CBS Library offers a number of options when it comes to finding cases for your teaching or research. You can search in Libsearch, our library catalogue, or in our databases, or you can visit the Case Centre where you can order cases for your teaching.
When using Libsearch remember this:
If you are looking for material containing cases, use the keyword cases and combine this with another relevant keyword.
If your goal is to find material on the use of cases, use the keyword case studies-methods.
Books on the case study method are mainly located under shelf number 303.4 (second floor) in the library at Solbjerg Plads.
Using the databases:
You can start with any of several databases. If you want to find cases visit, e.g., Business Source Ultimate, Emerald Insight, or ScienceDirect. Read more about search options in these databases in our Libguide about cases.
Using the Case Centre:
The Case Centre offers a broad collection of cases from, e.g., IMD, INSEAD, London Business School, and Harvard Business School.
CBS is member of the Case Centre, so staff members can sign up and order cases for teaching use. There is a fee but you can order a free inspection copy before you decide to order for your students. If you decide to use one, you must order one copy per student; copying the cases is not allowed. The cases can be paid for via invoice or credit card by you or your department.
A more practical solution could be to let the students order the cases themselves directly at the Case Centre or alternatively from Harvard Business School Publishing.
You can read more on cases from the Case Centre on Share.
