Teaching Management

How can every management class be a dynamic, unforgettable experi-

ence? This much-needed book distills over half a century of the authors’

combined experience as university professors, consultants, and advi-

sors to corporate training departments. In a lively, hands-on fashion, it

describes the fundamental elements in every learning situation, allow-

ing readers to adapt the suggestions to their particular teaching con-

text. It sparks reﬂection on what we do in the classroom, why we

do it, and how it might be done more effectively. The chapters are

broadly organized according to things done before class, during class,

and in between and after class, so that every instructor, whether newly

minted Ph.D.s facing their ﬁrst classroom experience, experienced fac-

ulty looking to polish their teaching techniques, consultants who want

to have more impact, or corporate trainers wishing to develop in-house

teaching skills, can beneﬁt from the invaluable advice given.

James G. S. Clawson and Mark E. Haskins are Professors

of Business Administration at the Darden Graduate School of Business

Administration, University of Virginia.

Advance praise for Teaching Management

“I have never understood why the academic world does so little to

prepare new faculty members for the most important work they do –

teaching. Now that Jim Clawson and Mark Haskins have created this

thoughtful ﬁeld guide to the complex issues and problems inherent in

teaching any subject matter, omitting this work as preparation would

be like sending soldiers to battle without ammunition or armor. The

many insights in this book are gleaned from a career in education and

from imparting it to new faculty at the Darden School – known for

outstanding educators – and we should all be grateful that so much

wisdom has at last been codiﬁed.”

Allan R. Cohen , Edward A. Madden Professor and Director of Cor-

porate Entrepreneurship, Babson College

“Bravo! Finally a book that acknowledges academia’s best-kept secret –

no one’s been teaching the professor how to teach. Clawson and Hask-

ins have created a practical guide that explores both the magic and

mechanics of good teaching and learning. The mix of theory and prac-

tice, accessible writing style, and structured opportunities for readers

to think about their own teaching make this a wonderful resource for

young educators and seasoned veterans alike.”

Joan V. Gallos , Professor of Leadership, Henry W. Bloch School of

Business and Public Administration and former Dean of the School of

Education, University of Missouri-Kansas City

“At our Leadership Learning Center in Eastern Kazakhstan, working

with Darden, KIMEP and KAFU, we have been lacking the essential

tool for ensuring that we can conﬁdently and consistently bring ﬁrst-

class instruction to our leaders in-country, in their native tongue. We

have been searching for the appropriate ‘train-the-trainer tool’ and

Clawson’s and Haskin’s book has fulﬁlled this need by helping us to

transform our instruction style successfully.”

Dale Perry , President, AES Kazakhstan

“In one well-organized volume, Clawson and Haskins have created

a comprehensive, engaging, and useful handbook for new and expe-

rienced management educators. Students of business administration,

degree and nondegree, will be the real beneﬁciaries of this extraordi-

nary work by two master teachers.”

John W. Rosenblum , Dean Emeritus, Darden Graduate School of Busi-

ness Administration, University of Virginia

“Clawson and Haskins have made an outstanding contribution to the

teaching ﬁeld! This is an excellent resource for experienced teachers,

and should be required reading for all new doctoral students in the

management disciplines.”

Roy J. Lewicki , Fisher College of Business, The Ohio State University

“The best sales person often gets promoted to be head of sales. The

most brilliant engineer is frequently elevated to run the engineering

department. And, an impressive background in management research

and theory is often enough to qualify for a position with a consulting

ﬁrm or a professorship at a business school. But, there is no intrin-

sic correlation between expertise in sales, engineering or management

research/theory and the ability to teach or lead others. This brilliant

book will show you how to bridge the gap! And, if you are already a

skilled teacher, you will ﬁnd this book to be an inspiration and guide

to even greater effectiveness.”

Michael J. Gelb , author of How to Think Like Leonardo DaVinci and

Discover Your Genius

“Wondering why your MBAs or executives seem uninterested in or

resistant to what you teach? Want to know how to plan a course and

class, choose the right method, develop new materials, employ tech-

nology effectively and evaluate students in a way that develops them?

Grounded soundly in the precepts of adult learning, this book is an

excellent A to Z guide to making you an inspiring and effective teacher

of management.”

Michael Beer , Professor Emeritus, Harvard Business School and Chair-

man, Center for Organizational Fitness

“ Teaching Management is a unique and valuable resource for those

who want their teaching to be relevant to the knowledge, motivating to

the student, and effective in achieving lasting learning. Firmly grounded

in learning theory, it shows how to prepare and present in ways that

are based upon a lifetime of success in teaching. Jim Clawson and

Mark Haskins have done a wonderful service to those who aspire to

be successful in the classroom.”

Nicholas Fritz , President, Knowledge Implementation Corporation

“In Teaching Management , Jim Clawson and Mark Haskins have done

an excellent job of detailing the preparation necessary to make a class

appear spontaneous. I am glad they took the time to share their prin-

ciples, which they have used so capably in the classroom.”

Jay Kloosterboer , Executive Vice President – Business Excellence, AES

Corporation

“Reading this book is like getting a teaching certiﬁcate in management

education. Two master teachers themselves, Clawson and Haskins have

achieved an amazing balance between learning theory and practical,

engaging approaches, between the rigor of academia and the interactive

demands of corporate learners. Their encyclopedic survey of teaching

methods ranges from valuable insights on classical approaches such as

the case method all the way to action learning and simulations. This

is the most comprehensive book on teaching business management

that has ever been written. Both corporate trainers and management

professors will return to it again and again for more insights and value.”

David Giber, Ph.D. , Senior Vice President, Linkage, Inc., 25 years of

experience in developing managers

“For the ﬁrst time in my professional career I have found a rare gem –

a book that in a clear, structured, conceptually sound and yet engag-

ing way distils the wisdom of the teaching profession. Most manage-

ment teachers at the best business schools in the world have received

a formidable academic education, but are self-trained in terms of

their teaching skills. This excellent book provides valuable support for

novices, and allows more experienced teachers to discover that what

they have been doing for years ﬁts into a ‘greater design’ and that there

are more tricks of the trade to learn.”

Nenad Filipovic, Ph.D. , Professor of General Management, IEDC –

Bled School of Management, Slovenia

“Clawson and Haskins do an exceptional job of reminding man-

agement professors of the theoretical aspects of teaching and the
