Lessons From Management 101: Learning to Manage Ourselves

Abstract

The Management 101 Project continues to shape our understanding of what’s essential to an introductory general education course in management. Our ongoing challenge is to integrate responsibilities to people (Who needs to learn? Everybody.), to best practices (How can we best learn? Active, experiential methods.), and to the contents of our discipline (What do and don’t we need to learn? Effective projects + efficient methods + caring communities.).
