Learning by Case Method

Learning by the case method by John S. Hammond explain that this is the most relevant and practical method to learn about managerial skills. I agree. Initiating the discussion of real-life situations allows readers to put themselves in the position of managers facing difficult condition. This permits the readers to analyze the event, come up with the best applicable approach, and provide an opportunity for them to share their insights with a group of people who all can contribute to the discussion. I find this methodology to be more effective than reading and rote-memorization from a text book. Readers might be able to ascertain the theoretical and philosophical information of situations, but confronting the event heads-on in real-life is a different story. I look forward to our conversations in class pertaining to this subject.
