Abstract:

Although cases are frequently used in business education, little is known about how the content and

presentation of cases influence learning and performance. This article overviews eight studies which

empirically tested how specific content as well as processes for working through case material influence

case-based learning and transfer. Overall, these studies reveal the importance of structuring cases in a

manner that simplifies learning, clearly emphasizing key concepts within the case content and concisely

presenting case material as to focus attention on learning underlying principles useful in future

situations. The direct implications for improving the effectiveness of case-based learning are discussed.
