Between Experience and Knowledge
分析了MBA课程中不同类型的学习及其矛盾，探讨了管理者经验、课程理论与融合知识之间的关系，并介绍了一种有效的教学工具。
Much has been written on what is taught in MBA courses, and legs on how it is taught and the kinds of learning that are encouraged. This paper offers an analysis of different types of learning and their place within an MBA programme; it considers some of the dilemmas for staff and students between analogue and digital learning; between learning about ideas and learning how to do things; between learning about techniques and learning how to learn; and between learning by acquaintance and learning by description. Within these dilemmas it considers the connection between the experience that managers bring to an MBA course, the frameworks and theories that are offered to them within the course, and the merged knowledge and experience that they take from the course, which should enable them to learn more rapidly from experience in the future. The paper describes one particular educational device that has proved effective in enabling MBA students to integrate their knowledge and experience.
