'This is an intensely practical and practice-inspired book aimed at the new, and not so new, HE instructor. Illustrations, thoughts, reflections and tips for the practitioner are generously provided throughout. Old and new tools and techniques, from storytelling to the virtual classroom, are brought to life; challenging and encouraging the reader to broaden their practice.'--Ann Davis, University of Sydney, Australia'This conversational collection offers an array of practical tips, personal anecdotes and examples for teaching in business and management contexts. Lecturers who are new to teaching will no doubt find it very useful to get started, while more experienced colleagues may want to dip into it for fresh ideas.'--Alison James, University of Winchester, UK'This is an essential resource for anyone teaching and supporting learning in a business school. The variety and richness of practical approaches, pedagogic reflections and initiatives presented in the context of business and management education is simply outstanding. Well done for this must-read collection of inspirational ideas and tried and tested approaches that will inspire us all to get more creative in the business classroom.'--Sally Everett, King's College London, UK
