Dear all, Please find below a list of responses I received on my inquiry on innovative methods of teaching strategic management. Best, Ulf ------------ You could include simulation here. I use CAPSIM. Charles Fenner, PhD SUNY - Canton 34 Cornell Drive Canton, NY 13617 ------------ You might find it useful to start with a movie. I use 7-Samurai but there are other strategy decision classics. Best, Bill Rapp ------------ Hello, Have you tried with starting a strategic management course with the 1 page long Robin Hood case study? students know the story well as a tale, but the strategic interpretations it allows for long exceed their expectations. Contact me if you like the idea. Best, Alex Rialp ------------ Hi, You may look at http://ssrn.com/abstract=2146208 Bests, Igor Gurkov ------------ Dear Ulf: Are you familiar with Educause? http://www.educause.edu/eli/publications?filters=sm_cck_field_super_facet%3A%22EDUCAUSE%20Library%20Items%22%20tid%3A33152%20tid%3A33438 And isn't innovation a personal transformation? I bet they would give you a hefty discount on this one? http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/education/prospective/pgcei/pgcei-introduction.aspx Best regards, Daniel J. Costello ------------ Ulf, I have found one of the best intros is to run the 'Winter Survival Exercise' by Joshi, Davis, Kathuria and Weidner in Jo Mang Ed 2005: 29:672. You can take the exercise into a number of directions. I especially emphasize the nature of strategic decisions and the strategic decision process.

It is a good way for students to participate, to become innovative thinker and ethical decision makers, especially for Chinese students who are normally passive in the learning process. It's just my thought and hope it helpful in someway. :) Betty Betty Feng 2CI Fellow - Chinese Studies Doctoral Candidate Marketing & International Business J.Mack Robinson College of Business Georgia State University http://bettyfeng.us/ ------------ Hi Ulf If you would be willing to share, I would like to see your responses as I have the same inquiry. Enjoy your summer! Thank you and kind regards. Charla Dr. Charla Brown Assistant Professor of Management Gore School of Business Westminster College Slat Lake City, UT ------------ Dear Ulf, How are you? I have been using a business simulation from a company called Glo-Bus (affiliated with McGraw-Hill), which has two kinds of business simulations. One involves selling cameras made in Taiwan, and the other shoes from multiple manufacturing spots. I've been using the former. There is an option for a related text book. My students have found it to be fun and challenging. If you are interested, go to www.glo-bus.com<http://www.glo-bus.com> and take a look. Best, John ------------ Dear Ulf, I have been teaching Strategic Management for many years. This past semester I tried something very innovative and the students absolutely loved it. In fact, I won the Innovation award in teaching at my school (Providence College). It's called "Enter-the-Boardroom" where students build their own cases based on real time current company strategic issues found in 10k and Value Line reports. I developed a whole system which, if you are interested, I can share with you. I developed this system further after publishing my book this past December. Check out my book on Amazon "Business Models and Strategic Management: A new Integration". You can see the entire Module 1 for free and the Enter-the-Boardroom scenarios at the end of the module. Let me know and I can share the entire system with you. Best, Dr Francine Newth Associate Professor of Strategy and Management ------------ Dr. Richer, Have you considered a business simulation? A capstone course should pull all of the learning of your students together. I find the simulations quite useful in this respect. Over the years I have used a number of different simulations. Currently I am using interpretive software products. http://www.interpretive.com/rd6/index.php Warmly Stephen ------------ Dear Ulf, When you have got the suggestions about the strategic management course, could you please share them with me? Many thanks.

I found students really learn a lot when they conduct a live case analysis. Please see the syllabus (attached). I typically bring an industry expert to challenge the students. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any question. Mazhar ------------ Dear Ulf, My suggestion is that you have your students take part in an Internet-based game that I administer. It will include students from different countries. You can find out about the game (GEO) through my web site, as given below. It's free, and I take care of administration.
