XLRI Case Research and Simulation Development Centre (XL-CRSDC)

Case studies, games and simulations are the founding stones of management teaching pedagogy. In this methodology the students get an opportunity to play the role of decision-makers, analysts, competitors, and consultants and tackle real-life business dilemmas. To cater to this growing demand for inclusion of more cases, games, and simulations in the teaching curriculum, XLRI Case Research and Simulation Development Centre (XL-CRSDC) was established. The centre envisages making XLRI a world-class business case repository and pursuing knowledge creation through collaboration. The cases are written by the esteemed faculty members of XLRI, research scholars and professional case writers. The services offered by the centre include providing writing and editorial assistance to case writers alongwith managing distribution and promotion of the registered cases. To develop impactful field-based cases the centre has been establishing strategic collaboration with corporates and institutions. To promote the cases on a global platform, the centre has partnered with The Case Centre (UK) and is in the process to establish partnership with Harvard Business Publishing as well. The centre also facilitates the case authors in sending cases for international competitions. Many of the cases registered with the centre have won accolades in international forums.
