| dc.description.abstract | The objective of the Thesis was to show how the Executive Master of Business
Administration program (E-MBA) has affected the self-development of the
former students, the managers. The follow-up with these participants of the EMBA
was conducted through personal interviews. The study was qualitative in
nature but included quantitative features. The E-MBA education program at
Gothenburg University was used as a case.
The purpose was to find out and describe managers’ experiences of the benefits
of the education for their self-development. Answers for the following research
questions were found: How does the E-MBA education influence the selfdevelopment
of a manager? How do the selected themes explain the selfdevelopment?
How does gender influence self-development through these
themes? Were the aims and goals of the E-MBA program achieved according
to the participants’ (managers’) experiences?
Theoretical construction consists of the theories of management education, selfdevelopment
and gender issues.
The results show that there has been progress in self-development of the
managers as a result of the E-MBA studies. The selected themes truly described
this development. The gender issue had a considerable impact on the depth of
the self-development since females reflected more on the education than males. | swe |
