About this book


Most business schools use case studies in their courses. However, these are typically based on past cases and assigned to students to solve. This book describes a new approach for teaching with case studies, which was developed and applied successfully at TUM School of Management. In this approach, student teams write and solve their own case study on a topic concerning current and future businesses. A case can thus be on their own startup or a strategic decision of existing companies. During the course, the students receive intensive coaching while selecting and developing the case topic by the course advisors as well as feedback by industry experts and executives for whom the case is actually a burning question.
The authors present 17 cases covering strategic questions for startups and technology companies such as Deutsche Post, BMW, Ryanair, Lufthansa, Stadtwerke München, Fielmann, adidas, Siemens, Caribou Biosciences, eon, Airbus, Unicredit and UBS.

Case: The Renewed Case Seminar
Abstract
On a summer afternoon in Munich in 2013, Gunther Friedl, Dean of TUM School of Management and Andreas Biagosch, recently retired from McKinsey & Company after 28 years, were exchanging ideas on how to create the most inspiring business seminar. Their goal was to create an outstanding learning experience for business students. Thus the case study seminar at the Technical University of Munich School of Management was born. We brainstormed several initial ideas.
