Business educators use cases to give students the experience of solving real challenges while standing in the shoes of real-life business leaders and asking ‘why?’. In this landmark new book, Gabriel also begins by asking ‘why?’: Why would anyone teach with cases? Why should adult students learn through cases? Why is case teaching important in the higher education classrooms of today’s world?
Readers will be guided through the different aspects of teaching and learning with cases in multiple contexts, and will come to understand the ‘why’, the pedagogy and underpinning philosophy of case teaching. This is the first book for educators that combines case pedagogy at a philosophical level with evidence from practical experience into a single volume. It is an implementation ready resource that converges with a time of change in the field of education, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
