Abstract

Critics contend that traditional business cases fail students. A possible answer to these failings is the live case, in which students provide solutions to a business’ current problems. However, evidence supporting the efficacy of live cases is incomplete. This article describes a semester project in which 29 senior marketing majors drafted and analyzed six live cases. At the conclusion of the semester, all 29 students provided feedback on the project. Students indicated that the project was rewarding and challenging. Their feedback is presented, along with a discussion of ways to improve the live-case experience.
