The “case method” is an approach to education and research that fosters
learning through in-depth observations in a field setting. Popularized
by its use at Harvard Business School, it is lauded for the way it
connects researchers to practice and fosters active learning. Informing
with the Case Method has been written as a guide to the faculty member
interested in applying the case method to teaching and research. It
differs from the many books on the case method already on the market in a
number of ways. Specifically, it assumes that its reader comes from an
institution that does not necessarily have a strong case method culture
and may be interested in applying the approach to areas outside of
business. Based upon the author’s wealth of experience, it answers
questions such as: • How does the case method differ from other uses of
case studies? • What types of cases are there? • What characteristics
may a subject a good candidate for the case method? • What are the
activities common to all case writing? • What activities are unique to
case method research? • What activities are unique to developing
discussion cases? • How are multimedia case studies developed? • How do
you design a case method course? • How do you facilitate a case
discussion? • Can the case method be employed effectively in an online
environment? The book concludes by showing how an integrated program
developing case and using case studies for research and discussion can
dramatically increase an institution’s impact on practice. Accompanied
by extensive appendices to illustrate different approaches to case
writing and samples that will be invaluable to both the inexperienced
and experienced reader, Informing with the Case Method will be an
invaluable guide to anyone seeking to energize their teaching and
research.
