This PDW is a participatory workshop that invites teachers and scholars to share current
and on-going development of action learning project based courses and management
pedagogy. Our workshop will review established practices in developing teaching
strategies and techniques for action learning courses. Workshop participants and
attendees will explore a paradox in the traditional delivery of management education
within many disciplines and find new opportunities for teacher/scholar/student
collaboration. Within this experiential learning workshop, participants will uncover and
reinforce why these courses matter to scholars and teachers in management education,
business and society. The delivery of applied coursework with external corporate partners
is a flourishing field with many delivery models for project-based courses. The
development of action learning projects and whole courses typically generate complex
questions regarding delivery of the course. This complexity escalates when projects are
global in nature and deal with organizations or entities in emerging economies. Faculty
and students need to consider the draw of the informal economy when preparing to work
on these projects. Understanding the movement toward action learning will help
management teachers and scholars collaborate across disciplines and develop a pedagogy
that encourages learning beyond personal experiences, beliefs, and value systems.
Attendees will be able to build networks, deepen insights into current and pressing issues
in management education and provide an opportunity to share and enhance on-going
project and course development.
