The Writer’s Compass is used to help them remember the six unique but interrelated activities that are needed to write a case study. These are identify angle, develop case concept plan, research and analyse, write, review and refine, and publish and launch. Conceptualised as the six poles of a writer’s compass, the author explains the importance of each of these activities and how case writers can go about writing their own case studies using this compass.
Every good journey needs a reliable guide.
