The Three-Pronged teaching approach was introduced to undergraduate business studies. It is mixed with the game, problem, and challenge-based learning strategy that aims to prepare business students to manage unexpected and complex global or industrial issues. It encourages an active and reliable learning environment that requires students' creative input, collaboration, and industrial involvement. This teaching approach uses an immersive learning method to introduce the "Student as Manager" model at higher education institutions. Therefore, the Strategic Management subject at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) implemented this teaching approach. The Course Learning Outcome result shows the subject performance was 75.1 percent. The teaching approach is beneficial for undergraduate students to get to know about industrial phenomena with 21st-century learning skills.
