London Business School faculty rewarded for innovative teaching
Michael Hay and John Mullins win Academy of Management award for 'Discovering Entrepreneurial Opportunities'
Professors Michael Hay and John Mullins from London Business School have been awarded the Academy of Management Entrepreneurship Division Innovation in Teaching Award, sponsored by McGraw Hill.
The award was given in recognition for their Discovering Entrepreneurial Opportunities course on the MBA programme at London Business School.
The award is given for the development and implementation of an innovation in entrepreneurship pedagogy, with entries also judged on the successful dissemination of the innovation, with support from students and alumni considered by the awarding committee.
John Mullins, Associate Professor of Management Practice in Entrepreneurship, says: "We're grateful that the Academy of Management has added this accolade to the growing list of strengths of the world-class programme in Entrepreneurship at London Business School. Entrepreneurship is a key reason why so many of today's top students choose London for their MBAs or EMBAs."
Discovering Entrepreneurial Opportunities is a core course for first-year MBA students at London Business School. Students develop discovery and decision-making skills that will benefit them whether in a business or as an entrepreneur, by being able to discover and satisfy customer and business needs.
The award was presented at the Academy of Management Conference in California.
