However, claiming to equip students with an arsenal of academic
weapons does not mean that the student will comprehend their use and
application especially when applied to case study analysis. The
contention here is that students will tend towards buying a full case
study solution rather than the tools that would help them build one.
The case method aims to develop individual and peer research and as
Gallagher (19) points out “The business case study as pedagogy is, to
some extent, founded on the notion of experiential learning where
students direct their own learning by formulating questions and taking
responsibility for their study.” However, paid for solutions circumvent this
learning process to the detriment of the student by negating the process
of research, thinking, peer discussion, analysis and writing. Moreover, it
weakens the institution and defrauds future employers when they
engage and pay for skills the student does not possess.
