Gujarat Technological University and
Narmada College of Management have organised a unique faculty development
programme on Case Writing of six days duration which will be completed in three
phases. The first phase was held at Narmada College of Management on 13th-14th
December, 2014.
28 participants from 11 institutions
participated in this faculty development programme which aims to develop the
capability among the faculty members for writing cases which are pertinent to
Indian business situations.
The programme was
inaugurated by Dr. Pankaj Jani, Director (Education), Narmada Education and
Scientific Research Society in the presence of Prof.(Dr.) Renuka Garg,
Professor and Head of the G H Bhakta Academy of Management, Department of
Business and Industrial Management, Veer Narmad South Gujarat University,
Surat, Dr. Bhaskar M Rawal, Principal, Narmada College of Science and Commerce,
Zadeshwar, Bharuch and Dr. Trupti S Almoula, I/c Director, Narmada College of
Management, Bharuch.
The fore noon
technical sessions on the first day were facilitated by Prof. (Dr.) Renuka Garg
who brought about the issues related to case discussion and case teaching in a
very interactive and lively manner with an active participation by all the
faculty members. Discussing the points raised by the faculty participants
related to case teaching and discussions in the classrooms, she brought out the
fact that faculty members themselves are to take this blame for case teaching
not happening in our classrooms. Elaborately discussing both, the issues
related to teaching learning through the case method and the intricacies of
case discussions in classrooms related to students, she urged the participants
to be thoroughly prepared before entering their classes for a case discussion
with their students.
The post lunch
session was dedicated to a discussion on the case, “Gilding Community with Glittering Zari”,
which Prof.(Dr.) Renuka Garg has written along with Prof.(Dr.) Manish
Siddhpuria. She highlighted and brought about some very intricate and
interesting points related to certain practical aspects of the case which the
participants missed in their reading of the case. The case, as suggested by her
can be used in various differing
situations, depending on the topic under discussion. All the participants
actively participated in the discussion and were delighted to experience a
discussion of a real case, written by the facilitator herself.
The second day of the
programme was facilitated by Prof. (Dr.) Satendra Kumar, Professor & Head,
Research Centre, CKSVIM, Pratapnagar, Vadodara. He began with sharing his own experience
of writing and publishing a case and the problems associated in the process of
selecting the right kind of topic,
organisation, getting all the relevant permissions from authorities and finally
getting case clearance from the organisation. Discussing his detailed note on the
process of writing a business case he shared many practical insights with the
participants.
The afternoon session
was devoted to discussing a case on Worldcom.com, the famous creative
accounting case that led to the fall of the company
in 2002. Elaborating the ethical issues involved in the case, Prof.(Dr.) Kumar
supplemented the case with enlightening experiences of ethics from his own
personal life. Encouraging the
participants to actively contribute to the academic community by developing and
writing cases on their own, he also highlighted the advantages of teaching
their own cases by faculty members in the classroom.
The workshop ended with guidelines
for phase two of the programme scheduled on 17th-18th of January
2015.
