Objectives of the Course

  • The objective of this course is to familiarize the students with the business environment conditions prevailing in India and international and understand its implications to business. Case method is instruction that utilizes descriptions of actual situations to develop a discussion among students and teacher. These case descriptions are usually written. The case method is an effective tool of teaching learning process, where students develop their ability to take decisions in actual professional situations. The intent of the case method is to narrow the gap between theories and practice by giving certain situations. Situations given in case are expected to be analyzed by students through their creative thinking so as to get the conclusion. Conclusion is about findings and suggestions forthe improvement and providing alternative solutions to the existing problems in given situation. Through case studies, students can develop their own problem-solving and decision-making skills. In this exercise students develop new ways of thinking.
  • Comprehensive, multidepartmental, and multi-industrial cases that present real life situations place the student in the role of an analyst. In case studies, students read a written case in advance. The case may or may not be accompanied by theoretical or an analytical framework.Sometimes the theory is given in lectures before, during, or after the case discussion.
  • Students are expected to read the case in advance, analyze it, reach a conclusion, and thencome to class prepared to join with their classmates.
