ACTIVE-LEARNING EXERCISES
"Active learning" means students engage with the material, participate in the class, and collaborate with each
other in order to understand and retain the material. In an active-learning environment, students don‘t simply
listen; they aren‘t expected to memorize what is said but to understand the material, and later testing reflects
this. An active-learning environment requires prior preparation, both from you and the students; it helps if you
can tell them ahead of time what you will be doing in the next class.
The essence of an active-learning exercise is that the instructor sets the stage with a scenario and one or
more questions. To get the students to collaborate, the instructor may form teams based on some criteria.
Active-learning exercises do not always have to be team-based. There is always an output to an active-learning
exercise—either written or oral; you can provide a critique or assign another student team to provide one. You
should provide an assessment on these exercises; quality participation in such exercises should carry some
weight in a student‘s grade. My experience is that the more weight you give the exercises, the more and better
the participation. The more participation; the greater the learning.
This text has ample material for active-learning exercises. With the material below, you ask students to
provide a review or critique, provide an alternative approach, given an example, analyze an argument, provide
the alternative to the argument given, or apply concepts to a real management dilemma.
PicProfiles
o Extended Reality Use in Business…(image: donut graph) an Accenture Consultancy study
identified XR as one of four major technology trends affecting business in the next decade.
Use this to discuss technology and its impact on business in general and research in particular.
o National Youth Tobacco Survey…(image: man vaping) How the Food and Drug Administration
operationally defined vaping.
Use this to discuss the importance of operating definitions. Ask students to operationally
define other tobacco/tobacco substitute products.
Snapshots
o Analytics Under Delivers Compared to its Hype…(Image: Pie chart of State of Data
Analytics)…An MIT/Sloan Management Review and SAS report on data analytics users

Caption: Apply deductive and inductive reasoning to the image to develop conclusions about

Besides a great discussion about reasoning, this exercise can bring out biases about age and

PulsePoint: Published research reveals many ways that businesses use research. You might use such
research findings to discuss a current phase of the research process or a current issue.
34…The percent of employees who never consider what their bosses, clients, or colleagues think
before posting to a blog, discussion forum, or social network.
In an environment where social media communication can make or break a firm‘s reputation,
this statistic reveals the need to have employee policies related to social media. You might use
this finding to stimulate a discussion on how organizations might use research to develop such
policies and how research might track employee compliance.
Industry Thought Leadership: Use these quotes to discuss a current issue related to the chapter.
―As big data increases, we see a parallel growth in the need for ‗small data‘ to answer the
questions it raises.‖
William C. Pink, senior partner
Creative Analytics
The above quote relates to the difference between data analytics and research. It‘s the perfect
opportunity to discuss the importance of each and the pitfalls of relying on only one:
―Research is creating new knowledge.‖
Neil Armstrong, Engineer and Astronaut
The above quote relates to the importance of discovery for its own sake, but also discovery for
a purpose. Anyone who saw the movie Hidden Figures (2016) can understand the importance
of applying established tools in new ways to new data, and using the perspectives of new
individuals to the race for space exploration. The engineers of NASA were attempting
something that had not been done before—a real dilemma—and needed not only visionary
leadership but new hypotheses to accomplish this.
