IIMA Working Papers from Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, Research and Publication Department

Abstract: The paper first discusses the process of drawing specifications of case materials required for achieving teaching objectives of a case course. The paper then goes on to discuss the process involved in establishing case leads and case writing. In the discussion of case writing it deals with the questions relating to the statement of case problem, disguise of the identity of the organisation, confidential nature of information and ‘Quid-proquo’ for case writing facility. It also discusses what details should be included in the case study to achieve its teaching objectives. The paper also discusses the institutional environment demanded for effective application of case method. It highlights the institutional tasks of building bridges between the management and academic world, creating an environment of experimentation and exploration with regard to the concept of management as a field of learning and pedagogy for training in decision making. The difficult task of reconciling the faculty’s personal objectives of creativeness with the institutional demands for ongoing problem related case and project research is also discussed. The paper also pinpoints some of the problems of case development in developing societies and new fields of management of agriculture and government systems.
