National Case Writing and Analysis Workshop

Writing cases is a challenging task, but the learning outcomes that stem from their use can be rewarding. Case writing involves complex and reflective endeavors as well as the opportunity for creative expression. A case writer has to analyze, evaluate, interpret, and synthesize information and ideas. In fact, writing cases can enrich one’s teaching and research. The writing process comprises four major activities: planning, organizing, drafting, and revising.

Pioneer Institute of Professional Studies, Indore in association with Association of Indian Management Schools (AIMS) organized a three day workshop from 28th -30th March, 2011. The main objective of the workshop was teaching the participants better case writing techniques and effective tool for analyzing them in class.
