IMTA Case Writing Module is designed to help participants improve their case writing skills and produce high-level case material under the guidance of experienced faculty.

The Case Writing Module is structured in three parts:

  • 3 days of preparatory seminar: 31 May - 2 June 2010, IEDC-Bled School of Management, Slovenia
  • field work with individual distance coaching: June 2010 -February 2011
  • 2 days of concluding workshop: 3-4 February 2011, IEDC-Bled School of Management, Slovenia

The 3-day preparatory seminar includes:

  • guidelines for writing good cases and teaching notes
  • a critique of poor and excellent case drafts and teaching notes
  • guidelines for conducting field, internet, and library case research
  • use of multi-media in case teaching
  • getting approval for case release
  • small group critiques of participants' cases and teaching note proposals or initial drafts
  • individual mentoring from faculty advisors

During the four-month field work period, participants carry out field and related research, draft the case and teaching notes, and submit these to their faculty coach for review and feedback. Based on faculty feedback, participants carry out additional research as necessary to improve their cases and teaching notes, which should be in near-final condition prior to the final classroom sub-module.

The 2-day concluding workshop includes

  • detailed peer and faculty critique of participants' cases and teaching notes
  • individual mentoring
  • practice teaching of a few of the participants' final cases
