Paper Introduction:
A THEORY FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF AN ORGANIZATIONAL CASE STUDY FOCUSING ON CORPORATE STRATEGY
Introduction
This research develops a theory for the interpretation of an organizational case study focusing on corporate strategy to lead to inferences about organizational strategic direction and recommendations for future strategy. The theory is developed within the contexts of (1) defining the case analysis approach to learning, (2) forms of case studies, (3) learning through case analysis, (4) advantages and disadvantages associated with learning through case analysis, and (5) preparing case studies.
Defining the Case Analysis Approach to Learning
The case analysis approach to learning confronts people in training with concrete situations that are characterized by
