Review of the book "Metoda studium przypadku w edukacji biznesowej", ed. P. Ammerman, A. Gaweł, M. Pietrzykowski, R. Rauktienė, T. Williamson (Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań 2012)

Abstract

 The text is a review of the book "Metoda studium przypadku w edukacji biznesowej" [The case study method in business education], which is a summary of the project "Transfer of experiential and innovative teaching methods for business education" done under the auspices of The Leonardo da Vinci programme. The author of the review discusses the book, pointing out among its advantages a presentation of the case study method as an innovative tool for economic education that combines theory and practice by focusing on the personal and practical dimension of education. He also recognises its disadvantages, which include the failure to present the method's weaknesses, due to a lack of reflection on the meaning of case study methodology in the context of the functions and tasks facing universities.
