Finding Business Case Studies
“I need to find a case study about…..”
I actually get this question pretty often. Students want to find a case study that addresses a particular business situation or company. Often times, they are looking for the Harvard Business Cases. Unfortunately, Harvard Publishing will not allow libraries to purchase the Harvard case studies. Instead, students and professors need to purchase the cases directly from Harvard. Typically, they are around $6.00 – $7.00. Go to this link to purchase: http://www.hbsp.harvard.edu/hbsp/case_studies.jsp.
Looking for other case studies? Try our Business Source Premier database http://www.lib.auburn.edu/BSP. Remember that if you’re off-campus, you’ll need to login with your Auburn ID and password. On the front page, type in a company or business practice. Then, scroll down the page a little and under document type select “case study”. These are usually case studies that have been published in other journals or trade publications. Note that the Harvard cases may appear in the results, but they won’t be full-text.
The ECCH, European Case Clearing House Online. http://www.ecch.com/ It has studies from a number of different universities, including Harvard, Stanford, Babson, Darden, etc. From their website: Over 24,000 cases on all aspects of national and international business and management, authored worldwide, are available in the ecch case collection. Most cases are in English, with about 250 cases also available in another language. A typical case may average between ten and thirty slides with some supporting graphics or data. Purchase information is included on their website.
