Abstract
ABSTRACT Borrowing from Yale School of Management, we call this new approach the raw case method of learning. Unlike a traditional case study, a raw case is not confined in print or pages of a narrative about a challenging international business situation. It is an open, real-time information space through which case study students may wander. But it also comes with a specific and demanding assignment that requires students to discover, evaluate, analyze, decide, and communicate. This is indeed how managerial decisions are made in the real world of international business. It is more difficult today when the impact of business must be understood and managed against the backdrop of the changing global political, economic, social and technological landscape. It is also, in our view, geared to transformational management education that coincides with the shared aspiration for our profession, as outlined in the new AACSB Vision (www.aacsb.edu/vision/infographic). In this paper, we introduce the raw case method of learning, make a case for its adoption in international business education, and discuss several implementation issues.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Teaching in International Business instructs international business educators, curriculum developers, and institutions of higher education worldwide on methods and techniques for better teaching to ensure optimum, cost-effective learning on the part of students of international business. It is generally assumed that the teaching of international business is universal, but that the application of teaching methods, processes, and techniques in varying socioeconomic and cultural environments is unique. The journal offers insights and perspectives to international business educators and practitioners to share concerns, problems, opportunities, and solutions to the teaching and learning of international business subjects.
