Case studies are integral to business education. The case method builds critical thinking, problem solving, and analytical skills by engaging learners in real decisions. A teaching case presents a real situation built around a decision point drawing on fieldwork, interviews, and company data, and is accompanied by a teaching note with learning objectives and a discussion plan.
This session will introduce participants to writing teaching cases and the skills required to do it effectively.
