These cases had the
advantage of allowing
specific situations or
specific pieces of theory
or tools of analysis to be
addressed.
The vignette case tended
to be used at the earliest
Diagram 1 stage of the module and
was often used to
examine a specific piece of theory or specific diagnostic tool.
The caselette put more meat on the bones and allowed a
more focussed depth of analysis and tended to be used in
the run up to the middle and latter part of the module. The
traditional case study tended to be used for final
assessment purposes.
These short case studies, as Diagram 1 shows, are a
collection of general case studies. However, other
collections of themed case studies have been undertaken
such as fraud cases, banking cases, and marketing cases.
