International Business Pedagogy Workshop

Tamer Cavusgil, Filip De Beule, Nukhet Vardar, Hinrich Voss, Attila Yaprak

This workshop provides a forum to learn about the latest innovations in case study thinking, to discuss case study development and related student assessment and also to share good practice.

Case studies have been used in business education for decades. The rich context they are able to provide concerning the behaviour of firms offers students valuable insights into the complexity of business, provides students with a means to apply or test theories against real life scenarios and also creates opportunities for students to critically evaluate problems or outcomes and to come up with solutions.
