This panel symposium focuses on innovative experiential learning activities (ELA) that prepare management, entrepreneurship, and strategy students for a dynamic, complex, and global work environment. Panel members highlight ELA they employ—in and out of the classroom— that foster students’ ability to approach complex organizational issues creatively and prepare students to take creative approaches to address complex issues in organizations. The purpose of this symposium is to provide educators an array of ELA demonstrated to be successful in enhancing student self-awareness and promoting self-development, offer guidance in aligning learning outcomes with ELA, and engage the audience in a rich discussion regarding designing and implementing innovative ELA.
