PedagoLab@ESSECLaisser un commentaire

Parce que les défis de demain exigent des méthodes d’apprentissage innovantes, l’ESSEC place la pédagogie au cœur de sa stratégie. C’est dans cette optique de valorisation de l’excellence académique que la Fondation ESSEC lance un nouveau Prix du Cas Pédagogique.

Entretien avec Arthur Gautier, Professeur Associé au sein du Département Droit, Science Politique et Société, Doyen Associé en charge des Chaires, et chargé de la supervision des Prix de la Fondation ESSEC. 

Pourquoi avoir créé un prix pour récompenser l’excellence et l’innovation ?

Depuis sa création en 2011, la Fondation ESSEC soutient l’excellence académique et décerne chaque année des prix pour récompenser des professeurs dont les contributions académiques se distinguent par leur qualité, leur innovation et leur impact. Ce nouveau Prix du Cas Pédagogique s’inscrit dans cette tradition et a pour vocation de célébrer la publication récente d’un cas pédagogique (teaching case) exceptionnel conçu et publié par un professeur de l’ESSEC.

Corporate Strategy Meets AI: Debating the Future of Moltiply

PedagoLab@ESSEC

How a CEO digital twin turns corporate strategy into a live, high-stakes learning experience

By Ha Hoang, Associate Dean for Research at ESSEC Business School.

What happens when students stop reading cases and start talking to them? I developed a new AI-based case experience that invites learners to do exactly that with a digital twin of a real CEO to debate the future growth strategy of his company. 

Given the early state of AI adoption by educators, the format I describe below addresses two principal concerns. On the one hand, introducing AI into the classroom risks fueling students’ over-reliance on artificial intelligence. On the other, instructors are lamenting that students are less willing to engage with lengthy cases that are central to case-based strategy instruction. The CEO agreed to participate in the development of the case because he credited his business education with his success and saw an opportunity to help keep it relevant and engaging for new students.

This program is proposed to management faculty from partner business schools all over the world to rethink their teaching methods and improve their effectiveness as educators.

ESSEC selected me to participate alongside my colleague Rick Marchese. I was excited to learn from some of the best educators. I did not know exactly how I would be impacted by this program. How much would it change my views and practices as an educator at ESSEC?
