This session will help management educators recognize the value of using metaphor and analogy for understanding and clarifying the experience of awakening students to the body of information OB offers. Both metaphor and analogies inform our approach to the various currents we face; our existing knowledge of one type of current can help us carry that wisdom into new territories. This session will drive a conversation about the phenomena of metaphor and analogy as powerful teaching tools and those who participate will be better equipped to develop future students because they will have gathered more navigational tools.
