ABSTRACT

In most MBA programmes (apart, obviously, from distance learning programmes) the classroom is the crucible. Information is exchanged, analysed, synthesized and discussed. Questions are asked and opinions are challenged. A classroom which does all these things is one which is well managed by the teaching faculty, but it is also one where every student plays his or her part in the information exchange process. When this happens, when twenty or thirty people concentrate, focus, bend their knowledge and mental energies towards a problem, discuss it, argue over it, and finally develop an answer, the atmosphere can be stimulating and electrifying.
