Case-Study Digitalised Repository (CDR)
Real world business scenarios for the classroom
Teaching cases offer students the opportunity to explore real world challenges in the classroom environment, allowing them to test their assumptions and decision-making skills before taking their knowledge into the workplace. Management and Leadership Case Study Centre, Universiti Utara Malaysia specialises in case content from, and about, emerging markets – regions which are traditionally underrepresented in teaching case collections, but which offer unique and important insights. Through digitalisation, we intend to ease and increase accesses for, and usages of, our teaching cases as well as to widen our user-base to not only for local academics/trainers, but also for our international counterparts.

The project came into being in the late 1990s, to relieve the strain on the existing Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport. KLIA is currently designed to handle around 25 million passengers and one million tonnes of cargo a year. It is to be developed in three phases, building up to a final capacity of 100 million passengers per annum. Only the first phase is under consideration here. The company had to confront with time constraint to complete and operate the mega scale project within 6 years from point of decision to build-normal 10-12 years. At the beginning of the project was the company. To achieve these objectives, it was important for the company to have innovative strategies in managing the project. |
