Case Method


Case Method
The teachings of strategy and policy cannot be without case analysis and discussion, it has been inculcated into it for many years. The case method provides a opportunity to move from a narrow, specialized view that emphasizes functional techniques to a broader, less precise analysis of the overall corporation.



Case analysis is practical in nature, because it presents actual business situations and enable you to examine corporations based on different criterias, problems and success stories. In case analysis you might be asked to critically analyze a situation in which a manager had to make a decision of long term corporate importance. This gives an experience to students of what it is like to face making and implementing strategic decisions.

Case Study
A Case study is a description of the real life situation of an organization. Every case study has three parts which are
1) Introduction
2) Body
3) Conclusion.

There are two types of cases
1) Comprehension type
2) Critiquing a passage ie applying all the knowledge you have gained.

A case study depends on the logicality of an argument. There is no right or wrong answer in a case study.

Some steps in case study analysis include:
1) First give the historical background
2) Identify the business environment of the case
3) Identify the problems that are connected or interconnected
4) Discuss the challenges
5) Discuss the problems
6) Suggest solutions
7) Recommend the best solution to be implemented.
