Interdisciplinary Approaches in Management Education

Educational institutions have invested greatly in the introduction and development of new teaching methods in recent years, especially during and after the pandemic. Despite these new approaches, relevant questions related to learning objectives, suitable methodologies, and impact assessment remain unanswered. This book, Interdisciplinary Approaches in Managerial Education, aims to address these unanswered questions regarding best practices, laboratory methods, policies, and protocols in the areas of education and managerial training. The book covers several topics related to practical approaches to managerial education and training. It provides detailed explanations in relation to active methodologies such as problem-based learning (PBL), co-creation, team-based learning (TBL), etc. This book takes an integrated approach towards the new paradigm of management education, ensuring that both teacher and student comprehend the interdisciplinary approach between ideas and concepts across different domains of study. The book presents 16 chapters on various themes to consolidate the understanding of interdisciplinary management education. It includes chapters relating to employability, digitalization and digital technologies, and sustainability, providing not just an introduction to these factors in an interdisciplinary approach, but also a look at the future of management education due to the ever-growing requirement of interdisciplinarity. Topics include hybrid teaching tools, such as gamification in management education; role of applied mathematics in financial management education; how management education can lead to achieving sustainable development goals; the impact of ITC in managerial education during times of economic crisis; strengthening industry-academia linkages; industry demands in terms of employability skills among management students; and more. This book will enrich its readers with contemporary ideas on interdisciplinary management education and world-wide best practices. Primarily geared toward an academic audience (academics, university teachers, researchers, and post-graduate students), this book will also be of benefit to public and private institutions, educational developers, and researchers in managerial training education.
