“…A number of management scholars and educators have stressed the unique and inimitable character of first‐hand management experience and questioned all forms of educational experience that pretend to approximate real, first‐hand management experience (Andrews, ; Raelin, ). Mintzberg () has argued that, with inexperienced students, we should refrain from using the case method altogether, for it promotes a biased and artificial view of management practice and tends to corrupt prospective managers.…”

Over the last century, the case method has been a key teaching tool in management education. This article takes stock of the main characteristics of the case method, clarifies its learning goals, and exposes the relationships between these goals and supporting learning theories, in particular active‐learning theory and experiential learning. It then examines the multiple variations of the case method that have developed over the years and discusses arguments against the case method. Finally, four proposals are made in view of strengthening the case method's value: extend case variety, moderate the case method's ambition to foster experiential learning, conduct empirical research about the case method's learning impacts, and emphasize the close relationship between case research and case teaching.

During economic development, modern museums face competition from various leisure activities and entertainment sites, and to achieve sustainable development, museums should reflect on providing high‐quality service to satisfy visitors’ expectations. Based on service design‐related theories, this research team conducted a case study to explore the planning, implementation, and meaning of Mobile Museums. It investigated design development from the perspective of public service design and summarized the policy, design, and service satisfaction results for Mobile Museums. Finally, the similarities in service processes are discussed between Mobile Museums and the general service industry. According to this study, attracting more visitors is the biggest issue facing museums today, as are the ways in which museums must actively provide service and become recognized to compete with others. This study identifies the onstage and backstage support of museums as well as their cultural features and non‐profit services.

RESUMO ste artigo aborda a tipologia do método do caso na área de administração e tem por objetivo identificar os principais tipos de casos e as situações mais apropriadas para o emprego de cada uma de suas versões. Realizou-se um levantamento bibliográfico sobre os tópicos: (i) definição do método do caso, (ii) finalidades pedagógicas do método do caso, (iii) tipologia dos casos e (iv) critérios para classificações dos casos. Com base nisso, foram sugeridos quatro critérios para categorização dos tipos de casos, a saber: finalidades pedagógicas, disponibilidade de informações, nível de estruturação e nível de complexidade. Cada formato de caso se mostra adequado a uma situação educacional peculiar, incluindo diferentes níveis de ensino. Recomenda-se que essa técnica seja utilizada em conjunto com outras estratégias educacionais. É fundamental que os instrutores estejam habilitados a selecionar o tipo do caso conforme a necessidade dos alunos e os objetivos pedagógicos pretendidos.ABSTRACT his article focuses the types of cases in the business area. The goal was to identify the main types of cases and the more appropriate situations to use each version. A desk research was made, leading to the development of the following topics: (i) definition of case study, (ii) the educational purposes of the case study, (iii) the types of cases and (iv) criteria to classify the cases. Based on the bibliographical research, it could be suggested four criteria to categorize the types of cases; there are: educational purposes, information available, structure level and complexity level. Each case format is more appropriate to a particular educational situation, including undergraduate and graduate courses. The case method has to be accompanied by other educational techniques. It is important that the instructors are able to select the type of case according to the student needs and the desired educational objectives.
