Copenhagen Business School (CBS) was established in 1917 and today is one of the largest business schools in Europe with 20,000 students and 1,500 employees. As one of the eight Danish universities, CBS is Denmark’s largest educational and research institution within business administration and economics in a wide sense. CBS is committed to providing transformational business-related education programmes and continuing education by leveraging global intellectual leadership and tackling challenges with curiosity, creative new ideas and collaborative engagement. In 2021, CBS established the Nordic Case House to research and write high quality cases that reflect business and managerial challenges in the 21st century. With a focus on the Nordic economic model, the CBS case collection supports the development of managers and leaders. Since 2016, CBS has also developed the Free Case collection as part of a continuous commitment to the Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME). The CBS free teaching cases have a specific focus on sustainability and responsible management from a broad business and societal perspective. The cases and teaching notes reflect the diversity of CBS faculty and bring topical and complex issues to life in the classrooms. Since 2022, The Case Centre has received 30 new cases for distribution from CBS authors. In total the collection available through The Case Centre numbers 145 cases, many with accompanying instructor materials, software and videos. 11 of those are prize-winning cases. |

"At CBS, we approach opportunities and dilemmas in business and society with an innovative and critical mindset. Developing teaching cases in our programmes is one of the ways in which we achieve our core strategic priorities. Cases strengthen both fundamental business knowledge and build transformational capabilities in our students through active engagement in classrooms and by collaboratively reaching solutions and recommendations.
"CBS supports faculty in writing teaching cases as this brings about new ways of integrating latest research into education, as well as new collaborations, both among CBS’s diverse staff, but also with the business, government and civil society.
"CBS is committed to developing further our case writing capabilities and to supporting the two case collections distributed by The Case Centre – the Nordic Case House and the Free case collection (PRME). The cases that are part of the Free case collection further underline CBS’ mission to creating societal change and achieving global impact through education.
"We are very proud to see CBS ranked among the first 10 universities worldwide in The Case Centre Impact Index. This result is a testament to our staff’s dedication and talent and to their constant commitment to the delivery of high-quality and impact-oriented education. This also demonstrates that our case writing initiatives are having a positive impact on business education globally."
