The Case Method is aimed at developing a student's ability to confront and solve management issues. Cases are firsthand accounts of actual management situation.
Problems span operating policies, accounting methods, marketing techniques and management style.
These cases present a description of a problem along with the constraints and limited informatign available when a decision has to be made. Participants are asked to place themselves in the position of Managers described in the case and to perform, analyze and talce action without benefit of hindsight knowledge. Consequently participants have to make decisions, develop implementation plans and to explain and defend their actions. Through such exposure, participants not only learn to differentiate one situation from another and to recognize important components in each situation, but also to search out the unique aspect of the situation at hand. Involvement and cooperation from the participants are fundamental to the Case Method.
