It then discusses some issues in Philippine education like low student performance, poor facilities, and teacher competence. The document suggests that current teaching focuses too much on rote memorization and getting good grades rather than understanding. It advocates for instructional leadership to intensify standards-based assessment and teaching to develop students' skills and prepare them better for a globalized world.
Our proposed video aims to show parents how their behaviors influence their children through imitation, using examples of both positive and negative influence. The video begins by depicting a father engaging in negative behaviors like smoking and violence, then realizes he could send his child down the same path unless he changes. The second half shows the child imitating the mother's positive behaviors like eating fruit and reading. Studies discussed in the document show children are more likely to engage in healthy behaviors if their parents set a good example through behaviors like eating fruits and reading together.

Economic Profitability Assessment on the Operations of Lechon Manok Enterpris...ijtsrd
This study investigated the economic profitability assessment on the operations of lechon manok enterprise in selected towns in Northern Samar.Results revealed that the economic profitability of the enterprise was computed using return on investment ROI . It was found out that on the return on investment of the respondents the highest was 9.23 , and the lowest was 3.12 . Working capital can be looked at as the excess of total current assets over total current liabilities. Thus, the larger the amount of working capital the stronger the liquidity position of the business organization Al Debi'e, 2011 .Furthermore, results of simple linear regression analysis performed on the data indicated that the relationship between capital and net income was significantly related. The higher the capital, the higher the income.With this, the researchers recommend that lechon manok operators should consider strategies to adjust with the factors that will help to sustain a better profitability of the business. The profitability refers to the measures of profitability of the firm in generating profit San Gabriel, 2005 . However, it is attained by watching the profit over the growth of cost and revenue by watching the profit over the growth of cost and revenue at that margin and by containing the direction of the cost revenue combination that yield the highest possible profit Villegas, 2008 . Consumers should be meticulous enough in choosing and buying a lechon manok in an accredited lechon manok enterprise, for their own safety consumption. Government regulatory authorities should be consistent in supervising the different lechon manok enterprise in town, to secure that all operators are following the standard policies or guidelines used in the business. It is viable that the future investors should have enough capital in starting a lechon manok business. Studies that will involve other respondents in other towns may be conducted to provide further information on the assessment of economic profitability assessment on the operations of lechon manok enterprises.

An Executive MBA (EMBA) program is a graduate-level business education program that is designed for experienced professionals who are already working in leadership positions. Unlike traditional MBA programs, EMBA programs are typically part-time, allowing students to continue working while pursuing their degree. The curriculum is focused on advanced business skills and leadership training, with an emphasis on real-world application. EMBA programs usually take two years to complete and require a significant amount of work experience for admission.

One of the key differentiators is the target audience of each program. An EMBA is explicitly designed for seasoned professionals with typically 8 to 15 years of work experience. This emphasis on experience ensures that participants bring a wealth of real-world knowledge to the classroom, fostering a dynamic and enriching learning environment.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate factors influencing the enrollment of students into
the Executive Masters of Business Administration (EMBA) Programme at Africa University in
Mutare, Zimbabwe. Questionnaires were distributed to students, lecturers and administrators of
the EMBA programme. The analysis showed one the factors hindering increased enrollment is
cost. The fees are unaffordable given the fact that the majority of students pay from their
personal savings. Moreover, there is emerging competition from other programmes offered by
Africa University while other universities in Zimbabwe are offering similar programmes at a
lower cost. The participant also indicated that quality of service needs to be improved and
formal advertising and marketing efforts made as many participants indicated that they got to
know about the programmes through informal means such as from friends.

There are many possible causes of the decline in the enrolment of the Executive Masters of
Business Administration (EMBA) at Africa University. They may include the cost of the
programme, internal competition from programmes such as the Masters in Public Sector
Management (MPSM) in the Faculty of Management and Administration or emerging
programmes in the Institute of Peace Leadership and Governance (IPLG) or the Faculty of
Health Sciences (FHS). The decrease in enrolment may also be due to poor quality of service or
to external competition given the fact that other universities such as The Midlands State
University, The University of Zimbabwe, The National University of Science and Technology,
and The Chinhoyi University of Technology are offering similar programmes. There is need for a
study to identify factors that led to the decrease in enrolment in this programme from 2011 to
2013.
Research Aim
This study aims at investigating the factors that affect the enrolment of students into the
Executive EMBA programme at Africa University in Mutare, Zimbabwe.
LITERATURE REVIEW
The Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) program is a university-based
approach to executive education. It is designed specifically for working business professionals
so that students can complete a program with minimal work interruption. (Bevelander and Pitt
2004) EMBA programs are a by-product of non-credit management training programs. Early
management training programs were designed for executives from large corporations and
typically included four weeks courses. Companies sent managers to executive programs in an
effort to enhance skills, win loyalty from employees, and gain a competitive edge in the
marketplace. In some countries, EMBA were offered along non-degree programs as “mini
MBAs”, directors’ seminars, corporate retreats, and training programs in subject-specific areas
like negotiations, leadership, or marketing. (Cythia et al 2006: 29-42).The first EMBA program
was offered in 1943 at the University of Chicago. More than 20 years passed before the second
EMBA program was developed at Michigan State University. By the end of the 1970s, there
were 34 EMBA programs in the United States and today there are 140 EMBA programs in the
United States alone. These programs are members of the EMBA Council, a professional group
representing universities and colleges throughout the world (Drew & Stephens 2011).
One of the oldest executive MBA programmes, the Sloan Fellows Programme, has had
a complete makeover. In its present form, the program is more flexible and involves participants
having a shorter absence from work. Other regular programs are becoming increasingly

