Key components of a transformative pedagogy in acquiring an MBA

• Shift in perspective: The curriculum encourages students to critically examine their own assumptions, beliefs, and mental models, leading to a fundamental shift in their worldview and how they approach problems.

• Focus on self-awareness: It fosters deep self-awareness and emotional intelligence, which are critical for effective leadership and resilience in complex situations.

• Integration of critical reflection: Students are guided through a process that often involves confronting disorienting dilemmas, engaging in critical self-reflection, and rational discourse to build new meaning structures.

• Emphasis on adaptability and creativity: The pedagogy aims to develop capabilities like improvising, adapting, and innovating, rather than just accumulating knowledge.

• Real-world application: It emphasizes applying new insights to real-world problems through activities that go beyond case studies, often incorporating collaboration and social responsibility.

• Learner-centered and inclusive approach: The classroom becomes a space for learner-centered, inquiry-driven, and culturally responsive methods that are more inclusive and empowering.
