A new type of case study, called the real-time case (RTC), was produced in the fall of 2001 and distributed via the Internet to business classes at four universities in the U.S. and Canada. The real-time case presented the story of one company's growth and development throughout a 14-week semester. A case writer stationed full-time at the subject company published case installments weekly on the Web, allowing students to view the company-building process as it happened. The 14-week coverage of RTC enabled students to study the subject company in unprecedented depth and detail. RTC's real-time interactivity allowed students to share their analyses and best thinking with the company leadership during the company’s decision-making process.A major objective in producing the case was to heighten student engagement with the case material. To evaluate whether this objective was achieved, a survey was conducted with the participating classes. Results from the survey showed a high degree of engagement, plus many other benefits from the new type of case study.

This article describes the first implementation of the Real-time Case Method (RTCM)—a new instructional practice that makes use of various technologies to create a new type of case study. Data obtained from five instructors at four business schools in the U.S. and Canada were analyzed using analytic induction. Analysis suggests RTCM was successfully implemented at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, in traditional face-to-face as well as online learning environments, with students of varying levels of experience and backgrounds, and by instructors with differing professional backgrounds and teaching styles. The instructors were highly satisfied with the method. They observed that students were engaged by RTCM, that it motivated them to work harder and longer on assignments, and that it allowed them to have experiences that were qualitatively different from those available from textbooks and traditional cases.

In this article, the authors report on a new type of case study, called real-time case method (RTCM), which was produced and taught at four business schools. This new method of developing cases was applied in a course on entrepreneurship. The authors describe it and evaluate its effectiveness. RTCM was conducted over the course of one university semester, and participants included 109 students from four universities in the United States and Canada. The authors' findings indicate that RTCM is highly effective in generating student engagement and satisfaction. (Contains 1 table.)

... Firstly, it answers calls for future studies to explain the influence of EE teachers' teaching practices on students (Fayolle & Gailly, 2015;Piperopoulos & Dimov, 2015;Fayolle & Linan, 2014). This is because extant research has focused on investigating EE learning pedagogies such as action learning (Taylor et al., 2004), experimental learning & simulation (Hindle, 2002), opportunity-centred learning (Rae, 2003), case studies (Theroux & Kilbane, 2004), reflection and learning by doing (Cope & Watts, 2000) and business competitions (Li et al., 2003) without considering students' EI reactions to teachers' interactive practices within these pedagogies (Pennings et al., 2018). ...

... Such a context stimulates active learning by students because clear conceptual demarcation, consistency and accurate measurement with relevant data require more than a straightforward application of theoretical models. Kilbane et al. (2004) and Gosling and Mintzberg (2006) (continued) M. Blankesteijn and J. Houtkamp 237 3. Execution (E) Execution of university-industry technology transfer is often hindered by lack or abundance of data, therefore case-driven research projects must allow students to become acquainted with using and organizing feedback loops. Such an interaction context with teachers, industry experts and fellow students stimulates incorporation of criteria for the (proposed) solutions that meet all actors perspectives thereby stimulating design thinking and perspective taking. ...
