| Abstract: | The authors question whether it is possible to educate managers according to linear principles based on Newtonian laws and to expect them subsequently to operate successfully in a world of increasing change and complexity where non-linear prosesses dominate. They explore this with the perspective of complexity science and through their experience and reflections on recent examples which have arisen in their teaching practice. They argue that the increasing focus on outcomes in learning/teaching practice, both as a measure of learning and of quality in teaching, closes valuable areas of the learning/teaching experience to all participants in the process. |
