“The case method has a long history of supporting research, teaching, and academic excellence at Babson College. Case writing continues to add value to our status as a global leader in entrepreneurship education and thought leadership. But Babson faculty not only write and teach innovative cases, they have evolved case writing to include simulations, live exercises, and deeper connections to direct application of the lessons being studied. Through this evolved case method, faculty support Babson’s Entrepreneurial Leadership pedagogy and ensure that our curriculum is rigorous and cutting edge across disciplines. Babson remains committed to providing faculty and students with access to the case method as a means to promote experiential learning within the entrepreneurial mindset.”
