Purpose – Reviews and criticizes the pedagogical methods used in management education and development. Design/methodology/approach – Looks at why management education courses are lecture-based with the active learning being restricted to the analysis of case studies and participation in simulations. Argues that practice-based pedagogies are more effective and analyses why these have not been taken up by management educators.Article type: ViewpointISSN: 1350-5076Reference: 38AX829
