Study Notes
IU Case Study
- A case study is a practical problem situation that represents a concrete case, often with incomplete or unstructured information.
- Case studies promote important competences in solution-oriented thinking and decision-making.
- They train the practical transfer of theoretical knowledge and models learned in studies.
Structure and General Instructions
- A case study should follow a logical structure:
- Introduction (case context and explanation)
- Body (case presentation, processing, and solution)
- Conclusion (discussion and further transfers)
- The headings can be customized, but the structure should be clear and comprehensible.
Challenges and Features of Case Studies
- Case studies often lack details, simulating real-life situations.
- There is no right or wrong solution; the focus is on the process of finding a solution.
- Case studies require students to work independently and apply knowledge to a decision-making situation.
