Abstract:
Much has been written on what is taught in MBA courses, and legs on how it is taught and the kinds of learning that are encouraged. This paper offers an analysis of different types of learning and their place within an MBA programme; it considers some of the dilemmas for staff and students between analogue and digital learning; between learning about ideas and learning how to do things; between learning about techniques and learning how to learn; and between learning by acquaintance and learning by description. Within these dilemmas it considers the connection between the experience that managers bring to an MBA course, the frameworks and theories that are offered to them within the course, and the merged knowledge and experience that they take from the course, which should enable them to learn more rapidly from experience in the future. The paper describes one particular educational device that has proved effective in enabling MBA students to integrate their knowledge and experience.
