Abstract

Case method to teach law is widely used in the USA. The case method in legal education was invented by Christopher Columbus Langdell (Dean of Harvard Law School from 1870 to 1895). Langdell conceived of a way to systematize and simplify legal education by focusing on previous case law that furthered principle or doctrines. Students read the cases and came prepared to analyze them during Socratic question- and-answer sessions in class. So later the Harvard Business School case study method grew out of the Langdellian method. But instead of using established case law, business professors chose real-life examples from the business world to highlight and analyze business principles. HBS style case studies typically consist of a short narrative, told from the point of view of a manager or business leader embroiled in a dilemma. Cases are based on interviews or public sources; sometimes, case studies are disguised versions of actual events or composites based on the faculty authors’ experience and knowledge of the subject. The case study method is not the Langdellian case method, but it is more of a problem- solving approach to learning. The business school case method presents students with real-life problems, used to identify issues that could occur within the operation of a business. As the decision makers, students review the cases to determine the causes of the problem and enumerate various methodologies to find a solution. The basic premise of this approach is that, rather than simply listening to a lecture about various options, students hone both communication and leadership skills.
