www.cuchd.in Campus: Gharuan, Mohali
Introduction
• A case-‐study is the document based on research.
• Alternative solutions to the problem .
• Alternative solution to be assessed on the basis on ‘contextual’ relevance.
www.cuchd.in Campus: Gharuan, Mohali
Purpose of case study

a distance”
• allow the application of theoretical concepts…bridging the gap between theory and
practice”

Benefits
• It requires of students to research and evaluate multiple sources of data, fostering

Types of Case-‐Study
• Decision-‐Case
• Situation-‐Analysis Case
www.cuchd.in Campus: Gharuan, Mohali
Decision-‐Case:

abstract but become central to the students’ sense of self in a specific
real world situation
