The absence of teaching how to teach during the business management PhD programme: A call to action

Abstract

Teaching students how to teach during business management PhD programmes is often neglected by administrators and graduate professors. I believe that if a doctoral programme is to increase in strength, as well as properly prepare graduate students for academic positions, this type of neglect needs to be addressed. As such, I propose a call to action that will allow doctoral students to gain the necessary skills needed in order to more successfully learn to teach.
