以教師做引導、以討論為基礎的學習
(a form of instructor-guided, discussion-based learning.)
從以演講為中心到以參與者為中心的典範轉移
(a paradigm shift from the lecture-based approach to the
participant-centered method.)
以案例主角的角度思考及處理真實情況下的真實議題
(think and act like a protagonist dealing with a real
problem in a real-life situation.)

22. 學案例 (Learning Cases 3/3)
研究個案時應該把自己想成當事人, 設身處地分析及決策, 然
後在課堂上表達你的觀點.
As you review their cases you will put yourself in the shoes of
the managers, analyze the situation, decide what you would
do, and come to class prepared to present and support your
conclusions.
隨時聯繫個案的情境和自己的工作, 思考有什麼地方是可以
借鏡的.
Constantly relate the topic and case at hand to your business
no matter how remote the connection seems at first; It's not
whether it relates, but how.
