R. Lang, James et E. Dittrich, John, Information, Skill Building, and the Development of Competence: An Educational Framework for Teaching Business Policy, Academy of Management review , 7(2), 1982, pp. 269-279
A developmental approach based on education theory is proposed as a planning model for the business policy course. Structured on three levels each of information acquisition, skill building, and the development of competence, the framework integrates a variety of widely accepted pedagogical approaches and techniques-a macro perspective suitable for setting teaching objectives for the policy course.
