TEACHING THE PRACTICE OF MANAGEMENT (TPM) 5
This will be the fifth Africa-wide workshop to be held, focusing on “practice-based” teaching methods for African management and business school faculty. The term “practice-based” encompasses discussion, participant-centered and case teaching methods which enable students to develop judgment and problem-solving skills in the classroom. Students wrestle with management issues and decisions through the use of case studies and class discussions.
The workshop addresses the changing needs of teachers of Management for Africa’s new generation of business and community leaders. It provides a dynamic platform for faculty from business schools in Africa to explore practice-based learning in an intensive and interactive environment. Content has been specifically designed by faculty from the Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) and Lagos Business School (LBS) together with leading international business schools.
Jonathan Cook from the Gordon Institute of Business Science has directed TPM since inception and together with Prof Tom Piper (Harvard Business School), Prof Nick Binedell and Terrence Taylor (Gordon Institute of Business Science), Enase Okonendo (Lagos Business School) and Freddie Acosta (Strathmore Business School) will be leading the programme.
A second Master Teachers course will run alongside TPM 5 for those who have attended TPM before. It will be for those who would like to develop their skills to mentor and develop others to “Teach the Practice of Management”.
This programme will provide an excellent opportunity for faculty to be exposed to best practices for teaching and learning in the field of Management, particularly in the African Context. The aim of the programme is 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.
