| Abstract: | Effective use of information is a key component of the manager's job. In a business environment burdened by information overload, the question for MBA programs is how to provide instruction so their graduates have the necessary foundations in this skill. Business managers use information during the decision-making process, so students need to learn about and build the capabilities to use information effectively. Many information professionals at business schools have been investigating ways to effectively impart these skills. The instruction described, using the case method and coteaching with a faculty member to introduce information skill development, adds to this work. |
