The Case Study Analysis Technique and 110 Fitness: Giving It All for the Parkinson’s Community

Abstract

The case study analysis technique (CSAT) is an effective methodology that bridges academic theory with practical applications. Long-lasting student meta-skills are developed by using the CSAT. It is particularly beneficial when the case study is based on a real-world situation that recently occurred. The CSAT is flexible and adaptable to fit a wide variety of higher education courses that involve a main protagonist and a related organizational problem. The case on “110 Fitness: Giving It All for the Parkinson’s Community” was used in this study to illustrate how the CSAT can be applied using a basic three-part approach of the case study, teaching note, and epilogue.
