Advancing Management Education: Integrating Innovative Strategies and Best Practices in Curriculum Design

Abstract

The present research evaluates curricula development models in management studies for professional education and explores innovation and best practices. This cross-sectional mixed method study anchored on the pragmatic research paradigm entails a systematic review of the literature and conduct and analysis of primary data. The methodology consisted of two phases: A literature review of the steps taken in different countries to modify management curricula and empirical data obtained from questionnaires and dyad interviews. It also reveals that the latest processes, like using research-based approaches, applying theories through practical examples, interdisciplinary collaboration, and adopting current technologies in the teaching process, have proven to improve the efficiency of management education. The result also indicates a significant difference in the characteristics of successfully implemented activities; such participants had an average mean age of 43 years. Five years (SD = 6.31), and the mean years of experience of the nurses are 11. Education years: 8 years (SD = 4.96). Since the study concludes, it raises the notion that these innovative methods and practices must be adopted as critical components of high-quality management curricula. Some recommendations include leaving and building on the scientific rationale for teaching, using experiential learning, technology, industry involvement, and regular evaluation. Thus, this research contributes to the existing literature on developing the curriculum in the management field and offers guidelines for further investigation.
