Starting 8/1/2013, Harvard Business Review changed its policy on printing some of its most-read articles. The top 500 articles have been set to "read only," which means that they cannot be printed. These restrictions extend to emailing, saving and persistent links which means that they cannot be posted in a CMS. A PDF of the article may be downloaded and saved, but printing has been disabled within the file. Students are welcome to search and find them in Business Source Premier and read them at their convenience.

The spreadsheet above is a list of the 500 articles impacted by this change. If you have any problems printing an HBR article, please consult this list to see if it appears; if so, it has been designated as "read only." If it is not on this list, please contact me or another business librarian and we will troubleshoot the problem.

Bold ideas developed by world-class researchers working with real-world practitioners, and a powerful pedagogy built around participant-centered learning in highly structured, interactive engagements.

This academic year, Harvard Business School is celebrating the 100-year anniversary of the introduction of the case method. Learn more about the past, present, and future of this groundbreaking learning approach.

The 2021-22 academic year marks the 100-year anniversary of the introduction of the case method at Harvard Business School. Today, the HBS case method is employed in the HBS MBA program, in Executive Education programs, and in dozens of other business schools around the world. As Dean Srikant Datar's says, the case method has withstood the test of time.

"Langdell conceived of a way to systematize and simplify legal education by focusing on previous case law that furthered principles or doctrines. To that end, Langdell wrote the first casebook, entitled A Selection of Cases on the Law of Contracts, a collection of settled cases that would illuminate the current state of contract law. Students read the cases and came prepared to analyze them during Socratic question-and-answer sessions in class." With the case method, pedagogical emphasis shifted from facts and theories to practical situations and outcomes. This shift was part of a larger cultural movement toward instrumentalism and pragmatism that engaged philosophers such as John Dewey.

Law students could practice skills they would need in the courtroom, while also absorbing the outcomes-the settled case law-that they would have to draw on as practicing lawyers. Rather than just absorbing facts and ideas presented by a professor, students could analyze a real-life situation. And rather than listening passively to a lecture, they could discuss and debate the situation from different perspectives.

The transition was not easy; in fact, many students quit Langdell's class. But with support from his dean, he persisted and the method caught on. A decade later, one Harvard Law School student who took note of this new teaching approach was Wallace Brett Donham.

The first business case, written by Clinton Biddle and published in 1921, was a one-page narrative about a management challenge facing leaders at the General Shoe Company. The case proved to be a very successful teaching tool, and many more cases followed.

To celebrate 100 years of the case method, we will be presenting reflections on this important teaching method on our website, Celebrating 100 years of Case Method Teaching & Learning. We invite you to:

Instituted in the 1920s, the case method continues to be a cornerstone of the HBS academic experience. The HBS Archives in Baker Library Special Collections and Archives holds over 50,000 retired cases which are available for research.

Instituted in 1920s, the case method continues to be a cornerstone of the HBS academic experience. The HBS Archives in Baker Library Special Collections and Archives holds over 50,000 retired cases, starting from the first cases published in 1921 through cases removed from Harvard Business Publishing in the early 2000s.

The HBS Archives include the records of Harvard Business School from its founding in 1908 to the present day. The archives are a rich resource to learn about subjects such as: the development of the case method, changes in curriculum, the intersection of the School and innovations in business, and the global impact of Harvard Business School.

Due to publishers' terms and copyright restrictions, business school case studies are unavailable through the library or its course readings (reserve) service. For alternatives, try the library's database subscription for Sage Business Cases.

Although some library resources contain case studies, the Sheridan Libraries is unable to provide or borrow/lend individual case studies published by Harvard and other business schools or organizations. Faculty and students may search for and obtain specific case studies directly from the publishers, or from Harvard Business School for selected institutions. Students can access assigned cases for their course through the particular arrangement that the professor established with the publisher.

Often, the professor fades into the background and lets the focus shift to interviews with executives, industry leaders, and small business owners. Some students might be left thinking, "Wait, where did that professor go? Why am I learning about a grocery store in Harvard Square?"

Back in the 1920s, HBS professors decided to develop and experiment with innovative and unique business instruction methods. As the first school in the world to design a signature, distinctive program in business, later to be called the MBA, there was a need for a teaching method that would benefit this novel approach.
