Case studies
Business case studies outline fictitious or real-life scenarios faced by sectors and industries, managers and companies. Cases are frequently used within Business subject disciplines for teaching, research and problem solving. Students may be asked to analyse a case study or produce one for an assignment.
University Library Services subscribe to a number of resources that provide access to business cases, with the ability to browse or search by theme, keyword and industry. Case studies can also be found in books, journals and freely online.
