Learning from the Capture and Exploration of Stories: An Activity and Lessons Learned
Stories can be an effective management tool, as they are simple, timeless, an excellent means of training, memorable, and can be fun. Stories have been presented as a method for teaching about and exploring various management topics (cf. Peterson, et al. 2016. “Storytime for Business Students”). This session is focused on having participants capture and interpret stories about the experiences of others (in various circumstances and settings). An exploration of the strengths and limitations of this approach will be conducted as we develop and examine our own stories and discover how to use them in our classes.
