This is a capstone subject for the program consisting of selected case studies from topics including: financial management, investment management, portfolio analysis, derivatives and risk management, mergers and acquisitions, raising capital and other topical issues. The case studies describe actual business situations faced by financial managers, which requires analysis and decision-making.
This book presents new research on innovative financial instruments and approaches available to implement nature-based solutions (NBS) at various scales and in different contexts. Despite knowledge of the multiple benefits NBS provide, a key barrier to their wide-spread adoption is a lack of knowledge over their financing, in particular, who should pay for an NBS and how it can be financed. The book explores a variety of public, private, and blended finance models and their applicability in developing NBS across terrestrial and marine ecosystems, involving multiple stakeholders, and in jurisdictions of varying climates and income levels. Furthermore, the book provides case studies of the innovative financing of NBS with best practices identified. This book is of interest to environmental planners, resource conservation managers, policymakers, international companies and organizations, environmental NGOs, researchers, and graduate and undergraduate students interested in NBS.

Today, the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) published a conceptual note highlighting the three key areas to be covered in the NGFS Blended Finance Handbook that is targeted for release at COP28.
The NGFS can contribute to the global collaborative effort to scale up blended finance for climate adaptation and mitigation in both developed and emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs). The NGFS aims to raise awareness of good practices and principles that underpin the scaling up of climate blended finance and rally key public and private stakeholders to bring this about.
Some other important, albeit overlooked, dimensions of a successful scaling-up relate more directly to central banking and supervisory responsibilities, including fostering a macrofinancial and regulatory environment that enables blended finance to flourish, and managing potential tensions between the need to mobilise private capital for blended finance as well as address potential risks associated with an increase in external financing.
This blended finance initiative will also complement the NGFS core work of supporting its members in assessing the macroeconomic and financial stability implications of climate change and adjusting their policy actions accordingly.
The NGFS aims to publish the Handbook by COP28, along with a showcase of demonstrative blended finance projects that will spotlight projects that have incorporated effective mechanisms to promote the scaling of blended finance.
The Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), launched at the Paris One Planet Summit on 12 December 2017, is a group of central banks and supervisors, which on a voluntary basis is willing to share best practices and contribute to the development of environment and climate risk management in the financial sector, and to mobilize mainstream finance to support the transition toward a sustainable economy. The NGFS brings together 127 central banks and supervisors and 20 observers. Together, they represent five continents and more than 88% of global greenhouse gas emissions and are responsible for the supervision of all global systemically important banks and 80% of the internationally active insurance groups. The NGFS is chaired by Ravi Menon, Managing Director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The Secretariat, headed by Jean Boissinot, is provided by Banque de France.
Integrating Compassion into the Financial Services Industry: A Guide and Personal Reflections from Leaders in Finance brings together testimony from leaders at global banks and investment firms with insights from scholars in academia whose studies include the components of compassion such as generosity and forgiveness. Launched at Thunderbird School of Global Management at Arizona State University on February 22, 2024, it is intended as a practical handbook that can guide its readers to build a better, more compassionate, and peaceful world.
Scientific data and specific examples from practitioners in the financial services industry demonstrate how compassion helps overcome obstacles, supports sound decision-making, and fosters innovation. Contributors explore the tension between compassion and profitability and the way that compassion contributes to good governance in pursuit of both operational excellence and revenue generation. They also discuss the role of compassion in effective leadership and how it can help us learn from failure. Case studies provide real-world examples.
Authors include executives from MUFG, Bank of America, Apollo Asset Management, Franklin Templeton, and Thunderbird School of Global Management at Arizona State University, supported by the key partnership of White & Case LLP. The result is a joint effort in the common interest and does not favor or represent the official view of any specific organization.
How to search: For the first 3 databases, in the advanced search interface, limit your "document type" to "case study", then click the "full text" box. In the search boxes, include the topic or company you're researching. For Ebook Central, put "case stud*" in one of the advanced search boxes and make sure it is searching the "title". (The asterisk will retrieve books that mention "case study" or "case studies" in their titles.) Include your topic or company of interest in the remaining search box. Some case studies in these databases will not be structured in a traditional business case format.
Search the Library Catalog to locate books and ebooks that contain case studies. Search for "case studies" AND a keyword relevant to your research topic. Below are some results from a sample search of "case studies" AND "finance":
A: Typically no. Contemporary case studies are not available via ILL due to how they are licensed by Harvard for use by only one individual. Very rarely, an old case may be available via ILL, but this is uncommon.
A: Faculty from any major college or university can sign up for a Harvard Business Publishing Educator account. These accounts give professors free access to most case study content - after they confirm your faculty standing - in order for you to evaluate materials for use in your class. Students must still purchase any materials assigned by for your course, or access it via the library's subscriptions (if available). Please note that Educator accounts are not affiliated with the library: we cannot grant access.
The unit provides an understanding of the finance industry and its integral role in the modern economy. The focus is on a high level, fully integrated overview of the major participants, their roles, interactions and the purpose they endeavour to fill for all stakeholders in the economy. The key structures of the finance system are examined, and how they usually work and sometimes do not work. Case studies of actual events and participants will be used to provide a sense of the application of finance in the real world - what actually happens as well as what should happen.
This capstone subject integrates the knowledge and skills acquired in other subjects in the degree and applies them to a series of real-world case studies. The subject consists of six two-week modules, each of which focuses on a case from a particular area of Finance. The case is introduced and studied in the first week of each module, while the second week is devoted to discussion and analysis, where students apply the theory and techniques from earlier subjects to the case.
This section presents a series of case studies of freight projects and programs that seek to improve air quality and reduce freight-related emissions. These case studies provide real-world examples of the operational, infrastructure, and technology solutions being used to solve freight air quality problems. Each case study identifies "key themes" for freight and air quality practice, allowing practitioners to quickly identify case studies that may be most relevant to their interests. The case studies are organized according as to whether the emission reduction strategies employed are technological in nature (e.g., diesel engine retrofits) or operational (e.g., congestion management).
