Abstract: This paper presents the application of experiential learning theory to the capstone strategic management course. The history of the capstone course is reviewed and the primary objectives for requiring this course discussed. Traditional methods of instruction for teaching the capstone course are presented, along with a discussion of the limitations of these approaches. The development of the Student Live Case is presented and advantages of this teaching approach discussed. The use of modeling to facilitate the experiential approach is described and student perceptions on the use of this technique are presented. Future research designed to compare the use of modeling with the traditional feedback approach is suggested.

Keywords: Experiential learning; capstone course; student live Case; collaborative problem solving; modeling.
