Abstract

A case study, tells a story of interactions in an organization that exists in the present time, or has existed in the past. Parts of the case may be fabricated to allow access to the problems or successes that the organization has had. Such cases have been used in university classes for more than 100 years and aid in presenting to students access to ongoing situations that show the use of theories taught in lectures and thus aid in understanding how theory relates to practice in life. Usually, there is a serious problem that students should identify and through their research be able to present solutions to the problems. In most case usage, students will be assigned to teams to work together on solutions, and then to present their solutions either orally or in writing for their professor to critique and give the students additional insight about the case. The intent of the team arrangement is to get all of the team members to work together to find a solution.
