Finding Case Studies

Sage Business Cases

This database offers thousands of global business cases covering a range of topics such as accounting, finance, entrepreneurship, marketing, operations management, strategic management, business ethics & corporate social responsibility, diversity, and more.

Key Features:

Reduced Course Cost: Through Lavery Library’s subscription to Sage, these case studies and teaching notes are free for you and your students. (Unlike Harvard Business Review case studies.)
Global Perspectives: Cases from various industries and regions.
Multimedia Resources in Brightspace: Supplementary videos, data sets, and audio. And you can link to them into your Brightspace course. (You can ask me for help.)

Accessing Sage Business Cases:

Visit Lavery Library’s Databases A-Z page and select Sage Business Cases.
Log in with your Fisher credentials if you are off campus.
Browse and integrate cases into your curriculum. You can copy the link or embed code to add to Brightspace. I can assist you with this.

Harvard Business School Cases

Harvard Business Review (HBR) will not sell the cases to libraries nor will they allow libraries to share these resources through Interlibrary Loan. HBR Case Study articles may not be copied from library databases for use in class

This is a rule established by HBR, not the library.

Professors or students must purchase the HBR case studies from their website:
