Pre-conference Workshop on Case Method and Case Writing

Participative and collaborative learning has proven to be an exciting alternative to traditional management pedagogy as today’s students demand an active role in their own learning. Cases place students in real-life situations, encouraging them to come up with solutions to a plausible problem and be the active learners. The workshop is applicable for research assistants, doctoral students, instructors, lecturers, and professors of all management related disciplines as well as hospitality, health, and education. The workshop will cover general aspects of case teaching and writing, and specific areas such as new formats of cases, aligning case writing to develop qualitative, case-based research studies. As a teacher you will be inspirational and as a student you will be inspired. Attend our Case Method and Case Writing Workshop to become a part of the case writing community.
