Course Formats for Teaching Management Consulting
Schmidt, Sascha L.; Richter, Ansgar
Journal of Education for Business, v82 n1 p56-62 Sep-Oct 2006
In this article, the authors introduce 3 different course formats for teaching management consulting at the university. On the basis of data from self-evaluation questionnaires from 159 students, the authors analyze effectiveness of these course designs in raising the self-confidence of participants to cope with the kind of tasks typically faced by entry-level management consultants. Despite differences in their design and format, the 3 consulting course types show similar effects in terms of the increase in self-confidence levels reported by students. (Contains 2 tables.)
