With the arrival of generative AI (GenAI) in both workplaces and academia, faculty must choose whether and how to introduce students to the powers of artificial intelligence. This teaching brief explores the implementation of a series of scaffolded lessons using GenAI in a quantitative, undergraduate operations management course. Leveraging Fink's theory of significant learning and Kuh's High Impact Practices (HIPs), the initiative integrates real-world applications of artificial intelligence to enhance student learning and career readiness. This brief explains how the teaching innovation allowed students to compare the practical value of Excel versus ChatGPT in conducting statistical analysis. Industry experts and a site visit provided insights into the use of generative AI in business contexts. Results indicate that these course enhancements elevate student interest in operations management and business analytics and offer a model for future improvements in business education.","PeriodicalId":46210,"journal":{"name":"Decision Sciences-Journal of Innovative Education","volume":"24 1-2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/dsji.70019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147715055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected from three core stakeholder groups: Academic Bodies (faculty and administrators), Business Sector professionals (employers and HR managers), and Decision-Makers (students, alumni, applicants, and parents). Results reveal distinct value orientations: Academic Bodies prioritized curricular frameworks and instructional quality, showing a slight preference for online delivery; the Business Sector emphasized adaptive learning and job readiness, favoring on-site programs; Decision-Makers focused on employability and cost, also preferring on-site formats. The findings provide a structured, comparative view of stakeholder priorities and delivery preferences, offering evidence-based guidance for reforming MBA programs. This study demonstrates the utility of FAHP in triangulating stakeholder input and enhancing policy decisions in management education within developing contexts.","PeriodicalId":46210,"journal":{"name":"Decision Sciences-Journal of Innovative Education","volume":"24 1-2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147715056","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}

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) offer a powerful alternative by capturing sequential dependencies and adapting to shifting trends. However, RNNs steep learning curve presents challenges for business students with limited technical backgrounds and instructors with varying technical expertise. This study responds to such challenges by developing a structured instructional framework that bridges the gap between traditional forecasting and RNN-based techniques in business education. Through a scaffolded learning approach with comprehensive implementation support, students progressively transition from statistical models to hands-on RNN implementation using Python. Pre-module and post-module assessments demonstrate significant gains in conceptual understanding, technical proficiency, and the ability to apply RNN-driven forecasts in decision-making contexts. A high level of student engagement further reinforces the effectiveness of this approach. This study contributes to the literature by advancing RNN education beyond purely technical considerations through the development of a structured instructional framework accessible to business students with limited programming experience and instructors across diverse institutional contexts. By establishing an adaptable educational model, this study facilitates the integration of RNN-driven forecasting into business curricula, enhancing students' ability to apply machine learning techniques in real-world contexts.","PeriodicalId":46210,"journal":{"name":"Decision Sciences-Journal of Innovative Education","volume":"24 1-2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147715059","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}

To better understand how to prepare our students for the Industry 4.0 era, we surveyed current and former students on their perceptions of pedagogical methods that contributed to their learning and preparation to enter the workforce as supply chain management professionals. Results from former students, who are working in the supply chain management field, indicate that real-world teaching methods have a higher impact on learning than methods that are not as real-world. However, both groups rated guest speakers as the most effective learning method and lectures as the least effective. We offer an exploratory study motivated by students’ informal post-discussion of learning via Zoom during COVID-19. This article offers insights into how teachers should deliver supply chain content based on the student's perception of learning, an approach that will prepare students for supply chain management careers in the Industry 4.0 era.","PeriodicalId":46210,"journal":{"name":"Decision Sciences-Journal of Innovative Education","volume":"23 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/dsji.70016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145062698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their growing relevance to industry, these systems remain largely underrepresented in academic settings, which contributes to a significant gap in student knowledge and preparedness. Traditional educational approaches often fail to equip future professionals with the practical skills required by modern logistics systems. While the learning factory paradigm partially addresses this gap, it typically places limited emphasis on logistics processes. To bridge this divide between theory and industrial practice, a hands-on learning experience was conducted in a logistics-focused learning factory involving Bachelor's and Master's engineering students. A structured questionnaire was administered to evaluate students’ perceptions of automated warehouses, and statistical methods were employed to analyze both the short- and medium-term impacts of the experience. Findings revealed a strong interest among students in industrial logistics, despite limited prior exposure to automation technologies. Consistent with previous research, the hands-on approach was particularly effective for Master's students, highlighting its potential as a valuable educational tool in logistics engineering.","PeriodicalId":46210,"journal":{"name":"Decision Sciences-Journal of Innovative Education","volume":"23 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/dsji.70015","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144998680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this exercise, teams are asked to formulate and justify human resource/talent management policy modifications that contribute to a competitive advantage for a hypothetical North American niche grocery chain (Friendly & Fresh Foods) planning expansion into China. The exercise's unique value is its focus on the interconnectedness between business strategy, talent management, and culture in helping to “win” the local challenge when entering an unfamiliar territory where global leaders may need to adapt both competitive strategy and cultural practices to achieve business entry success. Recommendations are honed after consideration of their assigned home country's business model (differentiation or cost leadership) and the host country's culture. The choice of China as the expansion country serves to magnify the “distances” that must be examined when expanding internationally, in this case when a North American operation decides to expand its operations to China. The exercise's theoretical foundation is informed by international business, global human resource management, and cultural research. The exercise's effectiveness is well supported by graduate students who have experienced the exercise and by faculty evaluations of team presentations.","PeriodicalId":46210,"journal":{"name":"Decision Sciences-Journal of Innovative Education","volume":"23 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144935097","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}
