CIU launches Bangladesh's first case writing centre

For the first time in Bangladesh,
Chittagong Independent University (CIU) has officially launched a dedicated
'Case Writing Centre' to institutionalise case-based teaching and research in
higher education.
The center was inaugurated yesterday (30
April) at the university's Jamal Khan campus in Chattogram, reads a press
release.
BSRM Managing Director Aameir Alihussain
attended the event as chief guest. The event featured welcome remarks from CIU
Business School Dean Professor Dr Syed Manjur Quader, while the centre's acting
director Iffat Ishrat Khan and HSBC Head of Chattogram Banking Omar Sharif also
spoke.
Special guests joining virtually
included former North American Case Research Association president and
University of San Francisco Associate Dean Dr Michael Goldman, along with
UK-based The Case Centre CEO Vicky Lester.
CIU Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr MM
Nurul Absar presided over the programme and delivered the closing remarks.
Officials said the centre, established
in collaboration with The Case Centre, UK, will develop internationally
standardised teaching cases tailored to local realities. These cases will
reflect real-world business situations, challenges, and decision-making
processes.
They expressed hope that the initiative
will strengthen students' practical knowledge, analytical capabilities, and
problem-solving skills, while bridging the gap between theoretical learning and
real-world application.
The university also expects the case studies, developed within the context of
emerging economies, to become valuable educational resources for students and
researchers worldwide.
