Real World Problems

Case studies are used to guide students’ natural curiosity-driven learning instead of traditional content-heavy lectures. In collaboration with Dr. Marta Cerruti and one other co-teacher, I developed case studies for the undergraduate pre-requisite course “Analytical and Characterization Techniques” (MIME 317) to teach the material characterization concepts such as Atomic Absorption or UV/Vis spectroscopy in case-study driven manner.  The process included understanding the professors’ desired learning outcomes and finding journal articles that used such concepts to solve real-world problems.  Then, I developed handouts to simplify the complicated concepts presented in the articles and crafted questions that students with no background knowledge could still answer given the information provided and the figure/graph from the article.  Finally, in delivering the case studies in class, I facilitated group discussion and found that guiding the discussion based on the students’ curiosity deepened their understanding of the subject.

A new type of case study, called the real-time case (RTC), was produced in the fall of 2001 and distributed via the Internet to business classes at four universities in the US and Canada. The real-time case presented the story of one company's growth and development throughout a 14-week semester. A case writer stationed full-time at the subject company published case installments weekly on the Web, allowing students to view the company-building process as it happened. The 14-week coverage of RTC enabled students to study the subject company in unprecedented depth and detail. RTC's real-time interactivity allowed students to share their analyses and best thinking with the company leadership during the company’s decision-making process.A major objective in producing the case was to heighten student engagement with the case material. To evaluate whether this objective was achieved, a survey and a focus group discussion were conducted with one of the participating MBA classes. Results from the survey and the focus group showed a high degree of engagement, plus many other benefits from the new type of case study.

Case Study Teaching

The traditional published case studies have been successfully used in marketing education for decades. However, recent changes in marketing practice, prompted by disruptive changes in the marketplace, highlight their shortcomings as an educational instrument. To remain relevant and deliver the desired learning outcomes, new or modified approaches to case-study teaching might be necessary. This chapter is structured as follows: first, the changes in business environment and their impact on marketing education is discussed. Second, the advantages and shortcomings of the traditional published case study as an educational instrument in marketing are presented. Third, new approaches to case study are critically evaluated. These are live case, participative case writing, and web-based cases.

The Subject

As part of a research project on the determination and use of quality-related costs, case study work has been carried out at four manufacturing companies. This paper presents the major findings from each case study. A measure of the status of quality costing is that it is not featured in the quality manuals at any of the four companies. The aspects of quality which will need to be developed if the subject is to be raised to the level enjoyed by other major business parameters are outlined.

Mediating Role

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to understand the impact of real, localized case studies on students’ learning engagement, the learning process and learning experience and the role of such case studies in influencing students’ learning outcomes. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected from 400 undergraduate students through an online questionnaire immediately after discussion of the case in Business Information Systems classes. Student learning from the case study was measured by two components consisting of case knowledge and case perceptions. The student course engagement questionnaire was used to examine engagement in skills, emotions, participation and performance while the study process questionnaire was administered to assess students’ learning approaches. Additionally, the seven predominant roles of the feedback were used to analyse students’ learning experience. Finally, students’ learning outcomes were assessed both in group performance and individual performance. Structure equation modelling was applied to test the causal model. Findings – The results revealed that the case study had a positive influence on students’ engagement in skills and emotions. Moreover, case perceptions led students to surface approach in their learning. Furthermore, case knowledge had a positive impact on the learning experience. Research limitations/implications – The study suggests that localized case studies should be designed cautiously. Furthermore the method of instruction regarding the method must be clearly explained for undergraduate students. Future research should consider a way of evaluating academic achievement as a result of using localized cases. Originality/value – The findings reported in the paper contributed to an area of educational research by emphasizing on the mediating role of learning engagement, the learning process and the learning experience.

In the earlier days, syllabi were designed by some experienced teachers or experts who got specialization in particular areas in all the education institutions. The students were graded on the marks scored in the assessment in which some students might score high and some might not be. This type of previous curriculum did not ensure what students need to learn or what they are learning in their classrooms. University Grant Commission (UGC) under MHRD, Government of India, has already submitted the final draft under “Quality Improvement Programme, 2018” aim at the development of “Learning Outcomes Based Curriculum Framework (LOCF)” at UG and PG Levels. The learning outcomes are designed to help students understand the objectives of the course provided to them. It is a framework based on the expected learning outcomes (such as disciplinary knowledge, communication skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, analytical reasoning, research-related skills, etc.) that are expected to be attained by the students at the completion of their graduation. In this research paper, the researcher attempts to elaborate about Curriculum designing based on the approaches provided by J.C. Richards and Learning-Outcomes based Curriculum Framework. This research paper also has taken into consideration the analysis of curriculum development for the subject offered by Department of English in Faculty of Commerce at first year undergraduate courses (UG Level) from the academic year 1979-80 till 2019-20.

Research Question: RQ1: What is fraud? RQ2: Where do we find fraud? It is fraud a multidisciplinary element? Why? Motivation: Most of the literature states that fraud is a topic of great interest, but no one has tried to prove why, but also to show how much interest in publishing about the subject of fraud has increased. Idea: Our study looked at an  international database (Web of Science) to demonstrate the growing interest in studying fraud  in various fields. But we also did a case study presenting a complex case of fraud, discovered by DGAF in Romania. Data: The data were collected from Web of  Science database and an analysis was made based on the 17,825 results found when searching for the word "fraud", and then we also did a case study presenting a complex case of fraud, discovered by DGAF in Romania, collecting data by direct observation of one of the authors. Tools: To test study’s hypotheses, we analyzed the Web of Science database. Findings: The results answer in the affirmative to the research question. Also, the implications of the results are that all actors can outline an overview of the phenomenon, but especially reveals the gaps in the discovery of the phenomenon. Contribution: Most of the literature states that fraud is a topic of great interest, but no one has tried to prove why, but also to show how much interest in publishing about the subject of fraud has increased.
