Abstract :
Case studies provide the basis for empirical grounding of management theory or management principles. But there needs to be a systematic methodology for constructing case histories so that theory and principles can be compared to case reality. I propose such a methodology and illustrate the use of the methodology in two famous business cases - the origin of Cisco Systems and the bankruptcy of Enron.
