Students, Faculty Reflect on 100 Years of Harvard Business School’s Case Method
The Harvard Crimson | 13th Dec'21
The Harvard Crimson | 13th Dec'21
- After years of research, HBS adopted the case method as an effective way to teach college graduates business, leadership, and management. Vilangadu G. Narayanan, HBS professor, traced the origins of the method to approaches pioneered by law and medical schools.
- Students discuss more than 500 cases during their years at HBS. An important aspect of the class is calling the students randomly to start the discussion. The purpose is to encourage the class collectively, and professors are trusted to pull voices that will be useful to the discussion.
- Case studies are like "boardrooms," says Ethan S. Bernstein, HBS professor and '02 graduate. It is a versatile method of teaching that prepares students to put their case study learnings onto real-world problems and experiences.
- HBS professor Rebecca A. Karp says the case method hones students' ability to form an argument using evidence-based analysis. "You can't just have an opinion willy nilly. It would be best if you used the facts of the case to make your point. That is such an important lesson to learn in the world of business."
