Researching Networked Management Learning

Abstract

After a review of the dominant approaches that have been used to research networked learning, the article focuses on research that has been reported in the management education and learning literature over the period 1999–2002. The authors argue that, to date, despite the rising importance of networked management learning, it is a topic that has not received sufficient attention in the management education research literature. In addition, the methods and approaches used to research networked learning in the management education and learning field have arguably not been consistent with the educational principles and ideas supposedly associated with networked learning. The article concludes by suggesting possible fruitful agendas and approaches for future research and studies of networked management learning.
