"Academics across the globe are keenly interested to write case studies — yet, a book that handholds an academic for writing a case study has been missing. Written by an award winning case writer who has worked with multiple faculty members at different universities, this book is a treasure trove of practical insights about case writing. The structured approach to case writing depicted in this book, along with the lucid examples at multiple places, is hugely enlightening and makes case writing appear to be a child's play. This is a much-needed book and I hope it will inspire many academics to try their hand at writing case studies."
--Professor Indranil Bose
Indian Institute of Management Calcutta


"This book is a must read for aspiring as well as experienced case writers. Dr Joshi takes you through a common sense step by step process to ensure useful and engaging pedagogy. It is obvious that she has instructed and developed many new case writers through the years."
--Professor Philip Zerrillo
Singapore Management University
