Researching and writing strategic management cases: a systems view

Abstract

Considers the research and writing of strategic management cases which are intended to develop student’s problem‐solving abilities. Identifies a number of benefits associated with the writing of teaching cases. Proposes that the concepts and techniques of strategic management are consistent with a systems perspective and that strategic situations can be modelled as systems. Develops a systems ‐based method for the research and writing of case studies and examines its application to a particular case study. The method may be transferable to other management disciplines.
