HBS Cases

HBS and the Case Method

Harvard Business School pioneered the case method of teaching in the 1920s as a way of bringing management lessons to life in the classroom. More than 80 percent of HBS classes are built on the case method.

Cases are written by HBS professors, with research assistance from Knowledge & Library Services staff and Research Associates. Approximately 350 cases are developed at the School each year.
