NEW Teaching Initiative Task Force
In answering a long-standing desire to offer value to academics concentrating on the teaching of strategy, the SMS is moving forward with a new teaching initiative. In the first year of this initiative four teaching sessions were held at the SMS Annual International Conference in San Diego along with one planning meeting for members interested in helping to organize teaching events in the future. The sessions included panel discussions on a variety of teaching topics and a case teaching demonstration by Idie Kesner (Indiana University), who is leading the Teaching Initiative Taskforce.
The task force is now planning another 4-6 sessions for the October 2008 SMS Conference in Cologne, and invites participation by all interested SMS members. Idie Kesner is working with other taskforce members Brian Boyd (Arizona State University), Mark de Rond (Cambridge University), Paul Friga (Indiana University), Guenter Mueller-Stewens (University of St. Gallen), and Christoph Zott (INSEAD). Anyone interested in participating in the teaching sessions during the October 2008 SMS Conference or participating in the future development of a Teaching Interest Group is encouraged to e-mail Idie at ikesner@ indiana.edu.
