"Case studies are stories. They present realistic, complex, and contextually rich situations and often involve a dilemma, conflict, or problem that one or more of the characters in the case must negotiate." ( Read more from the Eberly Center at Carnegie Mellon University ) 

A good way to locate case studies is to do a keyword search in one or more of the library's databases or try searching using the Everything search in the library website.

Try adding case study or c ase studies to your search.  Examples:

  • case study AND environmental remediation
  • case  studies AND management
  • "case studies" AND airlines
  • "case studies" AND management

LibrarySearch

LibrarySearch is one place to start when looking for case studies.  You can find specialised case study journals, books that include case studies, and articles based on case studies.

Search tips

LibrarySearch does not include Case Study as a resource type. Try using the following search terms (including the inverted commas):  

  • "case study"
  • "case studies"
  • "case stud * "
  • "case report"

Within databases you can often find case studies in journals aimed at academic or professional audiences.

  • Check the Advanced Search options to see if you can filter your search by Case Study or Case Studies.  This might be under Document Type or Subjects.
  • In the search results list look for options to refine by Case Study.  This might be to the right or left of the results.
  • Add  "case stud*"  or  "case report"  to your search term if you can't see the above two options.

A Google search will find case studies in a variety of formats such as government reports, academic articles and websites.  

Use Advanced Search (under Settings) to target your search.

  • Use Region and/or Last Update to filter a specific country and/or time.
  • Use Usage Rights to choose materials free to use, share or modify for teaching.
  • Use Site or Domain to look for materials published by government, NGO or academic entities: 

.edu   will find materials published in Australia or the US by academic institutions.

.ac  will find materials published in the UK by academic institutions.

.gov  will find materials published by governments.

.org  will find materials published by NGOs.

Google Scholar

Find case studies published in academic journals, books and conference proceedings.

  • Access Google Scholar from the  Library homepage  to link through to Library subscribed resources.
  • Add "case study", "case studies" or "case report" to your search terms.

YouTube videos include material from experts and non-experts on any subject you care to name.

  • Add 'case study' to your search.
  • To better filter video content use the main Google search options to search for Videos.  This will return video content hosted by YouTube and elsewhere.

Finding case studies

On this page, introduction, finding cases, sample cases, developing and analysing cases.

"Case studies" can mean examples from organizations provided simply to illustrate a point or descriptions of organizational situations designed to be interpreted and analyzed by a learner. The resources below provide a mix of all types of case studies.

This guide also includes some resources that will be of more use to students (e.g., the tips on finding case studies in databases) and other resources that instructors will find useful (e.g., the links to case clearinghouses).

If you don't find what you need here, don't hesitate to ask for help .

  New!  We've recently added another 500+ new cases to our Sage Business Cases resource! 

Logo of SAGE Business Cases

Try searching the SFU Library catalogue  and include ( case study OR case studies OR cases ) as part of your search. Check out these sample searches:

("case study" OR "case studies" OR cases) AND "organizational behavior"

("case study" OR "case studies" OR cases) AND "strategic management"

("case study" OR "case studies" OR cases) AND "project management"

Also try an Advanced Search  in which you look for case studies in the Subject field, combined with your specific need (entrepreneurship? strategy?) as a Keyword. Add case* in the Title field as well to increase your chance of getting books that contain large numbers of cases. You can also start by  searching for books that have cases in the title AND " case studies" in the subject .

In the SFU Library catalogue, try searching for theses & graduating projects by SFU Business students. Such publications often involve specific case studies. Try searching the catalogue  again, but this time combine the word theses (plural) with your topic. See these sample searches for example theses AND "electronic commerce"  // theses AND "electronic arts" .  Also, try Dissertations and Theses Abstracts and Index  for theses completed elsewhere. See our guide to Finding University Theses and Projects from Simon Fraser and Other Universities for more suggestions.

  • In Business Source Complete enter your search terms, then either check off the Document Type Case study or include the Subject Case studies as part of your search.
  • CBCA Fulltext Business offers similar ways of finding case studies: either choose the Document Type (click on More Search Options) Case study or include the Subject Case studies as part of your search.
  • See the Sample cases area below for some specific journals focusing on business cases.

