Management Theories and Practice 1
Introduction: In studying and analyzing a case study through applying learning lessons from the text helps to put the objective and purpose into perspective. A case study is a form of problem based learning where details of an actual situation is generated with context that is related with key concepts of the text material. By using the underlying case study and relating it to the lesson on hand the use of material becomes more involved and related to real life concepts rather than just knowledge. By being able to apply knowledge as it is learned to actual problems through case studies it is often easier to understand as well as retain the key elements of the lesson at hand. In the use of a case study it improves the learning experience in many ways. Case studies often apply the skills and concepts rather than just remembering facts and allows the reader to use critical thinking in a real life experience rather than the normal correct responses. Another benefit of using and applying knowledge through case studies is the expanse of which the knowledge can be applied in different directions that could come to more efficient outcomes in response to real life problems. By reading the case study of Shui Fabrics, (Daft, 2012), an analysis can be made of global problems in regards to key components of interactions between cultures and interactions between them through business interactions as well as corporation outlooks. In the case study many differences come into play in the reaction between a US and Chinas joint business venture in regards to expectations between two cultures. In this one can learn the overall requirements of both cultures as well as the ability to make a sound and efficient decision regarding the case at hand. Over all the learning is in application of key concepts in a real world case.
