The historical perspective provides us with an in-depth understanding of what strategic management is all about. Importantly, learning about the history is not only learning about the theoretical developments and trajectories but also about changes in the business environment. Addressing these changes and new phenomena has forced and inspired scholars to refine the old concepts and theories or create new ones. We can say that the evolution has taken place in two ways: through accumulation of scientific knowledge and through empirical inputs from the changing business environment. Learning a history of a discipline of any kind may sound boring and irrelevant, but in fact it can be seen as an exciting journey to study how the theory and practice have coevolved and intertwined; how new phenomena and questions arise and how this evolutionary process deepens our knowledge and understanding. It is worth noting that the history of the actual independent discipline of strategic management is fairly young. The early history goes back to the 1970s. Its main professional forum, the Strategic Management Society (SMS), was not established until the year 1981. Naturally, the field has long roots in the earlier developments of military and later business strategy that finally led to the situation where the scholars of strategic management saw the need for creating a more solid foundation for the field. From the very beginning, the core question of strategic management has been why some firms are more successful than others and how firms can sustain their competitive advantage. What can be more relevant questions for business! Learning about strategic management and its history provides us with a profound understanding of these highly important questions of every single entrepreneur. Through its core question, strategic management research expresses its","PeriodicalId":214865,"journal":{"name":"Teaching Strategic Management","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133079476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Introduction: learning from teaching failures, achieving teaching successes","authors":"Sabine Baumann","doi":"10.4337/9781788978361.00007","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4337/9781788978361.00007","url":null,"abstract":"Teaching is personal. Teaching is challenging. Teaching is diverse. Teaching can be messy. Teaching – even the same module – is always different. Teaching is about people. The idea for Teaching Strategic Management: A Hands-on Guide to Teaching came from a curiosity about why we as faculty and instructors rarely share our personal stories of failure in the classroom, but instead place so much emphasis on celebrating streamlined and frequently impracticable “best” practices. We all know these moments when well-planned teaching concepts fall apart in the classroom, when students become disengaged or when we realize during grading that the flaw was in the concept or our teaching rather than students’ being unprepared for the assessment. However, experienced faculty also know that what may have started out as a failure often turns out to be the root of wonderful teaching successes. Therefore it is so important to share what it takes to turn failures in the classroom into those marvelous moments when our hard work and meticulous preparation culminate in students’ finally mastering difficult concepts and when a sense of enlightenment and deep satisfaction fills the classroom. Teaching is diverse. Teaching is truly challenging. There is an extensive array of diverse challenges ranging from dealing with heterogeneous student groups to teaching specific methods such as design thinking, grading, teaching strategic management to particular student groups such as nonbusiness students or executives, how to bring practice into the classroom, teaching online, and so on. Especially junior faculty find the first steps as a teacher a tough contest. Nevertheless, experienced faculty know that you","PeriodicalId":214865,"journal":{"name":"Teaching Strategic Management","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121588138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
