Science fiction prototypes in educational and business settings

Fletcher, G; Greenhill, A; Griffiths, M; McLean, R

Abstract

This paper examines the intended purpose of Science Fiction Prototypes (SFP) in conjunction with the significance and use of workshops in business education. We explore why the SFP as a form of education delivery has proven to be popular. Finally we argue that the merits of alternative delivery methods, including the use of science fiction prototypes within different venues or alternative delivery methods can enhance educational engagement with broader audiences outside the traditional classroom setting.
