  21. Enterprise “Enterprise is making things happen, having ideas and doing something about them, taking advantage of the opportunity, and bringing about change”. Paul Kearney, Scottish Enterprise, 1994

  22. Learning by Doing to Enable Learning for Life • The session provides examples of activities to engage with business school undergraduate and postgraduate (pre-experience / taught) students. In all cases the intention was to build student engagement in learning, and as a result to help them develop their skills and to enable learning for life. All the ideas have a foundation in the idea that management is a craft and that effective management is in essence a set of skills (teamwork, communication etc) as set out in the graduate skills framework. This perspective draws on many sources including work by Mintzberg (Managers NOT MBAs, 2004) The examples are drawn from induction and three different modules. They are presented simply as examples of learning by doing to enable learning for life.
