Case-based pedagogy is a valuable tool for applying business concepts and theories to organizational contexts. Traditional case-based pedagogy offers such learning opportunities. What this pedagogy lacks, however, is an element of real-time experiential learning opportunities. This research focuses on the advantages of incorporating a case-writing assignment in an MBA curriculum and integrating it with the traditional case-study methodology in what is termed participative case writing. This research details the integrated case-study methodology and includes specific implementation recommendations.
