Teaching Business Concepts by the Use of Deliberate Metaphors

About Teaching Business Concepts by the Use of Deliberate Metaphors

This book discusses the underlying metaphors of some important business principles and terms and positive teaching effects from deliberately implanting those metaphors in business lessons. It introduces original metaphors creatively used in live webcast courses which introduce difficult economic concepts to netizens. The deliberate metaphor is considered to represent a new dimension of metaphor, the communicative dimension. The book explores the communicative effect of deliberate metaphors and proves its effectiveness in teaching difficult business concepts. This book explores different uses of deliberate metaphors designed to support the teaching of business concepts and discusses two teaching experiments done to explore their effectiveness. Results showed that a focused design using deliberate metaphors in the lectures improved test performance, while a scattered design using deliberate metaphors used in lectures significantly increased students' interest in the lectures.
