Looking for tribes(wo)men
I had earlier mentioned about the art of case study writing akin to a Holmes story. After being with Icfai for nearly three years, I can very confidently say that it gives a great sense of satisfaction to write case studies and teach through writing. Besides, the learning derived is significant. I have authored more than 15 case studies, co-authored several and mentored and initiated teams into case writing. All our case studies are available at http://www.ecch.com/ and http://www.ibscdc.org/
I have moved on from being satisfied in seeing our case studies taught in b-schools across the world to collaborating with academicians and industry insiders in writing case studies. I have also realised that there is a very small tribe of regular case writers from Harvard, INSEAD, Wharton, Richard Ivy, Icfai and a few others. I and my team at Icfai Research Centre would be glad to collaborate in whatever we can be it case reviewing or writing or even getting your case class tested. The idea is to expand the tribe of case writers. Drop a line if you are interested: bharathi@ibsindia.org, bharathisg@hotmail.com
