Abstract

The purpose of this paper is two fold - first, to provide two rather simple and effective exercises which can be used in introductory management classes to enhance students’ understanding of managerial work. The nature and advantages of these two exercises are discussed. Second, the paper aims to show how faculty members can enhance their efficiency and productivity by using non-teaching assignments (e.g. committee work) to strengthen their classroom performance.
