Case Method


3 steps to develop the management skills effectively by using case method

Management requires a wide- range of skills: analytical skill, logical thinking skill, presentation skill, and leadership skill. NUCB Business School develops these skills through the case method, in which participants repeatedly follow the three major steps: preparation, group discussion, and class discussion.

  • STEP 1

    Individual preparation: case interpretation, hypothesis generation

    Participants receive the casebook in digital format 2 weeks before the class begins. They read the case and examine how a company succeeds or struggles. They need to complete their preparation by generating a hypothesis and considering questions assigned before the class, referring to the text and recommended books as prescribed by the course instructor.

  • STEP 2

    Group discussion: reach the conclusion through many discussions

    Participants start from the group session. They break into small groups as instructed beforehand, and each group goes into a group room to consider the hypotheses and analyses of each member, debating opinions and answers to assigned questions. Each member clears their thoughts and get a deeper understanding of the case.

  • STEP 3

    Class discussion: pursuing the best management decision in the class

    Participant discussion is facilitated and evaluated by the course instructor, who uses polls and discussion questions to encourage discussion, pushing participants to consider how a company in a scenario should proceed and fielding reactions to responses from other participants. This clash of opinions from different perspectives leads to deeper consideration of differing perspectives and approaches to a problem. The ultimate goal of case method is not reaching one conclusion as a class, but encouraging reflection on individual attitudes and approaches in preparation for situations similar to those in cases that they have studied and debated.


  • Case Method

    Managers are required to have logical and creative thinking as a leader. The case method enables budding professionals to obtain these skills through preparation for the courses, group work, and class discussions.
