The seminar aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of case-based teaching, a renowned pedagogical approach that promotes interactive learning and deep critical thinking. Faculty members at IIM Ranchi are engaging in discussions around varied business cases. These cases focus on leadership, strategic decision-making, and organizational transformation, offering invaluable lessons to refine further the faculty’s ability to engage students in meaningful, real-world problem-solving.
