in MBA programs to the workplace. The theoretical framework is grounded in the international literature and presents and analyzes the models that evaluated the transfer of learning in different types of educational activities, including the MBA itself. We also sought to understand the characteristics of the MBA as a program in management education. In this sense, it was presented a brief history of this program, contextualizing the model of MBA in Brazil and the main criticism it has received over the past few years. The research of descriptive character, was developed based on the assumptions of the basic or generic qualitative studies. This option was considered the most appropriate because it seeks to understand a phenomenon, from the perspective of the research participants, in this case, the MBA students. The interview was the main strategy used for data collection. Thirteen students and alumni of MBA with specialization from a higher education institution in the city of São Paulo were interviewed. The interviews were analyzed, allowing the generation of analytical codes hierarchically organized into categories, facilitating the analysis and interpretation of meanings. The main results reported in the research show that the student is the protagonist in the transfer of learning process from the MBA to the workplace. The factors related to the design of the course and the work environment were less significant. The results also revealed that the transfer of learning occurs in various disciplines throughout the course. Finally, it was found that the hard skills are easier to be transferred and generate faster results. / Esta pesquisa investigou o fenômeno da transferência da aprendizagem, a partir da seguinte questão orientadora: Como se dá o processo de transferência das aprendizagens obtidas nos programas de MBA para o trabalho, na visão de alunos e ex-alunos? O objetivo geral foi compreender o processo de transferência das aprendizagens adquiridas em programas de MBA para os locais de trabalho. O referencial teórico está embasado na literatura internacional e apresenta e analisa os modelos que avaliaram a transferência de aprendizagem em diferentes tipos de ações educacionais, incluindo o próprio MBA. Procurou-se também compreender as características do MBA como um programa de educação gerencial. Neste sentido, apresentou-se um breve histórico sobre esse programa, contextualizando o modelo de MBA no Brasil e as principais críticas que ele vem recebendo ao longo dos últimos anos. A pesquisa, de caráter descritivo, foi desenvolvida com base nas premissas dos estudos qualitativos básicos ou genéricos. Esta opção foi considerada a mais adequada, pois visa compreender um fenômeno, a partir da perspectiva dos participantes da pesquisa, no presente caso, os próprios alunos do MBA. Como estratégia de coleta de dados, foram realizadas treze entrevistas com alunos e ex-alunos de cursos de MBA com especialização de uma instituição de ensino superior na cidade de São Paulo. As entrevistas foram analisadas, possibilitando a geração de códigos analíticos organizados hierarquicamente em categorias, facilitando a análise e a interpretação dos significados. Os principais resultados revelados na pesquisa mostram que o aluno é o protagonista no processo de transferência das aprendizagens do MBA para os locais de trabalho. Os fatores relacionados ao desenho do curso e ao ambiente de trabalho se mostraram menos significativos. Os resultados revelaram ainda que a transferência das aprendizagens ocorre nas várias disciplinas ao longo do curso. Por fim, foi possível verificar que as habilidades do tipo hard skills são mais fáceis de serem transferidas e geram resultados mais rápidos.
