Abstract:

Cases constitute an important pedagogic tool in business schools. The quality of the case often determines the quality of the case discussion. A case must be written painstakingly with an eye for detail but in a simple and appealing way. Case writing demands aptitude and skills which are somewhat different from those involved in writing articles. Yet case writing, like any other discipline, can be mastered over time with practice, provided a few important points are kept in mind. This note covers various aspects of case writing, like arriving at a structure, maintaining focus, style and editing. The note also lists the do's and don'ts of case writing.
