My Teaching Subjects

MBA and Online MBA Programs

In our MBA program, we use the case teaching method to conduct the class. we teach with case studies because the method embodies important values of professional education. The case method is not simply a technique; it is a rich philosophy about judgment, analysis, action, and learning (The preceding was adapted from an article by Robert F. Bruner). Case method trains students to think as administrators (rather than as scholars), so that they: (1) see a problem looking for solutions rather than a concept looking for applications, analyse, take action not merely a reporting of outcomes.
