Abstract

PurposeTo focus on potential advances in pedagogy and on the process of learning in business schools. It examines innovations in teaching and learning methods particularly in the context of networked organisations.Design/methodology/approachIt approaches, and examine the impact of, three key developments in business schools, namely, recent advances in IT, changes in the architecture of classrooms and learning spaces and advances in the way teaching is undertaken.FindingsThe paper suggests that a blend between self-learning via distance approaches and face-to-face learning will increasingly become the norm. Face-to-face sessions might be in a 'flat room' environment with a creative mix of short lectures, experiential, group learning and conceptual plenary lectures, software innovations, digital textbooks and 'open plan' learning spaces would complement the instructional process.Research limitations/implicationsThese are clear implications for parallel IT (developments in course modules) and architectural innovations for the design of more effective and creative learning spaces.Practical implicationsImproving pedagogy together with the physical design and layout of learning spaces is critical. The aim is, through enhanced participative pedagogy and 'friendly' architecture to improve learning by encouraging dialogue and closer interaction between students and professors from different disciplines and fields. Originality/valueIt offers a prescription for a participative, technology enhanced and interactive teaching pedagogy that could produce more effective and efficient, teaching outcomes. This has strong implications for the sustainability, and funding capability, of many existing business schools and business schools models.
