In psychotherapy practice and training, single case study design plays an indispensable role by effectively articulating the application of textbook knowledge, thereby bridging the gap between theory and practice. This article, on similar lines, illustrates one such successful example of the application of the classical behavioral technique of covert conditioning modified with a component of verbal challenging. A woman in her late-thirties reported with long-standing seemingly-resistant-to-treat symptoms of aggressive behavior of beating children. The client had a total of 10 daily sessions of 60–90 minutes each. By the end of one week, she reported not beating children in this period. She felt extremely relieved because it had happened for the first time in 10 years. The intensity of anger had decreased drastically, and she was not shouting any longer. She had to discontinue sessions abruptly due to unavoidable circumstances. Although she was suggested to follow up the intensive sessions again, she was not able to do it due to feasibility issues. The improvement was maintained on follow-up visits after two weeks, four weeks, and three months.

This paper examines the enablers that influence the implementation success of target cost management (TCM) in the Malaysian context. A single case study was carried out at an automotive company in Malaysia. Using the innovation diffusion theory, this paper explains the key enablers that may influence the successful implementation of TCM in the Malaysian context by conducting a survey and interviews within the case company. The findings show that only teamwork, top management support and commitment, and training are the significant enablers for the successful implementation of TCM in the case company.  This study provides an initial understanding of the critical factors that influence the successful implementation of TCM in the Malaysian context. The findings suggest that priority should be given to human-related factors, such as teamwork, top management support, and training to support TCM practices. As the findings are based on a single case study, the findings are of more relevance when the intention is one of particularization. Teamwork has contributed to the successful implementation of TCM in the case company because it is under a joint-venture agreement with a Japanese company. Employees tend to be more disposed to some aspects of Japanese culture, such as high in collectivism.
