It was a great session, intensively highlighted innovative approaches to case teaching methodology. It made participants learn the theory behind developing a good case study and the guiding principles of writing case studies. After taking this workshop, we are very hopeful that the participants would have gathered a strong understanding for developing their own cases. This program was designed to bridge the gap in quality research and teaching skills required in contemporary management education in India. This program specially catered to the need of academicians and researchers to strengthen their teaching skills. This program provided a great understanding of management complexities, how to understand the ambiguities of business and to identify and get to the bottom of things to resolve the issues.”

The case study methodology help students and teachers hold rich discussions over different issues, glitches and common traps which emerge in regular business practices. It also showed how serval organisations resolved different challenges with a change of perspective, and some even turned them into growth opportunities. Hence, with the help of different scenarios presented in via different case studies, MBA students can enhance their problem-solving skills and decision-making abilities.
