OVERVIEW
Business education encompasses a wide range of disciplines with all faculty expected to teach effectively within their discipline[1]. The Teaching Methods in Business series provides - in short, targeted, and immediately useful volumes - practical information about engaged classroom techniques for the business classroom. Each volume describes a specific teaching method within its theoretical framework and historical roots in business education, and includes examples of how the method may be implemented, how the method meets the needs of particular learners in specific ways, the method's strengths and challenges, and a list of annotated references drawn from pedagogical journals in business. The series is designed to serve as a practical resource for business educators at all levels of experience from doctoral students in their first teaching assignment to experienced full-time faculty looking to refresh or expand their teaching repertoire. The series is also a resource for adjunct instructors, libraries and university teaching centers.
