Participation

Poster

Besides the onsite meeting, this workshop also holds a poster session which allow for a larger number of authors to share their research. The poster session will provide an opportunity for researchers to present their work in a visual and interactive way, allowing for more engagement and discussion with other attendees. Authors of qualified papers will be invited to present their works with digital posters. We believe that this online poster session will still be a great platform for participants to share, discuss, and cooperate.

All accepted authors will receive an invitation email to present a poster at this workshop. Please note that all poster presenters must submit the poster before July 19, 2024.

  1. Poster presentations must be prepared using the template provided:
    *Poster layout template for poster presentation (download)

  4. Body parts, including "Abstract", "Introduction", "Methods", "Results", "Discussion" and "Conclusions".
  5. Presenters are suggested to set the font size properly and avoid placing anything at the margin part of the poster as it will be difficult to view.

Highlights:


Executive Education Programs are designed to enable leaders to acquire the knowledge and techniques required to address current organizational challenges in real time. It provides an environment for business participants to learn and apply business concepts (knowledge and skills gained) to their businesses as well as enable them to identify practical solutions to specific issues within their organizations. An example is the Senior Leader Apprenticeship Program, which is designed to be work-based, offers learners the opportunity to fit their academic study around their professional work and personal commitments as well as to advance their career aspirations.

The project, which has executive education and senior leader apprenticeship as the core principles:

  • Explored the benefits and logistics around delivering executive/ senior leader apprenticeship program through active collaboration with the relevant parties and engaging with applicable resources.
  • Organized targeted meetings (focus group sessions) with business executives/ leaders to identify their perceptions (including business needs) in relation to a Senior Leader Apprenticeship Program.
  • Undertook analyses of data/ information generated from the focus group sessions.
  • Translated insights from the analyses into developing a plan of actions required for the effective design & delivery of an open-cohort Senior Leader Apprenticeship Program.
