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 2023, The Case Centre has received 19 new cases for distribution from CBS authors. In total the collection available through The Case Centre numbers 151 cases, many with accompanying instructor materials, software and videos. 15 of those are prize-winning cases. |

“At Copenhagen Business School (CBS), we aim that our students have the capabilities to tackle today’s complex challenges in business and society with a commitment to innovation and a critical approach.
“Integrating teaching cases into our programmes is a key element of our strategy to build both foundational knowledge and transformative skills in our students. Through case-based learning, students actively engage in the complexities of real-world issues, collaboratively working towards actionable solutions and recommendations.
“Supporting our faculty in creating teaching cases allows us to bring cutting-edge research into the classroom and foster new collaborations - not only within CBS but also across industries, government, and civil society.
“As part of this commitment, CBS continues to strengthen its case writing initiatives and proudly supports two distinct collections in partnership with The Case Centre - the Nordic Case House and the Free Case Collection (PRME). The Free Case Collection further underscores CBS’ mission of creating societal impact and driving global change through education.
“Ranking among the top 15 universities globally in The Case Centre Impact Index reflects the talent and dedication of our faculty as well as CBS’ ongoing commitment to impactful, high-quality business education. This achievement highlights the valuable contributions of CBS’ case writing to business education worldwide.”
