I took the initiative to actually do my own little bit of research. As my teacher says that we need to know case studies but, she gives us um... little ones such as. She also states these are sufficient.

Rolls-Royce has a bery exclusive distribution channel

Its about 6-7 sentences.

I thought we would have to actually do a case study in depth. Such as Qantas. I thought we only have to know one. But we would have to actually know it in depth on every topic in the HSC Syllabus. To show a greater understanding of each concept.

Just how important are case studies/ what topic do you do them in?

We have done: Financial planning & management and marketing.

and not one case study.

What do you need to know about your case study?
If you look at the Business Studies Syllabus it outlines at the start of each topic what you need to know about a case study.

Here are the relevant case study sections for the HSC course:

Students learn to:

use existing business case studies to investigate and communicate ideas and issues related to business management and change. The focus of these case studies will be to:
• analyse how management theories apply to various business situations
• explain and evaluate how change is managed in one or more businesses.
• interpret the published annual reports of one or more businesses
• analyse the financial statements of one or more businesses (real or imaginary)
• undertake comparative ratio analysis — over a period of time, with similar businesses, against common standards.
• analyse and evaluate marketing strategies for a product or service
• analyse the marketing plan of a business
• construct a marketing plan for a single product/service (real or imaginary).
• analyse how conflict and change are managed in a business
• prepare and justify possible ways of resolving conflicts in the selected business organisations.
• select a global business and identify its international targets
• describe and analyse the reasons for its international expansion
• explain the influences on this business in the global market
• explain the strategies used by the business to achieve its targets

So does that mean we need to know a different Case Study for each of the topics?

 

[michael1990]

Not necessarily - you just need to cover those points - you can use the same case study for each one if possible, or have multiple

From the Case Study FAQ again:

Yes sorry i read that after i posted.

Another question though. As a teacher do you believe it would be better to have multiple case study knowledge or a deeper knowledge of one?
