Magnetic Tower: Within and Between-Team Collaboration Experiential Exercise
McDonald, Aaron T.; Pulaski, David; Heidl, Ralph
Journal of Education for Business, v98 n6 p338-346 2023
Despite collaboration being integrated into business education, challenges remain in preparing students to collaborate in modern organizations. This challenge is partially due to educators primarily focusing on within-team collaboration while, due to increased work complexity, organizations have moved to multiteam systems which also require between-team collaboration. Therefore, we developed the Magnetic Tower, which integrates within and between-team collaboration in an experiential learning exercise. In this exercise, teams implement within-team collaboration aspects such as communication, coordination, balancing members' contributions, and mutual support as well as between-team collaboration aspects such as boundary spanning, knowledge sharing, and integration to successfully complete the project.
