Problem Solving With Cases and Simulations

This volume produced by WACRA (World Association for Case Method Research & Application) presents papers on "Problem Solving with Cases & Simulations" in a Teaching-Learning Environment. Contributions from around the world (Europe, North & South America, Africa, Asia, Australia) explore & discuss the latest developments in design, production, implementation, research, evaluation, & pedagogical innovations using cases, simulations & games. Disciplines represented include Business, Communication, Education, Engineering, Industrial (Professional) Training, Medicine, Psychology, Strategic Policy Planning, Sociology, Social Sciences. Among others, Romiszovski (USA) proposes a structural communication methodology to assist students in dealing with unstructured problems, while Klabbers (Netherlands) suggests that games & simulations are appropriate means to tackle complex problems. Barnes (Harvard) responds to "How do concepts - concepts or theories of leadership - influence design, & teaching, of a course. Is there any relationship between Case Method Leadership & the leadership concept we try to transfer into our course designs?" Dutch Educational Centers introduce a case course concept based on different learning theories. On-going research reports, applications, case (simulation) development & writing & practical information about Case Method Organizations, Publications & Clearing Houses, worldwide, are also included.
