“There’s a lot of mystique around cases, especially in business schools. Cases are stories. That’s what they are. That’s all they are.
They’re based on real-world events….to put students in a situation that’s realistic, like the situations that they are going to face when they go out into the real-world.”
Welcome to the CARC Podcast!
