Abstract

This essay examines strategies for thoughtfully integrating generative AI (Gen-AI) into management curricula to enhance student learning while mitigating risks like overreliance. We make the case that outright resistance is counterproductive; instead, management educators should embrace Gen-AI’s potential to create more engaging, experiential learning aligned with andragogical principles. We provide a conceptual framework mapping nine Gen-AI objectives to the principles of andragogy. A semester-long course example illustrates this framework in action through AI activities fostering autonomy, competence, and real-world application. Student surveys revealed overwhelmingly positive perceptions of Gen-AI integration and improved exam scores. However, dependence risks remain. The essay discusses strategies to enhance critical thinking, personal growth, and academic integrity. Overall, we propose that prudent Gen-AI adoption can enrich management education, but long-term vigilance regarding overreliance is vital.
