The Case Centre Impact Index 2023: No. 50

The Fox School of Business at Temple University has a distinguished tradition of preparing business leaders, professionals and entrepreneurs for successful careers. It is the largest, most comprehensive business school in the greater Philadelphia region.

Thoroughly committed to providing student-centered education and professional development relevant to today’s digital, global economy - the Fox School integrates technology into the curriculum and classroom, and encourages entrepreneurship and innovation throughout its programs.

The Fox School places great emphasis on translating the insights of academic research into practical applications in industry, led by its Translational Research Center. Fox research faculty are committed to developing new ideas and creating knowledge for the benefit of the community, industry, and society.

In 2019, the Fox School launched a new strategic plan. Fox Strategic Plan 2025 is composed of four distinct pillars: educational innovation, research leadership, inclusive culture, and community engagement. Case-based learning unites these four pillars in the following ways: 

1. Educational Innovation: The case method offers significant opportunities for experiential learning by encouraging students to analyze and solve complex real-world business challenges.
2. Research Leadership: The development of relevant primary and secondary-sourced teaching cases can help illuminate contemporary business issues.
3. Inclusive Culture: Fox cases feature stories from people all over the globe and include a diverse array of business leaders tackling different organizational headwinds.
4. Community Engagement: Dynamic cases rely on relationships between the faculty writer and the case subject. Through case writing, ties to business and organizational leaders are strengthened locally, nationally, and abroad. 

Since 2022, The Case Centre has received 38 new cases for distribution from Fox School authors. In total the collection available through The Case Centre numbers 80 cases, many with accompanying instructor materials, software and videos. Three of those are prize-winning cases.
