- "Preparation is crucial for business case studies to work; if an individual has not prepared fully then the benefits of the method are lost."
- "According to Harvard Business School faculty, students on their MBA course do approximately 85% of the talking. This is great news for those who can talk the talk and who love to compete for airtime, but for those who are slightly less gregarious – yes, business schools enroll types like this too – the method is flawed. Not all those in business leadership are brilliant public speakers – it helps, but it is not as essential as, say, empathy or rationality. And this may lead to a skewed hierarchy of classmates who believe that the most loquacious will go the furthest."
- "Cases are also a rather inefficient way of teaching basic business skills which are quantifiable and have a certifiable answer. "
- "In order to be able to contribute valuably to case study hearings, students must have considerable pre-MBA work experience."
- "However, it (the Case Study Method) does have its downsides. For example, it is only effective at the top level of study, as a certain degree of maturity and expertise is required for it to be an effective learning tool." - source URL?
