The Effect of the Case Method on Tolerance for Ambiguity.

Banning, Kevin C.

Journal of Management Education, v27 n5 p556-67 Oct 2003

Of students in capstone strategic management classes, 195 (experimental group) were instructed using the case method. Compared with results from 42 controls on a tolerance for ambiguity scale, the case method not only conveyed core concepts but also increased tolerance. Locus of control had an effect on learning to tolerate ambiguity. (Contains 21 references.) (SK)
