    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.
