File pdf 328KB

Bringing academic research into the classroom is increasingly important to educators seeking to teach evidence-based management. Yet, engaging students with research can be challenging. More generally, academics wonder how to best disseminate their own research findings to practitioners. This session is designed to help educators bring their own research (as well as the research of others) into their classrooms, “translating” academic insights in ways that will engage students, and ultimately influence future business leaders. We will share our experiences and assignments, and will lead participants in developing their own ideas for incorporating research findings into class assignments and exercises.
