Document Summary

Cases are included in many courses in administrative studies to give students an appreciation of the hard realities of business and the constraints involved in decision making. By exposure to a variety of situations and diverse problems, the student can experience, to some degree, the challenges and dilemmas of the decision maker. For reasons of privacy and confidentiality, the persons, the companies, and the locations involved are typically disguised. The justification should rely, to a large extent, on theoretical principles. Sometimes students feel disappointed because the cases sometimes do not appear to be dramatic. however, because the cases do represent the realities of organizations, they are often likely to be somewhat mundane, at least to the outside observer. Most of the incidents are based on events that were actually faced by managers and their subordinates on a day-to- day basis. Very often, cases do not contain all the information that the student would like to have.
