Developing a new generation of management educators for the new generation of leaders

CEEMAN’s IMTA (International Management Teachers Academy) program provides a unique opportunity for young faculty to develop their curricula, course design, teaching materials and particularly teaching skills and methods. The program is heavily based on the case method, including teaching with cases, case writing, and performance evaluation and feedback to students. It is also designed to improve competences and skills integral to specific managerial disciplines, and provides input essential in other areas of a faculty member's professionsl life, such as consulting, institution development and administration, and social responsibility.

The exchange of ideas and experience with colleagues from other countries is also an invaluable source of learning, and an effective instrument in establishing professional contacts and networks, additionally enhanced via the IMTA Alumni Association.

According to post-program feedback received by IMTA participants and their institutions, the effects of the program go far beyond individual professional career development. Its benefits also include an impact on the participants’ institutions and their respective stakeholders.

The most frequently stated program results are:

• improved educational skills
• development of new teaching materials
• new research project and doctoral thesis leads
• student (customer) satisfaction
• international case competition awards to IMTA alumni
• contribution to institution building
• greater international cooperation, faculty networking, and exchange
