SWAGºÏ¼¯

SWAGºÏ¼¯’s Jesse H. Jones School of Business is partnering with a leading provider of business case method training – Ivey Business School and Ivey Publishing – for a three-day case teaching and writing workshop. The event will be held June 24-27, 2019, on the SWAGºÏ¼¯ campus in the Gerald B. Smith Center for Entrepreneurship & Executive Development. SWAGºÏ¼¯ faculty in the School of Business will participate in the training, and other interested faculty from area universities are also invited to attend, though space is limited.

Participants will discuss case teaching during the first day of the workshop, followed by intensive and focused case writing on the final three days. Dr. Roderick White, professor emeritus of general management and strategy at Ivey Business School, will conduct the workshop. Case teaching and writing workshops explore real-life business scenarios, and SWAGºÏ¼¯ has partnered with several local businesses to give the workshops a distinct Houston flavor. Participants will interview key leaders of these businesses to develop their cases.

“Bringing Ivey Publishing case teaching and writing workshops to SWAGºÏ¼¯ gives faculty an incredibly valuable professional development opportunity,” said Dr. Claudius Claiborne, interim dean of the School of Business. “Case method training is an important component within the curriculum of our degree programs. In the end, it is our students who will benefit from this training.”
