- Undergraduate students tend to struggle with courses offered in abstract fields such a Marketing Strategy, due to a lack of relevant work experience. As a consequence, the topic becomes difficult for students to comprehend. Based on a case study, this paper describes how the integration of the active learning technique of role play is used in an undergraduate course Cases in Marketing Strategy, in order to foster deep learning. Particular emphasis is placed on the seemingly overlooked area of role play progression. The role play setting is tri-sequel with a point of departure in three progressively more complex business cases for which empirical insight is available from three years of offering the course. Contributions include a discussion of progression on several levels within the sequential role play setting, and a role play model is offered as a tool for visualizing and analyzing sequential role play advancement in such courses. The paper is rounded off with recommendations for teachers in higher education that are interested in integrating sequential role play in abstract university courses.

- This study analyses business students’ decision to use Excel or not to complete assignments in a finance course at a Mexican University, and the affect on exam performance. The study adds to current literature in that there is a lack of such research on finance students in developing nations. After quantitative data was collected, qualitative information was obtained via interviews with some of the students to understand more about their decisions. The quantitative data showed that there was no effect on student exam performance between using Excel or not in completing assignments, and completing all assignments, regardless of whether Excel was used or not, improved the students’ exam performance. The qualitative information showed that students had different responses to having a choice of using Excel, and different approaches to using it. The implications for Finance instructors in Mexico and other developing nations are discussed.
