In this introductory capture we consider the history of case teaching in US business schools, the difference between the ‘Harvard’ and ‘Chicago’ approaches to management education, why at London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) we find merit in both approaches, how the application of theory helps to elucidate cases, and how cases provide a laboratory for exploring management decision-making. We go on to explain the Introduction–Facts–Theory–Analysis–Conclusion approach to writing a case analysis.
