About the Wits Business School case collection

Wits Business School makes extensive use of the case method in our classrooms and we have a number of skilled case teachers on our staff. Recognising that the South African business environment has many unique characteristics which cannot be explored in international cases, we established the Case Centre in 1999 to research and write cases on South African business. To ensure that our cases are of the highest standard, we retained a Harvard-trained case writer to help develop the specialised skills we needed. Today those skills are firmly entrenched in the Case Centre and its approach to case writing.

With more than 50 cases in our collection, WBS is now the largest producer of case studies in Africa and our repertoire of cases is growing continually. Our cases cover all areas of business and management, including strategy, organisational design and development, globalisation and human resources. They are increasingly used across the world by universities, educational institutions and corporations, and highly regarded for the quality of debate and learning that they generate.

Wits Business School

As a school of University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg (South Africa), the Wits Business School (WBS) is situated in the financial heart of southern Africa. We aim to develop global leaders sculpted in Africa. For the past 5 years WBS has been acknowledged as providing the best MBA in the country. This year (in 2004) we have been ranked as the best business school brand in the country.

We have a highly interactive approach to management education, driven by leading edge business concepts and drawing on both international and South African best practice. We have unique and extensive experience of change and the demands that it makes on both developed and developing countries.

We maintain close relationships with South African businesses and employers and ensure that we remain relevant to the business context of the students we serve. We are recognised as a leader in curriculum development, especially in the areas of technology, entrepreneurship and globalisation.
