Strategic Management Society Annual International Conference, Madrid
Competitive Strategy Interest Group Teaching Workshop
Co-sponsored by the Teaching Community
Saturday, 20 September 2014, 13:00- 16:00
Please join us for the Competitive Strategy Interest Group's third annual Teaching Workshop at the upcoming SMS conference in Madrid. The workshop will be held on Saturday, September 20, 1:00-16:00 and is open to all emerging and established strategy scholar conference registrants. Lunch is available on-site 12:00-13:00pm.
Building on last year's successful workshop on innovation and education, our theme for 2014 is "The Impact of New Technologies on Teaching and Higher Education." The higher-education industry is abuzz with talk about MOOCs, distance learning, computer-based instruction, and other pedagogical innovations. Many of you are already using online exercises and assessments, simulations, and other activities in the classroom. How are these innovations best incorporated into the business curriculum, at the BBA, MBA, EMBA, and PhD levels? What can we, as business scholars, say about the impact of these technologies on higher education more generally? Are they sustaining or disruptive innovations, and what do they imply for the structure of the business school, and the university itself?
Our plan for this session is to discuss how leading companies and business schools are (a) driving innovation in the Higher Education teaching space, (b) thinking about the business model of virtual education (MOOCs, social learning, etc.), and (c) testing some of the assumptions behind globalization in the education industry.
