The Business School has won a Bronze AMBA Business Education Award for Best Innovation Strategy.
The Business School has won a Bronze AMBA (Association of Master of Business Administration) and BGA (Business Graduates Association) Business Education Award for Best Innovation Strategy.
It was awarded to Prof Denis Fischbacher-Smith for his ‘Decision making under uncertainty: making a drama out of a crisis – using the Covid-19 pandemic as an integrated case study’.
Denis recast his MBA course, setting it within the context of Covid-19, and created an avatar and a series of animated videos to deliver it online. This unique and radical approach integrates academic content with cutting-edge pedagogy by using comics, storyboarding and visualisation to address uncertainty.
