Using the Case Study Method to Enhance the Learning Skills of Supply Chain Management Students

Abstract

Higher education institutions need to align themselves more closely with the needs of businesses and equip students with the skills and experience necessary to make them more successful and value-adding employees. This paper explores undergraduate student perceptions of the effectiveness of the case study teaching and learning method in the discipline of supply chain management. This exploratory study collected data using a questionnaire that was administered to 168 third-year registered students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The findings reveal that the students perceive the case study teaching and learning method to be beneficial to their learning skills and hence that it increases their chances of securing employment.
