Teaching Methods in Business series

Contemporary business education encompasses a wide range of disciplines with all business faculty expected to teach effectively. Yet, in establishing that expectation, business schools don’t always consider what resources educators may need to become effective teachers or to continue to develop their craft. The Teaching Methods in Business (TMB) series is designed to address that gap.

Every TMB volume provides focused, informative, and immediately useful coverage of a single active learning method with relevant considerations for any type of business classroom. Authored by interdisciplinary teams of business educators, the series has been planned and edited for a global audience.

Each TMB volume begins with a discussion of a specific teaching method within its theoretical and historical roots. Following this foundation, each volume discusses how the method meets the needs of particular learners in specific ways, offers reflection on the method’s strengths and challenges, and provides examples of how the method may be implemented in various contexts. All volumes conclude with a list of annotated references drawn from pedagogical journals in business and related resources. The series is tailored 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 intended as a resource for adjunct instructors, libraries and university teaching centers.

The TMB series takes both a scholarly and an applied approach to educator development by providing conceptual grounding along with practical guidance and resources needed to implement the method based on the specific needs of the reader. Regardless of your particular business discipline or your experience with engaged learning, we hope you find the information provided in this and other volumes both inspiring and useful!
