On the whole, the development of this learning experiment showed that:
• Both students and the lecturer were relatively conservatives on the way they have approached the learning process: the students presented a fairly passive behaviour and the lecturer thought it was important to teach something and transmit his knowledge about the theme and did not give the students the opportunity to look for theoretical support themselves;
• The development of the case study motivated the students to understand abstract concepts and to discuss real problems with the support of the theory; the process of collecting and analysing data helped them to understand some management concepts that were presented to them earlier in the course.
