Thesis (M.B.A.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, 2004.
"June 2004 -- revised October 2004."
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 47-48).
Experiential Learning programs have increasingly been included in corporate training programs. Today there is a wide range of experiential learning programs using a variety of methodologies. However, there is a surprising dearth of research on the effectiveness of such programs for learning in business. This thesis reviews and analyzes one form of experiential learning--a program that utilizes outdoor activities for leadership and teamwork training--to understand the value proposition of such education for corporate clients. From this, a framework for implementing a successful experiential learning program was suggested and then analyzed by the design and delivery of a new, original experiential training program utilizing improvisational theater techniques. Finally, a method to evaluate experiential learning programs both before and after purchase is suggested.

Today there is a wide range of experiential learning programs using a variety of methodologies.

From this, a framework for implementing a successful experiential learning program was suggested and then analyzed by the design and delivery of a new, original experiential training program utilizing improvisational theater techniques.
