They are usually written by academic institutions or professional bodies and intended to be used as teaching material. Some case studies are based on real companies; some are entirely fictitious and designed to illustrate a particular situation. Use Business Source Complete adding the phrase "case studies" or "case method” in your search.
You can access key databases from the Business Resources tab, such as COBRA (Complete Business Reference Adviser), an encyclopaedia of practical information for starting, running and managing a small business.
