Cases

Case studies recount real life business or management situations that present business executives with a dilemma or uncertain outcome. The case describes the scenario in the context of the events, people and factors that influence it and enables students to identify closely with those involved. Management cases are generally written by business school faculty with particular learning objectives in mind and are refined in the classroom before publication. Relevant documentation or audio-visual items and a carefully crafted teaching note often accompany a case.

The mission of ecch is to encourage and facilitate the use of cases in teaching. In this section of the website you can find out about the cases in the ecch collection and how to use them.

There are introductions and links to many of the case authoring institutions and guidance for writing and registering your own cases. There is guidance on teaching with cases and historical material on the development of the case method of learning.
