Cases may be real or virtual but these do offer an insight into real life problems with the ease of transition from classroom to real workplace. Daly College Business School organised a one-day virtual international case writing workshop “Anveshak” that observed more than 350 registrations when Dr. Girish Agrawal, an Ex IIM Indore and IRMA leading Professor conducted the same on April 17, 2021.

He enlightened upon how to write a case with a particular motif around which the entire case should revolve, what is a case template as well as commented on effective writing style and gathering background information from primary and secondary resources. How to explore your area of interest, whether in a company or a protagonist and how to lead a case were insightful points to raise participants’ curiosity.

Dr. Agrawal highlighted important characteristics of the case writing.While answering a query he categorically advised one participant from philippines that the researcher can take situation to study the same comprehensively for his study purpose.The Case issue is studied intensively i.e., it is studied in minute details and it may extends over a long period of time. For case writing the approach happens to be qualitative and not quantitative. Mere quantitative information is not collected. Every possible effort is made to collect information concerning all aspects of the case issue. In respect of the case writing researcher should make an effort to know the mutual inter-relationship of causal factors.

Dr Agrawal shared the tips of KSA ie Knowledge, Skills and Attitude which are the core tools to learn from a case.
