Our Mission: To Improve the Practice of Management and Its Impact in a Changing World

Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, Harvard Business Publishing is the leading provider of teaching materials for management education. HBP-Higher Education offerings include:

Case Method Teaching

Pioneered by Harvard Business School faculty in the 1920s, the case method brings real-life business dilemmas to life in the classroom. Cases provide the reality of managerial decision making – which includes incomplete information, time constraints, and conflicting goals – as students learn how to analyze business situations. The case method packs more experience into each hour of learning than any other instructional approach. It stimulates students' thinking and class discussion is a key aspect of learning. Not only is it the most relevant and practical way to learn managerial skills, it is deeply engaging for students.

Why Case Method?

Students enjoy the lively, participatory nature of an approach that enables them to play an active role in the learning process. They develop strategies, tactics, and solutions.

A study by the National Training Laboratories on learning methods found that participatory teaching methods lead to high levels of learning retention among students. Participant-centered learning (PCL) supports holistic learning for the real world by going beyond the 'knowing' (facts and frameworks) aspect of the learning process and emphasizing the 'doing' (execution) and 'being' (self-awareness and values) aspects.

​

HBP'S Offerings Include:

• Harvard Business School Brief Cases. Rigorous and compact, these cases are 5-8 pages long plus exhibits, and each Brief Case is accompanied by a Teaching Note.

• Core Curriculum Readings that cover foundational concepts and frameworks that students must study as part of their business education.

• Simulations offer powerful experimental learning experiences for students by using real-world contexts to reinforce student learning. They are remarkably teachable, with simple but powerful administration tools.

• Articles from Harvard Business Review and other top management journals, including Business Horizons, California Management Review, IESE-Insight Magazine, MIT Sloan Management Review, and Rotman Magazine.

• eLearning course materials, including online simulations and online courses.

• Books and chapters – from Harvard Business Review Press and other institutions including Business Experts Press, Perseus Books, and Princeton University Press – accompanied in many instances by syllabi and case listings to help instructors integrate books into courses.

• Online coursepack tools that provide an academic discount to students. Educators registered on hbsp.harvard.edu can clear permissions for course material from outside the HBP catalog, upload personal material for use in a course, and deliver digital and print-on-demand coursepacks.
