“…For instance, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which is crucial to location analytics and became vital for supply chains during COVID-19, is seldom covered in business schools. Ritchie et al (2023) sampled business schools and textbooks and found that less than 2% of business schools sampled offered a GIS-based analytics course and only three of 12 textbooks sampled mentioned GIS.…”

This empirical study evaluates the impact of faculty training in online teaching on perceived comfort, perceived effectiveness, and stress during the Emergency Transition to Online Learning (ETOL) caused by COVID‐19. Survey data revealed a positive relationship between training in online teaching and perceived effectiveness during the ETOL. However, this relationship is fully mediated by perceived comfort in teaching online, meaning training in online teaching significantly increased faculty perceived comfort, which in turn increased perceived effectiveness. Relative to their counterparts, faculty who agreed that the ETOL was stressful were significantly more likely to cite working from home distractions and a lack of physical resources as the greatest challenges. Going forward, our results suggest faculty should be trained in best practices in online teaching as a regular part of their development. Doing so would not only benefit online courses, but the tools used in online courses can also benefit faculty teaching in‐person courses. The emerging tools used in online courses can also serve to enhance teaching in emerging, technology‐based disciplines in business, such as digital marketing or business analytics. In addition to ongoing training, another best practice to prepare for a future ETOL would be to allow business school faculty to share what they have learned with other business faculty.

Facility placement is of strategic importance to most organizations as a well‐placed distribution center minimizes delivery costs and reduces fulfillment lead times, thus improving customer service levels. Because organizations value the location planning process, this teaching brief offers an exercise that analyzes the planning process using the center‐of‐gravity algorithm, a service area map, and real‐world constraints. The objective of the exercise is to identify two locations within a service area that minimize total network distribution costs. Our exercise is intended to complement standard course content and support instructors developing curricula for undergraduate operations management and supply chain management courses. Student‐based survey results indicate that the assignment enhanced classroom engagement and helped students better understand the complexities of location planning.

Incorporating technology into the classroom to facilitate learning outcomes is essential to preparing the next generation of macromarketers given the pedagogical importance of multiliteracies and digital storytelling. StoryMaps was the platform for a semester-long project of a global business course in which students created and presented a digital story of how a chosen company should be resilient in the face of changing and interconnected macro factors, as well as the societal and sustainability implications of its decisions. The quantitative and qualitative findings of the student outcomes are reported, including their learning about the complexity of multiple stakeholders and ethics and sustainability in business. The implications for how technology can be used to incorporate macromarketing into the business classroom are discussed.
