Abstract
The use of case studies on Management Courses is well established, but this method of learning still has major problems. This paper explains some of the difficulties encountered in the use of case studies on the Diploma in Management Studies (Public Administration) [DMS] course at Newcastle Business School. It shows how a new approach to live case studies was evolved, and the thinking that underpins the approach now used. The term ‘live case study’ used in this context means one where students work with managers of public sector organisations on real problems. This element of the paper is written by David Stewart - David, the Case Study Organiser for the DMS course.
