Abstract

Shifting the scope and aim from teaching case journal to a focused research case journal is an uphill task. It often creates confusion for authors contemplating to write for a journal which has forever been known to accept teaching cases. However, this shift is essential if the quality of the cases is to be improved so that they not only describe a phenomenon but also contribute by filling gaps in the current knowledge. But then, what bridge may help authors, writing a teaching case, crossover and develop a research case? Before discussing that, it is vital to accept the fact that not all cases initiated as teaching cases can be changed into a research case. There are certain ground rules that are imperative if the basic idea of a case is to be shifted from teaching to a research case. Our previous editorial (SAJBMC Volume 9 Issue 3) noted that a research case should have a phenomenon that is being studied, a context it is being studied in and a theory that explains the happening in the phenomenon. However, it cannot be denied that the same aspects can be a part of teaching case as well. Hence, we need to further demarcate teaching and research case on a structural level. The major points of difference are thus discussed below.

界定教学与研究案例

将范围和目标从教学案例期刊转变为重点研究案例期刊是一项艰巨的任务。对于那些打算为一本接受教学案例的期刊写作的作者来说，这往往会造成困惑。然而，如果要提高案例的质量，使其不仅描述一种现象，而且填补现有知识的空白，这种转变是至关重要的。但是，什么样的桥梁可以帮助作者撰写教学案例，交叉和发展研究案例？在讨论之前，重要的是要接受这样一个事实，即并非所有作为教学案例启动的案例都可以变成研究案例。如果要将案例的基本思想从教学转变为研究案例，那么有一些基本规则是必不可少的。我们之前的社论（SAJBMC第9卷第3期）指出，一个研究案例应该有一个正在研究的现象，一个正在进行研究的背景，以及一个解释现象发生的理论。然而，不可否认的是，同样的方面也可以成为教学案例的一部分。因此，我们需要在结构层面上进一步界定教学和研究案例。因此，以下将讨论主要的差异点。

期刊介绍： South Asian Journal of Business and Management Cases (SAJBMC) is a peer-reviewed, tri-annual journal of Birla Institute of Management Technology, Greater Noida (India). The journal aims to provide a space for high-quality original research or analytical cases, evidence-based case studies, comparative studies on industry sectors, products, and practical applications of management concepts. The journal likes to publish problem-solving, decisional and applied types of cases. Such cases must have linkage with theory, at least one dilemma (also known as case issue) and a protagonist around whom the case issue will revolve. Publication of pure research, applied research and field studies with empirical data do not fall under the domain of SAJBMC. Fictitious cases are not welcome.
