Why Case Studies?

Companies need to adopt effective CSR communication strategies and processdocumentation which directly or indirectly improve better communication

across all stakeholders resulting in better branding and recognition.

‘Case study’ derives its origin from the Latin word ‘Casus’ and refers to a

natural existing phenomenon since the case itself exists before and after the

study is accomplished. Preparing a case study implies studying things as they

naturally appear without any artificial changes. Focusing more on researching

relations rather than results; qualitative research investigates fewer units, but

more intensely. The aim of a case study is to get access to ‘the precise

description or reconstruction of a case’ (Flick, 2006).

There are some excellent initiatives being undertaken by some of the major

companies or industry units. These compare well with those of the best in other

parts of the country. While there is need to compliment and reward those who

are actively CSR savvy, there is greater need to inculcate confidence in the

society that the company does not only care for business but also believes in

the exaltation, empowerment and amelioration of the society around it.

When writing a case study (CS) on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects or

initiatives, the CSR leaders should proceed in 3 steps to accomplish it. The first and

foremost step is effective planning, on how to design the case study. The second step is to

compile relevant information and elaborating the process and practices. The third and final

step is to consolidate and strengthen the facts with analysis and evidence based success

stories.

I- Introduction - Covered history of the area, why adopted new approaches.

Planning-how adopted the social approaches, who have

involved mainly key persons.

II- Implementation - Design with the stakeholder and accomplished, participatory

approaches (if used), socio-economic base, process flow chart

with chronological method, how to get/achieved goal with

details of challenges and time frame achievement,

methodology (all methods should be appeared in CS).

III- Outcome - Result with adequacy (acceptability) of stakeholders, proper

documentary evidence (hard and soft), financial involvement

and profit in terms society and economy, summing-up note and

acknowledgment.

Total Frame Work of III Steps Are:

How to Design the Case Study?

Case study should follow the problem-solution-benefits flow. First,

describe the social challenges or problems or issues; next, describethe mitigations to this problem or issue and finally, describe on how

the society benefitted from the particular mitigation strategy (more

on this below). This natural story-telling sequence resonates with

readers. The narration style must adopt indirect form of speech.

The case study should focus on specific CSR practices of your

Guidelines for Preparing Case Study

08



All company information collected

will be reserved secret. However,

INDIACSR will not be liable for any

loss resulting from the disclosure ofinformation in the application for

case study completion. The jury will

have the exclusive right to accept or

reject any application based on its

discretion and such decisions will

be final.

Give yourself plenty of time.

Take your time to complete them. Make sure to get them in on time as there will be no extensions, noexceptions.

Write clearly and concisely.

Remember that the judging panel will read many case study/ applications so getting your point across in a

clear and succinct manner is vital. Avoid jargon.

Write what is important and relevant.

Make sure to mention that are important and relevant without going off on a tangent. Strictly follow the

specified word counts/limit.

Facts are king.

If you have evidence, statistics or results that back up your story, use them! Statements showing

deliverables achieved rather than plans for future delivery have much more credibility.

Wider CSR agenda.Outlining how your project fits in with your company's CSR agenda is the judging panel's only insight into

the general CSR ethos and strategy of the company. Be careful to make a clear connection between the

project you are entering and the company's overall CSR strategy.

Proof read.

Remember to carefully proof read your case study for silly mistakes. It's often

a good idea to get someone outside of the project to read the case study, if they don't understand it, there's

a good chance the judges won't either.

Never assume.

Never assume that the judging panel knows everything about your business or CSR projects . It's your job to

make sure that your case study can proof its uniqueness.
