Case Research Method

Introduction

This course equips students with deep knowledge and skills in doing applied or action research. They will be given the fundamental diagnostic skills needed to identify and define problems existing in an organization. The skills need to be developed further as the research progresses and they will then be exposed to the techniques of systematically analyzing the problems, using appropriate tools and coming up with possible alternative solutions. Tools for solving problems are numerous but students will be trained to systematically identify and choose the appropriate ones depending on the field of case-solving identified (in the broad category of management, finance, operations, marketing and strategy). They will also be trained to write on the outcome of the case research from the consultant’s perspective.