Applicants to executive education programs have increased over recent years. A study
published in 2006 by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) indicated that the
volume of applications to MBA programs increased between 2005 and 2006 (Ann et al. 2006).
When different types of MBA programs were examined, the largest increase in volume was
reported among EMBA programs, with 69% of executive programs reporting increased
applications. Also, a trend has emerged in the duration of EMBA programs (Executive MBA
Council, 2006). Since 2003, the number of institutions reporting longer EMBA programs of 21–
22 months decreased. Bevelander and Pitt (2004) argue that the EMBA qualification is much
sought-after as an alternative to either full time or part time study for a postgraduate
management qualification. Potential top managers and organisations alike have eagerly
embraced it, with the former seeing it as a pathway to corporate success and the latter as a
solution to issues such as management succession and sustained competitive advantage.
Recent years have seen many state and private universities in Zimbabwe introduce the
executive MBA Program.
Institutions offering EMBA programmes must respond to market needs (John et al,
2003). Those who are unwilling to change, according to Schmotter (1994), may experience
dissatisfied students and staff as well as a low demand for their programmes. Henning et al
(2001) reports that since most of these schools lack brand identity, accreditation, reputation,
alumni network, and so forth, they have little basis for competition except service, promotion
and cost. For nationally known EMBA programs an important component of their competitive
strategy was maintaining or increasing the rank of their EMBA program. Further Mellisa and
Malon (2014) reports that “this reputation-centred competition was largely limited to the top 20
programs”. For most of the other thousands of colleges and universities, ranking was a non-
issue. These schools faced localized competitive pressure that was centred more on cost and
accessibility than reputation. As a result, high-quality night programs were developed in
response to those students who worked during the day. The rapid growth of such programs
indicated the overwhelming desire of customers for the EMBA degree.
As enrolment in these new programs grew, the number and quality of students in the
“regular” MBA declined. MBA programs were now experiencing competition from inside their
own university as well as outside. As a result, both revenue and enrolment suffered. Further, in
Zimbabwe, the executive MBA program is offered by both private and state universities across
the country. University admissions and EMBA programmes have become commercial activities.
This is particularly true for MBA programs, which are in many cases flagship programs for
colleges of business. In this view, the quality of the Executive MBA program has a direct impact
on how alumni and the business community perceive the entire college and university.

Kumar (2014) the EMBA market would be the first to become hypercompetitive because of its
connectedness to businesses, importance to universities, and attractiveness to students. They
further argue that, it is widely accepted in the business world that the holder of an EMBA has
received top-notch instruction in the latest business theories, as well as exposure to direct
practical application of theoretical knowledge. The EMBA degree became the “seal of approval”
that the person being hired was well trained, bright and ambitious. National universities
competed on the basis of prestige, reputations and rankings; while, regional universities
competed for location-bound individuals on the basis of convenience and timing.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Design
The research design is case study. This study is qualitative in nature. Qualitative studies seek to
understand a given research problem or topic from the perspectives of the population it
involves. Qualitative research is especially effective in obtaining social, economic and other
factor affecting enrolment of students.
Population and Sampling Techniques
Africa University has more than 350 junior and senior members of staff. The target population
were the lecturers teaching in the EMBA program, the students in the EMBA program and
administrators who were directly involved in the program. In this study purposive sampling was
used. Administrators and lecturers were given questionnaires in their offices. For students, a
simple random sampling procedure was used because it provides equal opportunity of selection
for each element in a population. Questionnaires were placed on a desk at the entrance of
lecture rooms and students were requested to pick them and fill them if they wished to. The total
sample consisted of 50 EMBA students, 20 administrative staff and 10 lecturers who were
directly involved in the teaching of courses in the EMBA program as detailed below:
Table 1: Breakdown of the Sample
Section Number of Participants
EMBA Lecturers 10
Administrators 20
EMBA Students 50
This study had a response rate of 90%. This implies that of the out of 89 questionnaires that
were distributed 80 were returned and only 10% of the participants did not return the
questionnaires.

Table 5 above shows that 60% of the administrators said that there is competition from other
programmes at Africa University.20 % did not agree with this statement and 20% were not sure.
There was emerging competition from other programmes within Africa University. These
programmes were being offered in other Faculties like the Faculty of Humanities and Social
Sciences and the Institute of Peace Leadership and Governments. Students who wanted to do
masters could opt for these programmes. However the other factor affecting enrolment to EMBA
are that there is strong competition from other programmes offered by Africa University. 60% of
the respondents agreed that students now prefer other programmes rather that the EMBA.

Table 6 above shows that 90% of the administrators said that there is competition from other
universities for the same EMBA programme. Other universities like Midlands State University
Universities it means the administrators of the EMBA programme at Africa University should
identify strategies to make the programme viable.
Customer Satisfaction
In order to assess customer satisfaction, the researchers asked the participants whether they
would be willing to recommend someone else to the EMBA at Africa University. On the question
of recommending someone to AU figure 3 shows that more than half of the student respondents
would recommend someone to study at AU.
