Traditional modes of instruction are increasingly being supplemented and in some cases replaced with online modes of instruction. At the same time, changes are also driving an update to concepts of what and how strategy is taught. Just as strategy instructors advise students and by extension firms to create a fit with their environment, we as instructors need to heed our advice and update topics we cover (e.g., family business, non-profits), methods we use (e.g., cases, simulations), tools we teach (e.g., 5-forces, stakeholder analysis), content delivery (e.g., lecture, online, video), and so on. We welcome proposals addressing these themes that have implications for teaching strategy. In particular, we request proposals that challenge conventional wisdom, provide a fresh perspective, and open up new approaches to education on strategy development and implementation. For example, business and consultant perspectives of business education, needs, and approaches are welcome.
Proposal Guidelines:
· Should not exceed a total of 7 pages and 4000 words – 5 pages for the body which can include charts, graphs, diagrams, etc. and up to 2 pages of references. The word count includes all text in the charts, graphs, diagrams, etc. and references.
· Must be accompanied by a 125 word abstract for inclusion in the Conference Program.
· Only Electronic submissions of Proposal(s) will be accepted.
· Maximum of two (2) proposals, either as an author or a co-author, may be submitted
