Thank You. Sorry for the rhetoric. It is unintentional and is due to my belief that a substantially better system can be created.

Yes. I agree with the part that this would alienate my audience. But let me ask you something about case studies. Case studies provide all the required information in the case itself. Do you believe this to be right? Don`t you think that in the real world, you are faced with many situations where available data is highly ambiguous and unreliable. As a matter of fact, I find case competitions to be more engaging since case competitions only give you a small portion of data needed to analyze the scenario. The rest of the data has to be mined by the student. This is where his or her managerial and strategic ability comes into focus. Great managers, investors and entrepreneurs are those who make reliable assumptions of missing data. Unfortunately, the case study method never lets you do anything of that sort.Would really like to continue the conversation. Thank You
