Zusammenfassung
The aim of the paper is to show how the combination of the (Harvard) case method (HCM) and the group dynamics approach (GDa) can be beneficial for students, teachers and teaching institutions. The benefits and risks of both methods are critically reflected. To provide orientation, a synopsis of the (Harvard) case method is presented and compared with aspects of the group dynamics approach.