Websites & databases

Most cases sold by places such as Harvard or the Richard Ivey School of Business are not available via the library. You usually need to pay for the cases if you are not a faculty member, or if you are a faculty member and you want to assign cases in your class. If you are a student and a case has been assigned as a reading in your class, double check with your instructor to see if the case might have been pre-purchased for all members of your class.

Sage Business Cases A global and diverse collection of case studies designed to help students see theoretical business concepts put into practice. This collection is available to all SFU students, instructors, and alumni. See this blog post for further details.

Harvard Business School Cases Harvard's cases are available for direct purchase from the HBR Store .  Qualified and registered instructors  can access Harvard's Educator site to preview cases and access Teaching Notes and other supporting materials. Also see below for a discussion on how to find a small number of HBS cases in the Harvard Business Review.

The Case Centre (formerly the European Case Clearing House) "[T]he largest single source . . . of management case studies in the world. We hold and distribute all cases produced by the world's best-known management teaching establishments, as well as case studies in many languages produced by individual authors from almost every corner of the globe." Search for a case, then click on the link for an "inspection copy" (if available) and follow the links to register as a faculty member.

Richard Ivey School of Business - Cases Faculty can register to preview cases. Note that we have several books in the Ivey Casebook Series .

Cases online via the Harvard Business Review 

Try searching for Harvard Business Review in the Publication Name field in Business Source Complete, then checking the box to limit your search to the Document Type " case study."  Add in other terms to focus your search. 

Note that only a very small subset of all Harvard Business School (HBS) cases are published in the HBR.  The majority of Harvard's business cases are sold only to individuals and classes, not to libraries for use by the entire institution.

Journals that feature case studies

  • Journal of Information Technology Teaching Cases : provides "suitable, contemporary case materials for teaching topics in the organisation and management of information systems and on the social consequences of information technology." Note that this is a spin-off journal from the Journal of Information Technology which used to publish such cases. 
  • International Journal of Case Studies in Management : Cases from 2003-2012 available via our CBCA database.
  • International Journal of Management Cases : The IJMC is the official journal of the CIRCLE Research Centre. CIRCLE (Centre for International Research Consumers, Locations and their Environments) is a virtual research group in over 70 universities.

  • Company-specific case studies: Intended as examples of how customers have used or could use their products: IBM , Intel , and LANSA .
  • Advertising Educational Foundation: Case histories : "Case histories give you an inside look at the steps advertising agencies and advertisers take to create a campaign and how effective it can be.

  • MarketLine cases in Business Source : Mostly strategic analysis cases featuring large, global companies.
  • Open Case Studies : An interdisciplinary collection of cases from UBC that are licensed to allow others to revise and reuse them. Very few of the cases are explicitly categorized as "business," but many of the cases on topics such as Conservation may be useful in a business context.

  An example of case analysis that might give you a sense of what's expected/possible: 

In 1989, the journal Interfaces published an HBS case and asked its readers to submit their analyses. Those analyses were then compiled into two subsequent articles, providing a useful example of the many ways business issues could be viewed and resolved.

Initial case : Porteus, E. L. (1989). The Case Analysis Section: National Cranberry Cooperative . Interfaces, 19 (6), 29–39. https://doi-org.proxy.lib.sfu.ca/10.1287/inte.19.6.29 (Note: this case has been revised multiple times. If it is assigned in your class, make sure you are using the most current revision, mostly likely only available via HBS.)

Analyses:  #1: Porteus, E. L. (1993). Case Analysis: Analyses of the National Cranberry Cooperative -- 1. Tactical Options . Interfaces, 23 (4), 21–39. https://doi-org.proxy.lib.sfu.ca/10.1287/inte.23.4.21

Management Library

Some case studies can be found in article databases such as  EBSCO's Business Source Complete though most Harvard cases will not be available full-text. In addition, many schools sell cases for a small fee or provide some cases for free. You can either visit their individual websites (Darden, Harvard, INSEAD, Ivey, Kellogg, Sloan, and Stanford) or use an aggregator, such as  The Case Centre , to search and purchase a case study. At present, the library does not purchase cases used in Cornell classes as these are almost always part of the required class course pack.
