Planning and Implementing Shared Teaching: An MBA Team-Teaching Case Study

Abstract

Team teaching is a popular trend in business education. In an attempt to integrate seemingly disparate functional disciplines, a number of business programs have combined courses. Regardless of the courses combined (marketing and finance, management and accounting, economics and strategy, or production and cost accounting), the teaching pedagogy shares a number of challenges in both planning and implementation. In this article, the authors review the experiences gained from team teaching in an MBA program and offer suggestions for adoption, improvement, and implementation in other business programs.
