History
Use of the case study method originated in the early 20th century and was mainly used in the social sciences (medicine). Since there were no textbooks suitable for a graduate program in Business at Harvard University, the framework for the business curriculum was built on the case study method.
The case study method has now become more popular in Education (critical incidents).
Hospitality is rich with examples
It’s REALITY!
Why use Scenarios? (mini case studies)
More Reasons…
Create the need to know. Raise the level of critical thinking skills
(application/synthesis/evaluation, not recall. Enhance the listening/cooperative learning
skills. Enhance problem-solving skills. Help learners connect theory and practice. Provide a vehicle for examining multiple points
of view. Build partnership/collegiality among learners
and teacher. Encourage attention to and self-consciousness
about assumptions and conceptions. Help students see connection to their own
goals.
Some More Reasons…
Teach students that there may not be one "right" answer, after all.
Teach students not to overlook important details.
Get students to be active, not passive. Create a rich learning environment. Provide possibilities for all learners to be
successful in a variety of roles.
Let’s Get Started…
The case scenarios presented provide real “on-the-job” experiences and learning opportunities that utilize the following resources:
21st Century Skills
National Business Education Standards: What America’s Students Should Know and Be Able To Do In Business
National Standards for Business Education
21st Century Skills
Purpose
According to O’Halloran, Jarvis and Allen-Chabot (2006), by using case scenarios:
Build on knowledge
Comprehend complex situations
Apply theory
Analyze situations
Create solutions
Evaluate and select outcomes
A Framework forSolving a Case Scenario
1. Read the scenario.
2. Identify the relevant content.
3. Identify the problem or dilemma.
4. Identify the relevant facts. Differentiate between symptoms and problems. Identify the department where the dilemma takes place.
5. Which facts are most important for decision making?
6. Identify assumptions you may be making.
7. Generate plausible solutions for the case scenario. If there is no acceptable solution, then formulate a viable alternative.
8. Make a decision based on your solution. Explain your decision-making process used to solve the dilemma.
