Case collections

Teaching cases from CBS CBS’s faculty members publish high-quality, award winning teaching cases to be used by educators at universities around the world. The teaching cases are developed in collaboration with businesses who share a dilemma that students can explore in class. Educators can browse CBS’s case collection on two large case distribution platforms run by the reputable publishers Harvard Business Publishing and The Case Centre.

CBS Case Collections

The Nordic Case House Collection

The Nordic Case House Collection has a strong focus on Nordic companies and/or addressing business issues through a “Nordic lens”.

The Nordic Case House (NCH) is a strategic initiative at CBS, established in 2021, and aimed at promoting case development, publishing, and teaching. The team brings knowledge on case development and publishing, case-based teaching, and business collaboration. The Nordic Case House is administered by the Education Development and Quality office at CBS.

The CBS Free Case Collection

This collection of teaching cases is part of CBS’ long standing engagement in the UN PRME initiative and contains teaching cases authored by CBS faculty in collaboration with CBS students and faculty from partner universities.

Cases in this collection have a specific focus on responsible management, sustainability and ESG and can be used in a very diverse range of teaching subjects or pedagogical approaches.

All cases in this collection are free of charge and they only require that the faculty using them creates a profile on Case Centre website. Get an overview of our current case collection on the website.

The collection was established in 2012 and since then cases from the collection have received multiple “Best Case” awards and have been featured and recognized by The Case Centre organization. The CBS Free Case Collection is administered by the Green Office at CBS.
