Case studies have long been an integral part of business and management education. As artificial intelligence transforms teaching and learning, they are assuming even greater importance. Cases provide the opportunity to learn from real-life scenarios, equipping students with the analytical skills required to critically examine data, apply theory, and interpret complex situations in what is an increasingly noisy and uncertain world.
Navigating the 21st Century Business World: Case Studies in Management, edited by Alexander Pepper and Dorottya Sallai, is a fully open access collection of management cases, featuring examples from the health sector, media, oil and gas industries, fast fashion, financial services, and the public sector.
Written by LSE academics and tested in the classroom, the case studies in this book challenge students to evaluate classic issues of management, such as corporate governance and leadership, and to address contemporary dilemmas, from considering a company’s responsibilities in the face of man-made climate change to how to create inclusive workforces. Each case details the core dilemmas raised and includes questions for students to consider when preparing the case.
Academics and industry trainers can use the collection to make their lessons more hands-on and enhance their curriculum. The case studies provide practical examples of management decision-making to spark thought-provoking discussions for university students, experienced executives looking to improve their leadership skills, and entrepreneurs seeking a competitive edge.
This book is free to read and download via Open Access publishing from the LSE Press website and this event is co-hosted by LSE Press and LSE's Department of Management.
Early praise for Navigating the 21st Century Business World
"A timely collection of a fascinating set of case studies covering a variety of issues, including strategy, governance, AI, and the environment, and set in a wide range of industries, including tech, media, health, fast fashion, oil and gas sectors, financial services, and the public sector. This book provides an invaluable teaching resource for business school staff and other readers interested in learning from historical and contemporary cases."
