Colleagues: I have used TBL in my Business Strategy classes since Fall 2001. I experience the development of strategy case study-based exercises which are consistent with TBL principles as a continuing challenge. I find that exercises which only require the application of specific analytical models of limited scope are readily adapted to the "analysis of complex issues-concrete decision" guidance.

However, I find the development of strategy case-based exercises meeting the "concrete decision" criteria, yet requiring the integration of several types of information from case information, analysis and theory to arrive at appropriate recommendations, much more difficult.
