Recruiting the Case Writers

Abstract

Case writing is a different art, the art of sharing the real-life situations through written cases. Readers of the case will be able to learn about the issue(s) and people contained in the case without having to be in the organization and interacting with the relevant people. Problem-solving or decision-making case study requires the reader to understand the scenario and respond to the guided questions. In this case study, Yasin Yahya, approached his peers and former students to write case studies independently or jointly. He adopted a few methods to encourage his targets to understand the basic characteristics of problem-solving case studies and start writing. He would be serving as a resource person, coach, and editor for each case. His efforts for a few months do not show positive outcomes. Being a new learning tool, even experience instructors need time to try. Readers are asked to evaluate which among the four methods Yasin used might be able to help his peers produce case studies for teaching purposes.
