How the UNO Business College is preparing students for a workforce directed by it
Talking about it is easy. Using it effectively? This is the real challenge.
At the Uno Business Administration College (CBA), the faculty is doing more than just discussing he-they are introducing it into the subject, helping students sharpen their critical skills, decision-making and market analysis skills.
What is going on: Management professors Erin Bass, Dr. Erin Pleggenkuhle-Miles and Dr. Brent Clark is leading the charge at the UNO Business Administration College in preparing students to effectively integrate into their strategic decision -making processes. Their approach, implemented at both university levels and MBA, is not just about using it, but about promoting a model of hybrid decision-making-one that builds knowledge directed by Him critical thinking.
“When he broke a couple of years ago, Erin [Pleggenkuhle-Miles] And I was very thinking ahead. How can we potentially use some of these tools in the classroom? At that time, we were trying to help students with strategic decision -making. We found a whole research stream on hybrid decision -making that combines and recognition, so we thought to deliberately integrate both into a hybrid format for strategic decision -making, ”Dr. Bass said.
🔎 In the classroom
He is a brain storm partner for students in the UNO cornerstone business course.
👉 Students initially generate business ideas themselves.
👉 Then, they refine those ideas using chatgpt with target stirring, such as:
- What is the most lucrative business idea?
- What has the slightest competition?
- What does omaha make sense?
The result? A hybrid decision -making process where it ignites ideas, but students apply their knowledge of subjects to evaluate feasibility.
Example: A group considered a pizza oven. He suggested it as a lucrative venture, but students recognized logistical challenges – as operational restrictions – that would make it inaccessible.
“He provided opportunities, but student business opinion helped them determine what was actually applicable,” explained Dr. Bass.
But it’s not just about business ideas – students are learning to Get creative with the means of that.
A task in the class of Dr. Clark challenged students to create something impressive using it. Results?
- A deep style video of Dr. Clark Notes A+ to everyone.
- A Star Wars-Harry Potter Mashup Poem, read with Hermione’s voice using audio generated by him.
- A country song for their business course, complete with texts and vocals created by him.
A key lesson: Rapid engineering matters. Students who refined their incentives to him through numerous repetitions achieved the most impressive results.
“You are helping them train and learn how to create demands, how to interact with the generator and teach them to use it effectively,” said Dr. Clark.
A startling receipt was how few students actively used the tools of their subjects.
“When we started doing this, it was shocking to us how few students were using the generator in this way. Some had used it, but not to help them in their course. Some were worried about its use due to plagiarism or were not sure how to use it. Their education can have chatgpt with a list of ideas, but it is not useful without analyzing them. Pleggenkuhle-Miles.
🎓 He in the MBA strategy courses
For MBA students, integration of it was more inclusive, including a long eight-week project in a strategy class. Unlike students, students were required to engage with numerous generating means beyond chatgt. The task asked them:
✅ Use at least three tools of it to perform industry analysis.
✅ Critically appreciate the images created by it.
✅ Compare the findings with their research.
Through this process, they discover the limitations of it – such as outdated data – and learn how to refine the requirements for better results.
MBA students also explore it beyond chatgpt, using tools for creating sliding deck, data analysis and content generation. “They were initially puzzled when we asked them to choose their tools of Him,” Dr. Bass. “But it led them to explore beyond what they already knew.”
🧠 The three -step learning process he
The Uno Faculty is helping students build The true literature of him– not just using the tools, but by understanding them.
What is possible?
- Students begin by learning about the skills in industry – from marketing to finance to logistics.
- They storm of the mind how he could apply to real -world business challenges.
How to use it effectively?
- Students refine their demands of him, learning that unclear contribution produces poor production.
- They analyze the results by critically identifying the gaps, discrepancies and fur generated by it.
The meaning of the restrictions of it
- He is not OPINION– is simply generating reliable text or images.
- May be wrong– a notorious example: a lawyer was disciplined to quote wangle Legal issues generated by him in court.
- He can Sounds good but no substance-especially in strategic decision -making.
“If you have presented some business recommendations created by him for a CEO, they will light you,” said Dr. Clark. “That sounds smart, but there is very little depth.”
