Review and Discuss Case Studies

"Case studies have long been used by business and industry to cultivate and nurture critical leadership skills in key management personnel. Similarly, other professions - in both public and private sectors of the workforce - have recognized the value of case studies and begun using them to facilitate the transfer of conceptual knowledge and understanding to situational applications.

"Until recently, case study textbooks for educational professionals were rare, and few existed specifically for use in vocational and technical education administration. Indeed, this lack of illustrative and illuminating case studies focusing on the numerous issues and problems currently confronting the profession, is the primary reason for these volumes. Such issues, indigenous to the vocational education profession, cannot be adequately addressed by case studies written for other career groups." (Finch, Reneau, Faulkner, Gregson, Hernandez-Gantes, & Linkous, 1992)
