Does IIM Lucknow also use Harvard case studies like IIMA?

IIM Lucknow programs emphasize extensive case-based discussions, presentations, and role-plays to initiate an interactive learning environment. So, professors use cases from all B-schools across the world.

• Professors use cases from HBR, Ivey League, Stanford, IIM Ahmedabad, Kellogg’s, Wall Street Journal, and by IIM-L professors and students.
• In this premier B-school of India, almost all the subjects use case-study pedagogy. Even the oral communication subjects use cases to give a glimpse of real-time situations.
• The cases are important, but the level of the discussion carried out in the classroom plays a more predominant role. So, in all such analyses, the students are expected to read the case beforehand and prepare their participation notes. It is major for an extensive discussion.
• Some classes involve cases only. But sometimes, some use cases for discussion purposes only.

All the case studies are available on the website of HBS and can be purchased. But it will not add any value to the students until debated in the classroom with experienced professors and diverse opinions of the students. The ultimate motto is to use the best cases to preview the real-life application. Harvard cases are considered to be one of the best management cases in the world.
