The Case Method

LUMS has pioneered the use of the case method of teaching in Pakistan. It nurtures intellectual energy inside the classroom and beyond, encouraging case discussions, honing presentation and public speaking skills, promoting synergy, and facilitating the process of learning from opposing viewpoints and perspectives.

SDSB’s Open Access Case Initiative allows educators to access hundreds of Pakistan-specific industry cases for free. For details, please visit: https://crc.lums.edu.pk/

Faculty

The SDSB faculty strives to empower future business leaders using the case method of teaching and other participative tools to hone their understanding of management issues and decision-making situations. It is actively engaged in research on challenges and opportunities offered across business contexts. Faculty members serve as trusted advisors and consultants to decision-makers, tackling real-world issues through the practical application of business theory and knowledge. In addition to full-time faculty members, students also learn from a team of professional adjuncts, and executives in residence teaching across a range of areas.

  • The SDSB-LUMS MBA experience is one that I would recommend to others because it is the right place to grow not just professionally, but personally as well. This programme challenges you to push your boundaries and step outside of your comfort zone so that you realise your full potential. The faculty, the curriculum and the pace of the programme are one that can truly transform coal into diamonds, because a year ago I was not the same confident and ambitious person that you see today, thanks to my time here at LUMS.

  • Being an entrepreneur who comes from an engineering background, the EMBA journey at SDSB was an enriching experience that elevated my vision and approach to management. The case method pedagogy of the programme provided a unique opportunity to analyse diverse business problems from multiple facets and appreciate different approaches toward problem solving. It also encouraged me to do a lot of reflection about my past practices as a business manager and critically evaluate my decision-making and management style.

  • If you have the drive to follow your passion, LUMS will provide the platforms to accelerate your growth across every possible realm; be it academics, professional experience, or extra-curricular activities. LUMS gives you the opportunity to study a myriad of interdisciplinary courses and build a holistic perspective. As a Management Science student, I have taken courses in programming and political science, apart from a variety of different courses offered at the business school. The diversity in coursework has enhanced my creativity and polished my technical skills.
