Stroban Caselets · for business schools

Caselets built for your course, co-created with your institution.

Students decide. The case responds. Interactive caselets put management students inside a real business decision, then show them what their choice sets in motion.

Co-creation

How co-creation works

We build caselets with your institution, for your course, on demand. Our caselet library is the proof of what we build, and a ready starting point.

Scope

A call on your course, outcomes, context, batch size and class date.

Brief

You sign off the brief.

Draft

The caselet and decision map; you review.

Sim

Practice and assessment sims, tested; you try it.

Ready

Faculty Pack, outcome mapping, class codes.

Three ways to work with us

Option 1

Adapt

One of our caselets re-mapped to your course, in 1 week.

Option 2

Co-create

A new caselet with your institution, in 3 weeks.

Option 3

Signature

Primary research or company access, exclusive for 12 months, your faculty credited as co-authors.

Times are our working time after you sign off the brief; plan about 4 weeks before your class date. Fees on request.

How it works · Stroban Caselets

The shift

A caselet students play, not just read.

A traditional case ends where the real learning begins: at the decision. Decision Sims keep going. Every choice is graded on the spot and moves two live meters that pull against each other, so students feel the trade-off instead of debating it in the abstract.

Decision Sim · Zepto’s Dark Store Dilemma Entrepreneurship · 1 of 5
Growth momentum64+6
Public trust46+6

You are Zepto’s founder-CEO. Growth investors want you to keep spending to hold the top spot; the IPO bankers want a clean path to profit. How do you steer the venture from here?

AKeep expanding where you lead, but tie every new dark store to a clear timeline for covering its own costs.
BPause new-city launches and make existing stores profitable before growing again.
CChase share in every city and worry about margins once you are clearly number one.
DSlash expansion, retreat to a handful of cities and wait for the market to come to you.
Consequence

Strong call, 10 points. You defend the category while showing a credible route to profit, so both meters rise. Next, the plastic-waste problem lands on your sustainability desk.

From a live caselet · options shortened for display

Decisions have consequences

Growth against trust, delivery against cash. A right call can still cost something, exactly as it does in real management.

Grounded in Indian business

Each caselet is built on a real, recent Indian business story, with companies, markets and constraints students recognise.

Tied to your syllabus

Every decision maps to one named sub-topic in a specific unit, so a caselet slots straight into a session plan.

In the classroom

Read. Decide. Discover. Reflect.

Each caselet runs in two modes: a practice run students can replay as often as they like, and an assessment run with one graded attempt. Students join at play.stroban.org with a class code and their roll number, or with a personal key for high-stakes tests. Use it in a lecture or lab slot, or let students complete it in their own time.

Set the scene

A short, real business situation with just enough detail to act on. No 20-page reading.

Make the call

One decision per subject, four believable options each. Options are shuffled on every attempt.

Live with it

Two meters move with every call and pull against each other, showing the consequence before the words do.

Debrief

In practice, every choice is explained the moment it is made; in assessments, your institution decides. A closing debrief ties each call back to its concept.

Coverage · Stroban Caselets

Coverage

Across the management core.

Single-subject caselets for focused practice, plus integrated caselets that ask students to reason across several subjects in one situation, the way real decisions arrive.

For undergraduate and postgraduate management programmes: BBA, BMS, MBA, PGDM, PGP and more.

Integrated caselets

  • One story, several subjects. In Zepto’s Dark Store Dilemma, entrepreneurship, environmental studies, databases, marketing and psychology meet in a single situation.
  • Mapped to your programme’s semester or trimester subjects, unit by unit.
  • Concepts do not repeat across caselets, so coverage stays broad and deliberate.
  • Reviewed for conceptual accuracy against each sub-topic before release.

Decision Sims · Stroban Caselets

Stroban Decision Sims

Your syllabus. Your caselets. Marks captured for you.

Decision Sims are built to improve student engagement and outcome attainment. Here is what every rollout brings, and who it helps.

Custom caselets for your programme

Tell us your programme, subjects and units, and we build integrated caselets around real, recent Indian business stories. Each one is reviewed for conceptual accuracy, co-branded with your institution alongside Stroban, and delivered on a schedule agreed with you, timed ahead of the units it supports.

See how co-creation works: five steps from scope to class codes →

Marks, captured automatically

Every graded attempt lands in a Google Sheet we set up and maintain for your programme, with view access for your faculty. One sheet per programme, so records never mix, and every row shows the call each student made.

A live class leaderboard

Every graded submission updates the board, ready to put on the projector. Ranks bring a little healthy competition into the room, while practice runs stay private and never count.

Debrief insights

See how the class actually reasoned.

Because every graded run records the call each student made, decision by decision, you don’t have to guess where students struggled. You walk into the debrief knowing which concepts the batch missed and which decisions split the room.

Learning outcomes · Stroban Caselets

Learning outcomes

Past recall, into judgment.

Most end-of-unit questions check whether a student remembers a definition. A Stroban caselet asks what they would do with it: find the real problem in a live situation, weigh competing pressures, and commit to a call. That is the higher-order learning Bloom’s Taxonomy describes, and the kind an outcome-based syllabus ultimately asks for.

Bloom’s Taxonomy

revised levels
L6CreateProduce a new plan or design
L5EvaluateJudge the best of several believable optionsEvery decision
L4AnalyseBreak the situation down, find the real problemEvery decision
L3ApplyUse a concept in a live, unfamiliar situationBuilt in
L2UnderstandExplain a concept in your own words
L1RememberRecall a definition or factWhere most quizzes stop

Scoring rewards judgment, not just the textbook answer: a sensible real-world alternative earns credit, and a plausible trap is marked as one.

Evidence for NBA and accreditation

  • Mapped to course outcomes. Each decision tests one named syllabus sub-topic, so it maps cleanly to a course outcome (CO) and on to your programme outcomes (POs).
  • Direct assessment, with deterministic marking. Every student is marked on the same basis, and the call made on each decision is recorded alongside the score.
  • Attainment by concept. Each decision maps to one concept and every call is recorded, so concept-wise attainment can be derived for the whole batch. That is the raw material for CO attainment.
  • Experiential, student-centric learning. A documented, technology-enabled method for the teaching-learning criteria that NBA and NAAC reviews look for.

Stroban supplies the instrument and the evidence. CO–PO mapping and attainment targets stay with your institution’s outcome-based education process.

Built in the classroom

Developed, designed and reviewed by experienced educators

Every caselet is written by experienced management educators around a real, recent Indian business story, then reviewed sub-topic by sub-topic for conceptual accuracy against the syllabus. Each decision is pitched at the Analyse and Evaluate levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy, and starting positions and score bands follow a documented design rubric, so every caselet is calibrated the same way.

Bring a caselet to your next session.

Tell us your programme and the subjects you teach, and we’ll set up a short walkthrough of a Decision Sim you can run with your own students, or scope custom caselets for your syllabus.
