Abstract
An exploratory study in the use of dialogic discussion with first year management education classes arose from one teacher's desire to 'breathe life' into a structured educational situation. Although there is a dazzling array of pedagogical tools and technologies available to management educators, choices in teaching strategy are severely constrained by the expediencies of time and established institutional processes. Drawing on the work of theorists such Buber, Freire and Bohm a series of 'dialogue sessions' were set up to give students the opportunity to engage in close reading of classic management texts and build shared meaning of these texts through conversational encounters in the classroom. The results of the teaching innovation were evaluated with the use of narrative feedback.
