The aim of this paper is to substantiate the process of enabling learning by students when facing radically new information in business and management studies. Starting from the introduction and the research methodology, the paper follows by referring to Piaget’s theory, which presents the accommodation process by explaining the formation of new thinking structures necessary for learning radical new information. The Seven steps educational process (SESEP) is then presented by using secondary analysis. The principles of the SESEP model were described by the authors in their previous study while researching the development of education students’ competence in using potential learning environments. Secondary analysis allows for a concentrated discussion, revealing how the SESEP enables students (who are studying for a master’s degree in education) to learn when they are facing radically new information. The results of interviews with experts (experienced teachers in business and management studies) are presented, which show the possibility to transfer the SESEP into a model for enabling learning by students when facing radically new information (ENARNI) in business and management studies. The discussion of the results leads to a more detailed justification of the model.

2020 metai visam pasauliui įsimins kaip įtempta kova su negalia – žmoniją apėmusia neviltimi, siekiant įveikti pandemiją sukėlusį virusą. Iš pradžių tai buvo tikra negalia nepajėgiant įveikti baisios pasaulį užklupusios negandos. Ji buvo kolektyvinė, supranacionalinė, nors paveikė konkrečius žmones. Netrukus šalys suprato, kad bus neįmanoma įveikti pandemijos stengiantis tai daryti pavieniui, tad imta vienytis. Rodos, bendromis pastangomis ji jau įveikiama sutelkus dėmesį į išteklius, kompetenciją.
