PILOT STUDY: ADMINISTRATIVE AND RESEARCH LEARNING IN ORGANIZATIONAL INTRAPRENEURSHIP

Abstract

Professional training in management can be examined from two perspectives: what is proposed and carried out in educational institutions, and what the productive sector requires. Therefore, one of the challenges for educational institutions is to evaluate the relevance of learning outcomes. This study focuses on assessing the learning outcomes related to administrative training and formative research in management professionals, based on employers’ perceptions, in order to determine their pertinence vis-à-vis organizational intrapreneurship needs.
This quantitative study yielded numerical results regarding the level of relevance of management graduates’ professional training. Two key variables were examined: research and administration. The process began with faculty in each disciplinary area recognizing and formulating learning outcomes. A Likert-type instrument was then designed and administered to 385 supervisors who employ graduate students from a private university in Bogotá. Overall, the productive sector rated the relevance of the learning outcomes as high, reaching 78.2%.
