Overview

Join us for an exciting webinar where we will present two innovative approaches to engage students, provide them with memorable experiences that add value, and are useful to teach international business. 

 

Company-Based Case Teaching: Globalization of Chinese Companies Course

Shameen Prashantham will discuss a pedagogical approach that CEIBS refers to as “real situation learning” whereby students are taught case studies on the premises of the case-company, along with a company tour and interactions with executives. He will discuss a three-day course taught in Nanjing, China primarily for international MBA students involving cases of Chinese companies that “springboarded” into advanced markets in Europe and North America via cross-border acquisitions. In addition to highlighting how case teaching can be brought alive for MBA students, this example also highlights potential synergy between research and teaching, as these cases resulted from a multi-year research project at CEIBS.

 

Gamified Experiential Learning: Walking Family Business Workshop

Marleen Dieleman will discuss an experiential learning innovation where participants engage in “out of the walls” learning in the form of a gamified amazing race through Singapore in small teams. The walking family business workshop leverages free technologies, combining mini-video lectures, proactive team research and insta-worthy memories while appealing to the competitive animal spirits of participants. Initially started as a course activity, the activity has been turned into a company with walking workshops for executives and professionals.
