2. About the Programme
In recent past, teaching approach across the globe has been transformed from teaching centric approach to learning centric
approach. Lecturing, the most popular way of teaching is no more effective as it gives very little scope for interaction and discussion.
Management Professors interested in discussion based teaching-learning realized that the case method of teaching can provide a
strong basis for developing students' problem solving and decision making abilities. Very often used in business schools across the
globe, the case method of teaching believes in presenting the participants with a case putting them in the role of a decision maker
facing a problem. The success in case teaching mainly depends on the quality and content of the case considered for teaching.
Creating an effective case study needs holistic thinking about how the content would match the level of understanding of the
participants and the concept in hand. But when it happens, a well constructed case study comes in to the reality that ensures
wonderful learning experiences and delivers rewards to participants and facilitator. Most of professors teaching in Indian business
schools find it difficult to get a good case written in Indian Business Context.This event is intended to encourage academia, research
