Management education cannot be complete without citing appropriate examples. Case method, hence, has gained significant importance as an alternative pedagogical tool to the traditional lecture method of imparting knowledge to learners. It involves active participation of learners, which is more stimulating than the role of passive listening played by them in the formal lecture session. 

“There is a dearth of good cases which are developed in Indian environment”

Cases are real life situations where learners are exposed to a thought provoking business decision-making environment. Case is an effective simulation for management students to develop knowledge, sharpen logical and analytical skills and improve the ability to communicate. It helps them to translate concepts and theories into action by giving them an opportunity to process information, analyze problems and evaluate decisions. The case method makes learning challenging and interesting, thereby fostering creativity.
