“Because I Highlighted it in Green”: Knowledge Bounded Teaching in the Classroom

Abstract

This paper examines the utilization of Bloom’s taxonomic classification system in combination with institutional factors impacting teaching and learning in business schools. Graduates leave business school with the ability to highlight the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of a business case, without truly being able to use analytical and problem-solving skills. Sadly, graduates are left unaware that they have become masters of the HHO method of business analysis: Hunting, Highlighting and Opinionating.
