Very free flowing lecture sprinkled with examples at appropriate places, very engaging. Helped us to understand the “process” of writing the case. – Arushee Grover, IIT Roorkee
The different sessions helped us to understand the nitty-gritties of writing a publishable case which is also effective from teaching standpoint. This lesson is indeed valuable for a doctoral scholar like me aspiring to become management faculty in near future. – Indrani Sinha, XLRI Jamshedpur
