About IFP

The International Faculty Program
The International Faculty Program (IFP) concentrates on teaching methodologies in management education, research and development of curricula. It is designed for faculty members of business schools worldwide. The overall aim of the program is to improve the general quality of management education.

The Case Study Method

The IFP introduces participants to the case study method, a dynamic pedagogical tool. Participants in the program also have the opportunity to gain new teaching competencies, improve their existing techniques and share them with other colleagues. During the four-week residential course, they also gain new ideas for curriculum and course design for implementation at their home institutions.

Other aims of the program are to:

• Improve participants’ communication skills through different teaching tools, especially the case study method;
• Expose faculty to new institutional structures that might lead to improvements in their home institutions.
