Abstract:
Case studies are a useful tool in agribusiness management education. They attempt to illuminate a decision or set of decisions: why they were taken, how they were implemented, and with what result. A number of professional associations have developed case study competitions as a way to get students engaged with their association and support future professionals. Typically a case study competition will allow students to compete in teams – pitting them against other teams – with the teams subsequently judged for their analysis of the case and presentation of their recommendations through both written and oral communication means. This article describes the benefits to students, faculty and industry of a case study competition, and provides pointers, notes and suggestions to consider when organizing such a competition.
