Business Case Studies

"The teaching business case studies available on LearningEdge, which fall under the headings of entrepreneurship, leadership/ethics, operations management, strategy, sustainability, and system dynamics, are narratives that facilitate class discussion about a particular business or management issue. Teaching cases are meant to spur debate among students rather than promote a particular point of view or steer students in a specific direction."

"During the period 1987-94 Arthur Andersen funded a $5 million joint project with 525 universities to raise awareness of ethical issues in business. This collection of 90 case studies is one product of that effort."

"The Catalogue offers a wide range of teaching tools – in addition to traditional cases – rooted in the same learning principles as the case method. In particular, the Catalogue includes critical incidents, role-plays, simulations, industry notes, multimedia cases, and complex exercises."

"The Journal of Case Studies (formerly Annual Advances in Business Cases) publishes both decision-based and descriptive cases. Decision-based cases place students in the role of a decision-maker and ask them to make recommendations to effectively handle or deal with the situation described. Descriptive cases provide a description of a real situation and then challenge students to analyze, assess, and evaluate the situation."
