About the Author
![harvard business review case study format harvard business review case study format](https://s3.amazonaws.com/he-product-images/image/BillEllet.jpg)
William Ellet has worked with MBA students for over thirty years. He has taught at Harvard Business School, Brandeis University, George Washington University, and the University of Miami. He has facilitated case teaching seminars for Harvard Business Publishing and as a consultant in China, Saudi Arabia, the United States, Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Colombia, Peru, Chile, and Brazil. His publications include an online course (Management Communication), this book, cases, and a video, all published by Harvard Business School or Harvard Business Publishing.
With cases, you need to change how you read and, ultimately, how you think. Cases are a jigsaw puzzle with the pieces arranged in a confusing pattern. You need to take the pieces and fit them into a pattern that helps you understand the main issue and think about the optimal ways to address it. You need to be comfortable with less than perfect information and an irreducible level of uncertainty. You need to be able to filter the noise of irrelevant or relatively unimportant information. You need to focus on key tasks that allow you to put pieces together in a meaningful pattern, which in turn will give you a better understanding of the main issue and put you in a position to make impactful recommendations. The Case Reading Process Read the first and last sections of the case. What do they tell you about the core scenario of the case? These sections typically give you the clues needed to identify the core scenario. Take a quick look at the other sections and the exhibits to determine what information the case contains. The purpose is to learn what information is in the case and where. Avoid reading sections slowly and trying to memorize the content. Stop! Now is the time to think rather than read. What is the core scenario of the case? What does the main character have to do? What is the major uncertainty? Identify the core scenario by asking the 2 questions. Once you are reasonably certain of the core scenario—decision, evaluation, or problem diagnosis—you can use the relevant framework to ask the questions in the next step. Those questions will give you a specific agenda for productively exploring the case. What do you need to know to accomplish what the main character has to do or to resolve the major uncertainty? List the things you need to know about the situation. Don’t worry about being wrong. This is probably the most important step of the entire process. If you don’t know what you’re looking for in the case, you won’t find it. The right core scenario framework will prompt you to list things that you need to explore. For example, for a decision scenario case, you should think about the best criteria the main character can use to make the decision. To determine criteria, think about quantitative and qualitative tools you’ve learned that can help you. Go through the case, skim sections, and mark places or takes notes about where you find information that corresponds to the list of things you need to know. You’re ready for a deep dive into the case. Carefully read and analyze the information you’ve identified that is relevant to the things you need to know. As you proceed in your analysis, ask, How does what I’m learning help me understand the main issue? The most efficient and least confusing way to read and analyze is to peel the onion—to study one issue at a time. For instance, let’s say that a decision has financial and marketing criteria. Analyzing the financial issues separately from marketing is far less confusing than trying to switch back and forth. As your analysis moves from issue to issue, you may discover gaps in your knowledge and have to add items to your list of what you need to know. Your ultimate goal is to arrive at a position or conclusion about the case’s main issue, backed by evidence from the case. Remember, there are usually no objectively right answers to a case. The best answer is the one with the strongest evidence backing it. As you learn more, ask, How does what I know help me understand the main issue? When you are preparing a case for class discussion, consider alternative positions. Finally, take some time to think about actions that support your position. What actions does your position support or require? In the real world, analysis is often followed by action. A decision obviously has to be implemented. Usually the entire point of a problem diagnosis is to target action that will solve the problem. And even evaluation has an important action component: sustaining the strengths and shoring up the weaknesses that it has revealed.

The APA Manual does not include instructions on how to cite a Harvard Business Review case study. When citing case studies in APA style you will want to include the typical citation elements and apply general formatting guidelines. The following are examples of how case studies could be cited in APA style, but be sure to check with your professor about how they would like you to cite case studies in your work.

