Business schools do not always act on their own advice, but Warwick Business School in the UK is now diversifying, being entrepreneurial and tapping into its creativity, all at the same time.
It is using its established online technology to help high-school teachers interpret Shakespeare’s plays through a partnership with another local not-for-profit business: the Royal Shakespeare Company.
From September, teachers of English literature from San Francisco to Sydney will be able to study how to teach the Bard’s work through an online network set up by the RSC education unit in Stratford-upon-Avon, 15 miles from Warwick. “It gives the RSC the ability to reach out to literature teachers around the world,” says dean Mark Taylor.
