Business Education & Teaching Research Group
The main pillars of our research are:
- The development/enhancement of a range of teaching methodologies including business simulation, case teaching, management criticality and others.
- The engagement with industry/practice to ensure that the methodologies reflect real world experiences.
- A seminar/educational workshops series designed to support and enhance the teaching methodologies with a specific and pervasive business education slant.
- Liaison with external academia to provide training and encouragement in the use of these methodologies to support our reputation as leaders in teaching innovation.
- Packaging of the outputs of these methodologies to facilitate the dissemination of the synthesised teaching and practice to the work place.
- A repository of case studies, teaching material and practice simulations which it is hoped will eventually generate a revenue stream for the group.
- The dissemination of all our activities in an academic context.
Together these core elements will facilitate a two-way engagement with practice and external academia, support the teaching practices of lecturers, generate significant high quality research output and place WIT School of Business at the forefront of teaching and learning innovation for business education in a national context. Furthermore, this will be aligned to the School of Business Research and Knowledge Transfer Strategy (2007-2010) and the wide ranging existing activities of lecturers within the School in this area.
