Abstract

This paper offers theoretical and practical elements for cases elaboration in management courses. Initially, it presents advantages and limitations of the case method. Then, it indicates when cases are useful. It also discusses the philosophical and psychological fundaments of the case method. Most of the text, however, is dedicated to explaining the conduct in the preparation of the cases, involving: problem identification, definition of objectives, case localization, data collection, analysis of its difficulty, testing and final writing. The paper gives special attention to the process of writing cases, with the presentation of norms and suggestions of text structure, writing style and presentation form.
