Why Teach with Cases? - Reflections on Philosophy and Practice

Business educators use cases to give students the experience of solving real challenges while standing in the shoes of real-life business leaders and asking -why?-. In this landmark new book, Gabriel also begins by asking -why?-: Why would anyone teach with cases? Why should adult students learn through cases? Why is case teaching important in the higher education classrooms of today-s world?

Readers will be guided through the different aspects of teaching and learning with cases in multiple contexts, and will come to understand the -why-, the pedagogy and underpinning philosophy of case teaching. This is the first book for educators that combines case pedagogy at a philosophical level with evidence from practical experience into a single volume. It is an implementation ready resource that converges with a time of change in the field of education, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
