Encourage tinkering with ideas, relationships, connections. Set up situations where students have to find information not readily available in school texts. Provide opportunity for students to design open-ended explorations of the concept. Provide multiple options so students can plan a unique "proof" of learning.

Developing a ‘prospectus’ for each approach

Objective:

Activity: Participants then self select into four different ‘consultancy’ teams, each restricted to one organizational theory. Their task is to:
-develop a logo and name for their group
-develop a number of questions, congruent with their particular theory, to obtain pertinent information about an organization
-ask a particular manager these questions
-make recommendations to the manager, again within the parameters of the theoretical approach they were taking.
