If you're enrolled in an executive education or MBA program, you've probably encountered a powerful learning tool: the business case. But if you're like many people, you may find interpreting and writing about cases mystifying, challenging, or downright frustrating. In "The Case Study Handbook", William Ellet presents a potent new approach for analyzing, discussing, and writing about cases. Early chapters show how to classify cases according to the analytical task they require (solving a problem, making a decision, or forming an evaluation) and quickly establish a base of knowledge about a case. Strategies and templates, in addition to several sample Harvard Business School cases, help you apply the author's framework. Later in the book, Ellet shows how to write persuasive case-analytical essays based on the process laid out earlier. Extensive examples of effective and ineffective writing further reinforce your learning. The book also includes a chapter on how to talk about cases more effectively in class. Any current or prospective MBA or executive education student needs to read this book.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

If you’re enrolled in an executive education or MBA program, you’ve probably encountered a powerful learning tool: the business case. But if you’re like many people, you may find analyzing cases and writing about them challenging or frustrating. That’s not surprising—cases are not simple narratives, and good ones are typically nonlinear and can even be purposefully misleading. Apply the conventional approach to understanding business cases, and you may waste time (at best) and arrive at weak or meager conclusions (at worst).

The Case Study Handbookpresents a powerful new approach for analyzing, discussing, and writing about cases. By using sample Harvard Business School cases, you’ll master a number of useful topics, including:

How to recognize case situations and apply appropriate tools to solve problems, make decisions, or develop evaluations

How to quickly establish a base of knowledge about a case

How to write persuasive case-based essays

How to talk about cases effectively in class

This book also includes strategies and templates to help apply this new framework. Extensive examples of effective writing further reinforce your learning.

A vital resources,The Case Study Handbookis a must read for anyone about to tackle the business case.

It is easy to read and understand

May 6, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I had been searching for a book to explain how to approach tackling a case to get the most learning from the experience. I happen to find this book and since acquiring it, it has become my companion as I prepare for cases. It is easy to read and understand. This book provides clear, concise suggestions for HBS type cases. I wish it was available in kindle version so that I would not have to travel with it. Great book.
