Design and Implementation of Project-oriented and Task-driven Teaching Model——Take Logistics Strategy Consulting as an example

The course Logistics Strategy Consulting has the characteristics of strong practicality, strong comprehensiveness and emphasis on analytical thinking. The traditional classroom teaching model has been difficult to adapt to the teaching requirements of this course. At the same time, in the context of higher education reform, a new “project-oriented, task-driven” teaching model came into being. The implementation of the logistics strategy consulting course based on the new teaching model can effectively improve the practicality of course teaching and stimulate students’ comprehensive analysis ability to achieve higher teaching quality. In this regard, the following article discusses the design and implementation of the “project-oriented, task-driven” teaching mode of the “Logistics Strategy Consulting” course, in order to lay a good foundation for the further promotion and application of this teaching model.

Elitism in Strategy Consulting: How Institutional Prestige Influences Recruitment

How and why do strategy consultancies prioritise graduates from elite universities, and is this practice doing them more harm than good? The association of top strategy firms with elite universities is well-known, but this study suggests that the practice is done more for signaling and ‘fit’ reasons than for recruiting outstanding talent. Using anonymous interviews with recruiters, partners, and consultants at strategy firms, and drawing on Bourdieu’s theory of cultural capital, this paper suggests that these practices may do more harm than good.

3-Step Charrette: A Framework for Teaching Students to Solve Complex Problems in a Real-World Environment

The 3-Step Charrette problem-solving methodology turns the classroom into a consulting firm. It trains participants to solve complex, real-world problems cooperatively and systematically. Participants identify needed information and perform several research cycles in teams to gain knowledge to examine the root causes of a presented problem. Participants then re-form into different groups to find solutions, ultimately consolidating their chosen solutions into a plan of action. The jigsaw transposition from research teams to solving groups ensures that participants acquire needed expertise and properly characterize the problem before attempts to fashion solutions even begin. As participants follow the procedure, the instructor guides them using in-stream debriefing. Designed for use with a live client, this experiential exercise is useful for capstone, strategy, consulting, design thinking, and business architecture courses.
