Abstract:

Teaching students to understand, debate, and solve problems is one of the largest challenges educators face in business education. Creating an interactive and integrated learning environment is one of the largest challenges universities face in Finnish society. Due to feedbacks Turku School of Economics (TSE) decided to increase the integration between subjects by approaching the study of business from modern, processbased point of view. One reason for this was that TSE aims to be an internationally recognized actor in the development of business expertise and it has defined interactive teaching and learning methods as a key success factor. This paper describes the process and the present status quo of the developed network of interactive and integrative learning (NIIL) in business studies. The NIIL has been real success case and rewarded several times. Furthermore, the paper proposes some improvements proposals for the networks like the NIIL.
