Announcements and Events
A call for applications or a new unfunded PhD Research Opportunity.
ParCeL Research Group are pleased to announce a call for expressions of interest for a new PhD Research Opportunity entitled: Examining Adaptions in Case Study Development to Enhance Participant Centred Learning in Management Education.
A new book chapter: Collaborating Over Cases: Developing an International Community to Support Participant Centred Entrepreneurship Education in Turkey
Three members of the ParCeL Research Group have successfully teamed up to produce a new book chapter showcasing the development of the Case Method in Turkey. This chapter forms one of twelve in the new textbook published by Routledge, entitled: Entrepreneurship and Education: Cases, Collaborations and Contexts. This book is edited by Robert James Crammond and Denis Hyams-Ssekasi.
The Launch of a Second Textbook – Learning and Researching with Cases, A Student Companion
Learning and Researching with Cases was published by Routledge in Sept 2023. This book is developed for students to use as a tool when preparing to use case studies in the classroom and when using the case method for qualitative research. It is a sister book to the tutor textbook: A Case Study Companion, which was launched in 2021.
Developing Live Case Studies in Entrepreneurship Education
The ParCeL project successfully received funding from the British Council‘s Connect4Innovation fund to develop a two year programme (2021-2023) between UW and METU, working with entrepreneurs and business leaders to develop case studies to showcase entrepreneurial practice. Copies of these cases will be added to the Case Centre’s global case collection. A UK case writing symposium took place at University of Worcester in April 2022, followed a month later by a similar event at METU. In Spring 2023, case writing teams were formed to construct cases and teaching notes for future class-based teaching.
The launch of a new textbook – The Case Study Companion
The Case Study Companion was published by Routledge in 2021. This book is developed for educators to use as a tool to prepare for using case studies in the classroom and include sections devoted to using cases for online learning, using cases for assessment, and writing case studies for future classroom teaching. A sister book for students is due for publication in Sept 2023.
Turkey runs a case development event with local Entrepreneurs
A UW/METU event took place in METU on 17-19 June 2019, which invited training on case writing to more than 40 participant educators from Universities across Turkey. This was followed with a day of presentations by local entrepreneurs with the aim to develop new case studies to inform future entrepreneurship education programmes. The project was made possible by funding from Tubitak.
History of workshops on Case Teaching and Case Writing in Turkey
Some members of the ParCeL team have previously held close links with the Case-study Alliance Turkey (CAT) Project, which was an Erasmus+ initiative involving BAS Koene and Tao Yue (from RSM Rotterdam, NL), Scott Andrews (from University of Worcester, UK), Deniz Tuncalp (from ITU, TR) and Nazli Wasti (from METU, TR). This project offers regular case teaching and case writing workshops. See the following link for further details: http://cat.ba.metu.edu.tr/en
