Abstract:

This Approach is operationalized for classroom case discussions through a standardized situationanalytical

methodology included in case guide notes. Students have a procedure to follow and indications of the kinds of information generally to look for and the kinds of places generally to find it. They are, however, left to find their own way so that they learn to become situationally relevant, find information in and of the situation at the time, and think analytically and critically for themselves. The standard methodology included in case guide notes provided to students constitutes this paper.
