ABSTRACT

Once at the resolution stage, students often struggle with generating quality responses to case study problems. Without connecting potential solutions to the case analysis, emerging and new professionals may miss opportunities to design and implement resolutions that address the full range of issues and concerns embedded in a given situation. Students and new professionals generally find it helpful to organize their responses by thinking of them as either short-term or long-term approaches. Long-term approaches tend to be proactive responses to address broader issues to ensure this type of problem either does not occur again, or if it does, the effects are limited. Students and new professionals often struggle in devising responses to problems presented in a case study that are not appropriate or realistic given the facts of the case. For instance, the violation of a student's privacy can have significant consequences.
