Working for the Common Good

📖 The Scoop

The articles in this volume, 15th in a series of monographs on service learning and the academic disciplines, show how student learning can be enhanced by joining management theory with experience and management analysis with action.

Godfrey); (3) "Transforming Management Education: The Role of Service-Learning" (Sandra Waddock and James Post); (4) "Management Students as Consultants: A Strategy for Service-Learning in Management Education" (Amy L.
