The Case Study Methods in Business Education course provides a comprehensive and practice-oriented introduction to the design, analysis, and implementation of case studies as a core pedagogical and research method in business education. Designed for business educators, lecturers, trainers, curriculum designers, and academic practitioners, this course equips participants with the skills required to use case studies effectively to support applied learning, critical thinking, and decision-making.
The course begins with an introduction to the case study methodology, examining the case study approach, its theoretical foundations, and its relevance within business education. Participants develop a clear understanding of the advantages and limitations of case studies and how they differ from other teaching and research methods.
A central focus of the course is the development of effective case studies. Learners explore how to identify and select appropriate case study topics, structure business case studies clearly, and ensure alignment with learning objectives and programme outcomes. Emphasis is placed on authenticity, relevance, and realism to reflect contemporary business contexts.
The course then addresses case study analysis techniques. Participants engage with analytical tools commonly used in business case evaluation and develop facilitation skills to guide structured case discussions that promote evidence-based reasoning, collaboration, and reflective learning.
Implementation of case studies in the classroom is examined in depth. Learners explore case-based teaching strategies, methods for assessing student performance in case study assignments, and approaches to providing constructive feedback aligned with learning outcomes.
The course also considers the adaptation of case studies for online and blended learning environments, supporting flexible delivery while maintaining engagement and academic rigour.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to design, analyse, and implement high-quality case studies that enhance business education, support applied learning, and prepare students for real-world professional decision-making.
