Abstract:
Case analysis is nothing new; in fact, it has been quite popular particularly among the management teachers and students. But its application is the areas of human values-based leadership and stress management is quite novel. The present Paper, at the very outset, introduces the concepts of values and ethics as popularized among the students and professionals by (late) Prof. S K Chakraborty. Then while introducing the conventional ideas about Case Study and Case Method of teaching, it presents the salient features of the unique Prof.
Chakraborty’s Case Method based on Indian Ethos and brings out a precise comparative analysis between the two in terms of pedagogy, types and outcome. Then it opines that very few cases are actually written and disseminated based on Indian Ethos, not to speak of any pedagogy or method based on the same, the importance of which is increasingly felt, particularly in India, amidst the emphasis on ‘self-reliance’.
Then the Paper attempts to synthesise the two paradigms and argues that this is necessary for the holistic development of the students and participants. Hence it puts forward a strong case for introducing and popularizing Prof. Chakraborty’s Case Method in the management curricula and EDPs in India and abroad.
