Book chapter;
Management education is unique among the business fields because it is almost always
interdisciplinary. When planning to teach students how to search for information on these topics, I have noticed that a good portion of the relevant information comes from the business literature, of course, but another sizable portion is found in the psychology literature. This chapter outlines the business research activities in an information literacy session I have taught numerous times for various management courses, which can also be adapted for any assignment that benefits from interdisciplinary research.
