TEACHING THE PRACTICE OF MANAGEMENT 6: A WORKSHOP FOR AFRICAN FACULTY
WE STRONGLY URGE ALL TPM ALUMNI INTERESTED IN ATTENDING TO COMPLETE THE ONLINE REGISTRATION FORM AND RESERVE YOUR FLIGHTS TO AND FROM SOUTH AFRICA AS TPM 6 IS TAKING PLACE A WEEK PRIOR TO THE 2010 WORLD CUP!
It is with great pleasure that the Association of African Business Schools invites all alumni from any of the previous TPM workshops to participate in TPM 6 at the Gordon Institute of Business Science, Johannesburg, South Africa from the evening of Thursday 3 June 2010 to lunchtime on Wednesday 9th June 2010.
This will be the sixth Africa-wide workshop to be held, focusing on “practice-based” teaching methods held for African management and business school faculty. This TPM will take on a different format to previous TPM’s and will specifically be for alumni from previous TPM’s. Therefore any faculty member who has attended a previous TPM workshop will be welcome to join us on TPM 6 to take the learning deeper.
TPM 6 aims to continue focusing on “practice-based” teaching but taking it beyond case studies. TPM 6 will look at the discussion method using non case material, experiences with simulations and role playing, company visits, debates, the use of multi – media amongst other things. As TPM 6 will be taking place just before the 2010 FIFA World Cup we hope to incorporate site visits, company visits and panel discussions with those companies, people and media involved in the 2010 World Cup.There will still be plenty of opportunity to wrestle with management issues and decisions but through a variety of participant centered learning methods. Participants will also get the opportunity to share their teaching experiences and learn from each other.
We are confident that this programme will provide an excellent opportunity for faculty to be exposed to best practices for teaching and learning in the field of Management. We aim to build a strong and long-standing network of African faculty who are committed to supporting each other in building discussion and practice-based teaching skills.
