One of the most enduring features in business education is the case method of teaching, which originated at Harvard Business School a century ago. The HBS case method reflects a conviction that business education is first and foremost a training in decision making on practical business problems. However, it is seen by critics as contributing to a narrow, instrumental, managerial perspective on business, which fails to respond to calls for a more responsible management education. In response to these criticisms, a genre of ‘critical cases’ has emerged and flourished. Critical case writing and teaching promotes a reflexive practice which assists students in challenging taken for granted logics of business and management. This workshop is an opportunity for those interested in writing, teaching, and publishing critical cases to reflect on and develop their professional practice.
