The suitable cases to clarify the concepts learnt by the students are given to students in the class. The discussion held for the case-studies in the class encourages students to apply the concepts learnt, for problem solving / decision making in the face of reality and develops the interpersonal skills necessary for putting one’s point forward and listening to others in a group.

Such activities link the concepts learnt by the students to their application in the professional field. During this, the students imagine themselves in the decision making situation and act accordingly using all the available data and theoretical models.
