Discussing best practice
In the assignment extract we’ve just seen, current practice in the case is being compared with what the literature says is the most effective way of doing things. The student is drawing conclusions about how the owner’s current practice is contributing to the problems in the case by comparing what she is doing with what the literature says she should be doing (or in this case, should have continued doing). In your case study assignments, you’re going to be referring to best practice in discussing the underlying causes of problems in the cases as well as possible solutions.
