A Decade Of Service-Learning: A Review Of The Field Ten Years After Jobe’S Seminal Special Issue, Amy L. Kenworthy-U'Ren
Amy L. Kenworthy
This article reviews developments in the field of service-learning, both in terms of general management education and business ethics specific courses, over the past 10 years. Using the 1996 Journal of Business Ethics special issue on service-learning as a benchmark, numerous accomplishments are presented and continued barriers are discussed. Finally, three issues are raised as next steps for service-learning authors and practitioners as we move forward into the next decade: (1) designing effective and sustainable university/community partnerships, (2) addressing problems stemming from the conspiracy of courtesy, and (3) optimizing the intersection between online learning and service-learning.

In doing so, she addresses the fit between service-learning and recent calls for change in teaching negotiation; discusses issues related to student learning, course design, and faculty member involvement; and provides sample reflections from past service-learning negotiation students.

No More Reinventing The Service-Learning Wheel: Presenting A Diverse Compilation Of Best Practice “How To” Articles, Amy L. Kenworthy, Charles Fornaciari
Amy L. Kenworthy
Extract: In terms of the management education literature, to date there have been a number of special issues on service-learning, each filling an important need and directed at a targeted audience. That said, what none of these issues has done, and yet what we know is a pressing need for management educators, is to present a diverse set of “how to” templates for practitioners interested in either engaging in service-learning for the first time or refining and expanding their current work in this domain. The goal of this special issue is to fill that void—to showcase a detailed set of …

Service-Learning And Negotiation: An Educational "Win-Win", Amy L. Kenworthy
Amy L. Kenworthy
Negotiation is one of the most popular elective business courses offered across tertiary educational programs today. Yet, in many undergraduate and graduate programs, the "practice" of negotiation takes place solely through role-plays and simulations. The purpose of this article is to provide a "how to" template for negotiation instructors who are interested in extending their students’ experiences beyond the sole use of in-class role-plays and simulations into the real world. The project described in this article is a semester-long, undergraduate service-learning group consulting project that has been used and refined over an 8-year period.
