Case Study

A case study portrays a business dilemma faced by a person in an organization. It focuses on a real business scenario with all its complexity, stakeholders, and competing interests. A case study never has an obvious solution but offers up enough information for students to make assumptions and good decisions.

Mini Case Study

A mini-case is a shorter version of a case study and is generally 2-4 pages. It provides only relevant facts and offers more teaching flexibility as it can be used independently or in combination with other teaching materials.

Conceptual Note

Teaching Tool

Teaching tools are additional assets for faculty such as slide decks, instructional guides or other support-focused materials.

An exercise can take the form of a quiz, problem sets, structured examinations, or other in-class activity and often serves as a practice and evaluation tool.
