Historically Speaking: Teaching Organizational Culture Using Students’ Lived Experiences

Abstract: I will explain how the histories of our respective institutions can be used to teach students about management concepts, particularly organizational culture. By making connections between past and present, students recognize cultural transmission in action and their role in that process. I will discuss how tapping into campus history can engage students and will share strategies for adapting this lesson to attendees’ own campuses.