![harvard business review case study format Profile Photo](https://d2jv02qf7xgjwx.cloudfront.net/accounts/31749/profiles/26237/Me2.jpg)
Harvard publishes two types of case studies and these appear in two different sources:
The Wayne State University Libraries do NOT subscribe to the Harvard Business School Press case studies as the cost to do so is prohibitive for a university of our size. However, these case studies are actually quite inexpensive to buy individually.
Cases can, however, be purchased individually at Harvard Business School Press - Cases These cases usually cost approximately $8-10 when purchased directly from Harvard.
- Harvard Business Review
- Look for the link "Search within this publication" on the left, above Publication Details. Then search either for the title provided or for something like: " [business topic keyword] and case studies".
It's quick and easy to find Harvard Business Review articles in the Business Source Complete databases. The ONE issue is that the magazine produces 2 types of articles--those published in the print version of the magazine and those that only appear on the website. Business source complete has these two sources in separate files (links provided below) and the two cannot be searched at the same time. if you have located a title on the HBR.com website and are interested in retrieving it you may need to search both files to locate it as it is very difficult to determine whether the article on the HBR.com website is also in the print magazine or is digital only content..
- For articles that appeared in the print edition of the magazine.
- To search for specific articles: look for the link "Search within this publication" on the left, just above the journal title.
- For articles that only appeared on the hbr.com website, i.e. digital only content.
- To search for specific articles: look for the link "Search within this publication" on the left, just above the journal title.
The Wayne State University Libraries provide access to the Harvard Business Review through the Business Source Complete database for 2 reasons. First, the HBR is simply one business publication and, while it is an important source of management information, students and faculty should generally search for research topics across all available business publications. It is also the case that buying online access to HBR directly from Harvard Business Publishing would be considerably more expensive for an institution of Wayne State's size.
There are, however, some limitations that Harvard Business Publishing imposes on the Business Source Complete database and, by extension, on the students and faculty of Wayne State and other universities that subscribe to the database. (The publisher is actually quite open about the fact that they are doing this to preserve their revenue stream from the articles.)
For approximately 500 of the most popular, most assigned Harvard Business Review articles Harvard Business Publishing limits what users can do with the articles. For these ~500 articles in Business Source Complete:,
- The articles CANNOT be printed
- The articles CANNOT be saved to an individual's Business Source Complete account or emailed to an individual
- Permalinks to a specific article may not work from a course assignment listing in the WSU Canvas course management system
Note, the image below shows how Business Source Complete identifies an article which is under this restriction. In the yellow box above tha article title the text reads:
The publisher offers limited access to this article. The full text cannot be printed or saved.
![harvard business review case study format Image of an example of Ebsco's notice that printing and saving for article are not permitted by the publisher](https://s3.amazonaws.com/libapps/accounts/312/images/HBR_limit_in_Ebsco.png)
Harvard Business Publishing prohibits the use of ALL HBR articles accessible through Business Source Complete in class reserves systems including assignment lists in course management systems such as Canvas.!
The following statement appears at the bottom of all HBR articles.:
Harvard Business Review and Harvard Business Publishing Newsletter content on EBSCOhost is licensed for the private individual use of authorized EBSCOhost users. It is not intended for use as assigned course material in academic institutions nor as corporate learning or training materials in businesses. Academic licensees may not use this content in electronic reserves, electronic course packs, persistent linking from syllabi or by any other means of incorporating the content into course resources. Business licensees may not host this content on learning management systems or use persistent linking or other means to incorporate the content into learning management systems. Harvard Business Publishing will be pleased to grant permission to make this content available through such means. For rates and permission, contact [email protected].
They are serious about this. As such, the Wayne State University Library system maintains a print subscription to the Harvard Business Review. If you need an article from this publication, please use the Libraries' InterLibrary Loan/Document Delivery service to request a copy of the article. I would suggest placing the following statement in the Notes field of the request:
Please fulfill this request using the Libraries' print subscription.

Due to licensing restrictions, Harvard Business School Case Studies are limited to classroom use by individual students. The BU Libraries (including Pardee Library) cannot purchase cases for the library’s collections, or obtain cases through Interlibrary Loan. Individuals may purchase copies of cases for their own personal use directly from Harvard Business Publishing .
Instructors that assign Harvard Business School cases to their students can set up course packs directly with Harvard Business Publishing . Students will need to pay a fee to access the course pack and cost will vary depending on number of cases involved.
If you would rather not pay a fee for cases, please review this guide further for cases available through existing library resources or Open Access Cases (free).
A small number of case studies can be found in Harvard Business Review via our Business Source Complete subscription (1922-present) or in print at Pardee Library (1990-present). To limit your search results in Business Source Complete to case studies, select "Case Study" for the Document Type. Another source for business cases is Harvard Business Review Digital Articles (2007-present). You should also select "Case Study" for the Document Type to limit search results to case studies.
In August 2013, HBR designated 500 of their most popular articles as "read-only" and restricted the ability to print or download those articles in Business Source Complete. While it may change over time, the original list of articles is available here: HBR 500 . If you need an article that is part of the HBR 500, you may be able to access it through our Harvard Business Review print subscription at Pardee Library.
*Faculty: Please note that HBR articles from our Business Source Complete subscription may not be linked to course management systems due to licensing restrictions, however, articles can be purchased directly from Harvard Business School Publishing for inclusion in course packs.
