Educators are increasingly called upon to help students develop workplace skills that employers say are essential, but are often lacking in college graduates—critical thinking and problem solving. This session explores the use of reframing in an interdisciplinary internship seminar where undergraduates are engaged in “live cases” through their management internships. Using the Four Frames framework from Bolman & Deal’s (2013) Reframing Organizations, students develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills by analyzing complex organizational situations in their internships from multiple perspectives: structural, human resource, political and symbolic.
