Abstract

The case method is a pedagogical tool that allows students to achieve their learning objectives through active discussion. A case study presenting a real event also allows students to link the theory to the practice. Readers learn from analysis, discussion, providing solutions, and recommendations. The case study is a form of research. And case writers are much like anthropologists who preserve the event so that others can learn what happened. There are several sources that can be used to write a case. The aim of this chapter is to present various ways of gathering data for case writing. The author also discusses the possibilities of gaining access to companies' data, which is challenge in Central and Eastern Europe.
