| Case Studies in Real
Estate Education: The New AACSB Accreditation Standards and a Proposed Case Study in Real Estate Management Authors: Start Page: 175 Abstract:
Case studies have long been employed as an instructional tool in business
education, including real estate. This study examines the merits of, and
issues associated with, case studies in real estate pedagogy, particularly
in light of the new Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB)
International’s accreditation standards. Finally, a sample case study
assignment in real estate management is presented; specifically, a capital
improvement project, in which students, working in small groups, use a
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet template to solve the case and answer various
what-if questions relating to the project. The case study may be used
in any of several real estate courses, including real estate economics,
finance, investment analysis, and property management at the undergraduate
and graduate level. Teaching notes, including the spreadsheet solution to
the case and answers to the several what-if questions, are available from
the authors upon request.
