Author(s):		Robin Teigland
Moderator(s):		Phelan Corrimal
Date		Friday, March 18 05:00
Location:		Central Auditorium

Abstract		One of the pedagogical focuses at the Stockholm School of Economics ( ) is to enable students to “go live” in their studies. As part of their coursework, students interact with practitioners such as multinational company executives and entrepreneurs to help them solve their real-world, real-time problems in what we have labeled “Live Cases”. As such, students make practical use —and sense—of the theories that are presented in their discipline-based courses. In this session, I will present some examples of how we have used Second Life in “Live Cases” within the areas of strategy and innovation.
