Case Studies

A case study is an excellent way to learn more about business challenges and situations, and provides a great way to evaluate how people respond. Analysing a case study based on real world issues, offers opportunities to learn what has worked well, what has not, and what you may change in the future.

For academic teaching staff, the Library is unable to purchase case studies from Harvard Business Publishing, as the publisher does not supply case studies to academic libraries.

The Library has an institutional membership to The Case Centre, formerly known as ECCH, which is an independent not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting the case method for business education and provides support to academics developing case studies for learning and teaching.

There are numerous sources available to find case studies and the main platforms and sources are listed below.
