Learning and Researching with Case Studies A Student Companion for Business and Management Research

A lifetime of experience with case teaching is now translated into a practical handbook for students to improve there understanding of the case method and its value for learning. Scott Andrews has again produced a highly useful text, this time presenting a comprehensive and practical introduction of the case method for both undergraduate and postgraduate business and management students. The volume addresses the relevance of case teaching for their individual learning, presents practical tips for preparing cases, and highlights what students can expect to learn when they actively engage with various types of case studies.

This will definitely be a helpful book for those learning with cases in management programs to prepare students for working with case material, clarifying to students the key contributions case studies can make in their academic development and their individual learning, whilst also guiding them in effective preparation for class, increasing the value, effectiveness and fun of case teaching for both students and educators.
