Advantages of Short cases



               There can be little doubt that the traditional case study

               method can be enhanced by the addition of multimedia

               applications. These applications appear to offer a

               tremendous potential for not only achieving the objectives

               of case development but also augmenting them. Moreover,


               short case studies benefit generally as they tend to have a

               greater specificity in the areas they cover and as such have

               the knock-on-effect of allowing easier architectural

               construction within the interactive application.



               Short cases have one major advantage over traditional

               cases that is that they can be produced more readily from

               current sources such as newspaper articles or online

               content. This means that fresh content ingredients are

               readily put in place – i.e. currency in Diagram 2. This may


               mean that they have a shorter shelf life but do have the

               advantage that they can be readily followed up on or

               replaced with similar material.
