Introduction
Management Education is undergoing a sea of changes as management institutes across the world are encouraging their faculty members to develop innovative teaching practises that can sufficiently impact student learning. There is a recurring need expressed by corporates too, that management students should be better prepared to handle the hypercompetitive business environment and simultaneously address the challenge of technology impacting growth and survival strategies. Thus, management institutes are constantly transforming existing teaching and learning practises, besides developing more innovative ones. These practises range from traditional case studies, group projects, role plays, etc. to more evolved ones like gaming technologies, case based simulations, international virtual assignments and so on. Such techniques have resulted in improved learning for students, yet have imposed challenges in terms of assessing the actual impact, understanding the variables affecting delivery, and measuring the value added to the companies these students’ work for. Besides, there is an emergent realization that teaching, learning and pedagogies form an integrated perspective. Views on the nature of knowledge, its creation and dissemination, learners’ perspective of knowledge, assessment tasks and discourse patterns, and the roles and relationships of teachers and learners have to be understood in totality to study the overall impact on management education.
This book aims to discuss perspectives on innovations happening in teaching and learning practises across the world. The editors seek chapters exploring the evolution and the development of new techniques, operant factors, constraints faced in delivery, challenges of assessment, readiness of the students or participants, the changing role of faculty members or instructors, and educational and social repercussions.
