Need & Motivation

Case Method has evolved as a very effective pedagogical tool in engaging students through real-life managerial decision-making scenarios. However, many academicians struggle to find suitable cases for their courses and wish to fill the gap by developing their own cases. Very often, they find the case-writing process very challenging. IIMCCRC’s past case workshops have underscored the need. IIMCCRC’s past case writing and teaching workshops have provided the requisite skillsets and hands-on practice to the participants in designing a case, collecting and organizing data from different channels and preparing teaching notes. This workshop offered by IIMCCRC of IIM Calcutta and Ivey Publishing is dedicated to meet this demand for handholding in case writing and creating an environment of mutual learning.

The workshop is open to all academic faculty at the degree-granting institutions, doctoral students, research scholars, case centre directors, case writers, industry consultants/analysts, corporate trainers and course designers.

Objective

IIMCCRC in collaboration with Ivey Publishing, is offering a workshop to cover various elements of case selection, preparation, teaching notes, delivery, and evaluation as they apply to the case based classroom. The workshop aims to help participants develop skills for writing highly effective cases through a participative and feedback-oriented approach. Over the course of the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to work in a break out group on case assignments, and form it into the first draft of a case and teaching note. The workshop will be supported by a case writing format that provides structure and exercises, and guides participants through the case writing process.
