The structures for active student engagement (SASE), a pedagogical tool presented in this paper and successfully applied in the EMBA strategy class, promises to be of substantial aid in harnessing students’ focus and effort for enhanced classroom engagement and minimizing their voluntary disengagement from classrooms. Moreover, the SASE is designed to contribute toward meeting several requirements from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, such as shifting classroom focus from teaching to learning, facilitating student-student interactions, and building skills in written and oral communication, analytical thinking, interpersonal relations, and teamwork.
