Exploring the Efficacy of MO711: A Purposefully Translated Digital MBA Course

Abstract

This chapter examines a purposefully redesigned traditional MBA course into an online format, contrasting it with emergency remote teaching during the pandemic. Through a detailed case study, the authors illustrate how intentional design, robust instructional strategies, and learner engagement mechanisms contribute significantly to online learning efficacy. By analyzing student performance and reflective outcomes, the chapter argues for the strategic adoption of digital education as a transformative rather than temporary educational modality. Recommendations include structured integration of experiential learning, reflective practices, and alignment with employer expectations to ensure sustained quality in online MBA programs.
