An article by three faculty members in the Love School of Business has been published as the lead article in a leading business publication.
“Taking Student Engagement to the Next Level: The Enterprise Academy,” was written by John Burbridge, dean of theh Love School; Barth Strempek, associate professor of business administration; and Ken Paul, associate professor of business administration. The article appeared in the spring 2004 edition of the Journal of the Academy of Business Education.
The paper’s abstract reads:
“Encouraged by the current business environment, business schools are reexamining their programs with an eye toward experiential opportunities, active learning, curricula innovation and integration. A wide variety of approaches are being developed to enhance student engagement. Of particular interest is the Enterprise Academy (EA) concept. Funded by a grant from the U. S. Department of Education, the EA is an integrated business program utilizing new enterprise start-up as the linking mechanism. The EA addresses higher-level learning objectives (e.g., decision making, problem solving) to improve students’ business literacy and maturity.”
