ABSTRACT: The aim of our paper derives from the necessity of adopting teaching strategies
that fit better with the students’ professional skills. The scope of our paper is to investigate
those teaching strategies that can be adopted in Romania in order to help students to gain
more professional skills. We identified most recommended teaching strategies applied
worldwide. Then, based on constraints identified at Romanian university level, we filtered the
teaching strategies in order to find those that can be applied successfully in Romania. We
found that intergroup discussion/class debate, teaching stories, teaching using PPT, games,
problem based learning, lecture & discussion, JIT teaching and case studies are strategies
that can be applied successfully in our business universities.

Key words: teaching strategies, constraints in teaching, international education standards
