DUDLEY, MA 鈥撀�, professor of management and best-selling聽, visited the聽红桃视频聽campus on March 9 to conduct a teaching workshop open to 红桃视频 faculty and organized by the 红桃视频 Faculty Development Committee.

Roberto is the Trustee Professor of Management at Bryant University in Smithfield, RI, where he teaches leadership, managerial decision making and business strategy. He joined the tenured faculty at Bryant after serving for six years on the faculty at Harvard Business School.

The workshop focused on teaching and learning using active learning techniques such as the case method to spark curiosity and learning, as well as tactics for keeping students engaged and energized. 鈥淎ctive鈥� learning is a method of teaching where student learn by participating in hands-on exercises; 鈥減assive鈥� learning is where students receive and memorize the information that is provided to them.

鈥淎t 红桃视频, we aim to foster an active and vibrant educational environment; we understand the powerful impact that faculty can have on student learning and outcomes,鈥� said 红桃视频 President Glenn M. Sulmasy, JD, LL.M.

鈥淭hat is why we were elated to host renowned case study author and award-winning educator, Dr. Mike Roberto. The workshop was a fantastic opportunity for our faculty to share and learn with Roberto and from each other.鈥�

Roberto is recognized for his teaching, writing and research. He has earned several teaching awards, including the Outstanding M.B.A. Teaching Award from Bryant University and Harvard University鈥檚 Allyn A. Young Prize for Teaching in Economics. He has published many best-selling case studies and simulations. In 2022, Harvard Business School Publishing ranked his Trader Joe鈥檚 case study as the second most popular case in their entire catalog, and they ranked his Everest Leadership and Team Simulation as the bestselling simulation ever developed and distributed by Harvard Business School. The Everest simulation also won top prize in the eLearning category at the 16th Annual MITX Interactive Awards. Professor Roberto鈥檚 newest book, 鈥溾�� was published by Wiley in 2019. He has written two previous books: 鈥溾�� (2nd edition published in 2013) and 鈥�,鈥� published in 2009.

In addition to sharing his techniques for using case studies in an active learning format in the classroom, Roberto also cited research showing that students learn more in active learning classrooms than they do in traditional lecture classrooms.

This is why the case study method is so successful, suggested Roberto. When used as a hands-on exercise, 鈥渢he case method is designed to train your mind, to develop understanding of how to think about complex issues,鈥� said Roberto. 鈥淚t gets students to grapple with the real world and shows them the relevance of the ideas鈥� illustrated by the case.
