The case method is a teaching approach that consists in presenting the students with a case, putting them in the role of a decision maker facing a problem (Hammond 1976).
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

The case method is a teaching method that is largely used in business schools. For instance it was used at the Harvard Business School since the founding of the school in 1908 (Corey 1998).
Teaching cases
Teaching cases are available in clearing repositories such as the European Case Clearing House.
The writing of teaching cases is an activity that is conducted by a number of business school faculty in parallel to the writing of academic papers. Teaching cases competitions are organized (in particular by European Case Clearing House) to determine the best teaching cases. Some of the institutions that are the most active at writing teaching cases (as determined by the quantity and quality validated by awards) are: Harvard Business School and INSEAD.
