Business: Teaching Materials

 Harvard Business School Cases

Due to copyright restrictions, Harvard Business school case studies are unavailable through the library or its course reserve service. As per the Harvard Business School Baker Library's policy on requesting cases, HBS cases can only be purchased via Harvard Business School Publishing for Educators for teaching or from the Harvard Business Review Store for non-educators.

Students can purchase cases directly through Harvard Business Publishing for a small fee if the professor creates a coursepack. Instructors can purchase the rights from the publisher to photocopy their personal copy for students. Copyright permission requests grant the right to make that quantity of paper copies that you produce and distribute yourself.

The Harvard Business Review does not include the Business School case studies, however it does publish one case study per issue. The Harvard Business Review is available in print in the Library and online via EBSCO Business Source Premier database. Old cases can be found online by selecting "Case Study" under Document Type in combination with company names or terms of interest. 

Harvard Business Articles

As of August 2013, some changes are made to Harvard Business Review (HBR) article access via databases.  The access to 500 articles will be limited in in  database.  These articles are "read only", meaning no download to print or save on a disk.

As per EBSCO, these articles are the ones that HBR has chosen.  It is a static list and it will not change yearly.  However, HBR owns the content and can certainly make a change again if they choose to.  These articles will be clearly marked "read only" in the database in order to differentiate them from the rest of HBR articles.
