Beyond Google Scholar

Students often struggle to find relevant literature for their thesis projects. The main aim of this tutorial is two-fold, namely to teach students (1) how to find relevant literature using various databases and search strategies and (2) how to critically reflect on the role of digital databases and Generative AI tools in their search process. The package includes a lecturer’s manual and two versions of the same tutorial: one with steps in Excel and one without. The tutorial can be delivered as an in-class workshop (2–3 hours) or assigned as a take-home assignment. The databases and tools used in this tutorial include Zotero, Google Scholar, Project MUSE, JSTOR, ChatGPT, and Excel. The tutorial can be used in any higher education classroom and is particularly suitable for courses that prepare students for writing a BA or MA thesis.

Week 8: Organising a Case Competition

This final, high-energy lesson—or event—is all about case-solving competitions between students. Format, rules, and possible schedules are all part of this concluding session. A case competition is an inspiring and effective way to conclude a case-cracking training series. It gives students the opportunity to apply their skills in a high-pressure, real-world setting that fosters focus, teamwork, and clear communication under time constraints. Competitions not only allow for immediate feedback and continuous improvement but also mirror the dynamics of real consulting work, where firms compete for projects. Whether students solve a live business challenge or a simulated case, involving industry professionals as judges adds authenticity and depth to the experience. Including a final round enhances learning for all participants—both those presenting and those observing—and helps generate visibility and excitement around the program, inspiring future engagement.

Week 2: Analysing a Case

Around an inspiring video, a lesson has been built with specific learning objectives, activities, and supporting materials for students. Essential case-solving techniques to help students tackle complex real-world problems, are being introduced and trained. The instructors explain that effective analysis goes beyond listing facts—it’s about uncovering insights that address the “so what” question. Key methods covered include critical thinking, analytical frameworks (like VRIO, Porter’s 5 Forces, and GAP analysis), and the 5 WHY technique for identifying root causes. Using a concrete case example, they show how a deeper issue—ineffective communication—was the true cause of low user engagement. By the end of this lesson, students understand how to structure their analysis, avoid common mistakes, and use insights to drive solution development.
