“…Many remote communities are opting out of public education for the very reasons Cervone wants it to stay-parents and community leaders see public education being captured by neoliberal priorities (Guenther & Osborne, 2018). But they do engage in collective struggle to make locally imagined possibilities become reality (Guenther & Falk, 2022;.…”

Assumptions regarding digital technologies in business schools have become part of the hidden curriculum. It is generally assumed that students have the same levels of access and prior exposure to digital technologies as well as information and digital literacies (IDL) skills. Little attention has been given to the issues of social-digital inequalities and the impact of this hidden curriculum on students from disadvantaged backgrounds. In this study, using a phenomenographic approach, we examine how students from rural, socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds in Pakistan, experienced digital technologies in the context of a full-time, in-person MBA program. The findings reveal the students initially had an alienating experience of digital technologies which for most transitions to either an engaged or instrumental experience. While the students exercised agency in transitioning from an alienation experience this was as a result of their own effort, time and labor. We conclude that without additional support offered to students from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, the hidden curriculum associated with digital technologies potentially perpetuates, or maintains socio-digital inequalities within management education.

This article argues that not only is theory building from qualitative evaluation possible, but ought to be considered as a desirable product and utilisation of evaluators’ work. Based on three case studies, the authors show how theory building can work, and why it can be important and useful. Theory building is seldom considered an impact-producing product from evaluation. Theory in evaluation is typically limited to ‘evaluation theory’ as a way of explaining why and how different approaches to evaluation work. Theory is also used to inform programme design and ‘theory of change’. The literature seldom suggests that evaluations can be used to build theory in social sciences. The argument presented in this article builds on literature of ‘theories of evaluation use’ to suggest that theorising is a form of knowledge utilisation arising from well-constructed, open-ended evaluation questions, and conceptual use of findings and recommendations.
