Helping Students Organize an Increasingly Complex Information Flow: The Literature Review Exercise
Information flow is increasing and growing in complexity. It is often difficult, particularly for our undergraduate students, to organize and interpret this disparate information. This suggests our role as management educators has shifted from simply “sages on stages” towards facilitators of knowledge organization. This paper presents an exercise to help guide students learn a scalable process for creating a literature review, such that students can easily organize various concepts from scholarly literature to gain a holistic view of a topic. The practice of this exercise gives students skills that are transferable to other information flows.Author(s):
