HBS Dean hints tiny move away from case method
New HBS Dean interview in Harbus (the campus paper) hints a tiny move away from case method, teeny-tiny but no longer zero.
While case studies have historically worked well as they bring our students close to business practice, there’s no reason why with the advance of technology and the world becoming more accessible, we can’t provide our students with even richer experiences and bring them even closer to practice. I’d love to explore ideas on how to structurally institutionalize new forms of learning including simulations, IXPs, group exercises.

TRANSLATION: ‘DUNNO, I WAS NEVER SUPER FAN OF CASE METHOD, ALTHO, HEY, I’M NOW THE DEAN, SOOOOOOOOOOO……… BUT, ON THE SLY, ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO BREAK OUT OF THAT DEEPLY COWBOY TRIGGER-WITTED STRESS FEST IS OK W. ME. I’M REALLY WAY MORE COMFY W. GROUP SAMORA ROASTS AND MEET-UPS AND IXP’S [INTERNATIONAL JUNKETS BY STUDENTS] . . .I MEAN, ONCE YOU GET INTO HBS, LIKE WHO CARES, LET’S CHILL AND STOP WITH THE FAUX FACETIME AND SKYDECKING. OK, I’M SMOKING SOMETHING, AINT GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT THIS IS A GOOFY NON-INTERVIEW TO BEGIN WITH, SO THERE IT IS. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT MY WRISTWATCH? JAY LIGHT GAVE ME HIS, A $15 DOLLAR CLUNKER WHICH STOPPED WORKING DURING A FOUR DAY ECLIPSE.
