The 2021-2022 academic year marks the 100-year anniversary of the introduction of the case method at Harvard Business School. Today, the HBS case method is employed in the HBS MBA program, in Executive Education programs, and in dozens of other business schools around the world.

What happens in class if nobody talks? Dropdown down

Professors are here to push everyone to learn, but not to embarrass anyone. If the class is quiet, they'll often ask a participant with experience in the industry in which the case is set to speak first. This is done well in advance so that person can come to class prepared to share. Trust the process. The more open you are, the more willing you’ll be to engage, and the more alive the classroom will become.

Does everyone take part in "role-playing"? Dropdown down

Professors often encourage participants to take opposing sides and then debate the issues, often taking the perspective of the case protagonists or key decision makers in the case.

How the HBS Case Method Works

How the Case Method Works

• Read and analyze the case. Each case is a 10-20 page document written from the viewpoint of a real person leading a real organization. In addition to background information on the situation, each case ends in a key decision to be made. Your job is to sift through the information, incomplete by design, and decide what you would do.
• Discuss the case. Each morning, you’ll bring your ideas to a small team of classmates from diverse professional backgrounds, your discussion group, to share your findings and listen to theirs. Together, you begin to see the case from different perspectives, better preparing you for class.
• Engage in class. Be prepared to change the way you think as you debate with classmates the best path forward for this organization. The highly engaged conversation is facilitated by the faculty member, but it’s driven by your classmates’ comments and experiences. HBS brings together amazingly talented people from diverse backgrounds and puts that experience front and center. Students do the majority of the talking (and lots of active listening), and your job is to better understand the decision at hand, what you would do in the case protagonist’s shoes, and why. You will not leave a class thinking about the case the same way you thought about it coming in! In addition to learning more about many businesses, in the case method you will develop communication, listening, analysis, and leadership skills. It is a truly dynamic and immersive learning environment.
• Reflect. The case method prepares you to be in leadership positions where you will face time-sensitive decisions with limited information. Reflecting on each class discussion will prepare you to face these situations in your future roles.

Student Perspectives

“I’ve been so touched by how dedicated other people have been to my learning and my success.”

Faculty Perspectives

“The world desperately needs better leadership. It’s actually one of the great gifts of teaching here, you can do something about it.”

Alumni Perspectives

“You walk into work every morning and it's like a fire hose of decisions that need to be made, often without enough information. Just like an HBS case.”

Celebrating the Inaugural HBS Case

“How do you go into an ambiguous situation and get to the bottom of it? That skill – the skill of figuring out a course of inquiry, to choose a course of action – that skill is as relevant today as it was in 1921.”

What the Case Study Method Really Teaches

• Nitin Nohria

Seven meta-skills that stick even if the cases fade from memory.

It’s been 100 years since Harvard Business School began using the case study method. Beyond teaching specific subject matter, the case study method excels in instilling meta-skills in students. This article explains the importance of seven such skills: preparation, discernment, bias recognition, judgement, collaboration, curiosity, and self-confidence.

During my decade as dean of Harvard Business School, I spent hundreds of hours talking with our alumni. To enliven these conversations, I relied on a favorite question: “What was the most important thing you learned from your time in our MBA program?”

• Nitin Nohria is the George F. Baker Jr. and Distinguished Service University Professor. He served as the 10th dean of Harvard Business School, from 2010 to 2020.

Results you can trust

How is it calculated.

As a headhunter, Enguerran Loos prepared 563 candidates for interviews at McKinsey, BCG and Bain. 142 received offers, meaning 1 in 3.96 candidates were successful. That’s double the average success rate in similar locations.

CaseCoach’s interview preparation stood me in great stead for my Bain interviews. The detailed insights and practical techniques really helped improve my weaknesses, build on my strengths and get the job offer. I highly recommend it!

Before joining Bain, Vidur was a Trader at a bulge bracket investment bank

I scored an offer on my first consulting interview, with only a month to prepare. CaseCoach was my main preparation resource and I have been recommending it since.

Prior to receiving her offer from Bain, Nicole was an undergraduate student at the London School of Economics.

Before coming across CaseCoach I struggled to find preparation resources covering both the case and the fit interviews, with a clear structure and sharp interview videos.

Hany worked as a Software Procurement Manager at a semiconductors vendor prior to joining BCG.

CaseCoach was the main preparation tool I used to get my McKinsey offer. The course is outstanding: clear, comprehensive and well structured.

Prior to McKinsey, Natalia was an Area Manager at the top global luxury goods conglomerate.

From tangible CV formatting tips to nuanced fit interview advice, CaseCoach is a unique, all-in-one toolbox to help you maximise the potential of each aspect of your MBB application.

Kay joined McKinsey after studying for a Masters in Psychology at the University of Bath

When I applied to McKinsey, I knew I had to get my hands on the best prep material. The drills in CaseCoach helped me improve my structuring, chart interpretation, and numeracy considerably.

Gilles completed a Masters in Management at ESSEC Business School ahead of earning an offer from McKinsey.

Once I found CaseCoach I was able to stop searching for resources and start focusing on my preparation. The platform included everything I needed to get an offer.

Anaïs completed a Masters in Management at ESSEC Business School before joining Roland Berger.

The framework lessons and practice drills taught me to create structures tailored to the case questions and were instrumental to my success.

Prior to receiving a McKinsey offer, Aom was an undergraduate student at Thammasat University.

A warm welcome from Enguerran Loos

Founder of Casecoach

I started CaseCoach to give more candidates access to my exclusive interview preparation techniques. My insights are based on 12 years’ experience working as an Engagement Manager with McKinsey’s Boston office, as their lead recruiter at MIT Sloan, and as Founder of a leading recruitment firm serving the top-3 management consultancies.

Learner Stories

Digital Marketing Strategy FAQs

What are the learning requirements in order to successfully complete the course, and how are grades assigned.

Participants in Digital Marketing Strategy are eligible for a Certificate of Completion from Harvard Business School Online.

Participants are expected to fully complete all coursework in a thoughtful and timely manner. This will mean meeting each week’s course module deadlines and fully answering questions posed therein. This helps ensure your cohort proceeds through the course at a similar pace and can take full advantage of social learning opportunities. In addition to module and assignment completion, we expect participation in the social learning elements of the course by offering feedback on others’ reflections and contributing to conversations on the platform. Participants who fail to complete the course requirements will not receive a certificate and will not be eligible to retake the course.

More detailed information on course requirements, including the Adobe Data Driven Operating Model Simulation (one of the assignments), will be communicated at the start of the course. No grades are assigned for Digital Marketing Strategy. Participants will either be evaluated as complete or not complete.

Can you tell me a little more about the budget allocation simulation?

The budget allocation simulation (Adobe Data Driven Operating Model Simulation) will be part of module 6 of the course. It is similar to a mini capstone experience, in that it encourages participants to draw on their knowledge from the rest of the course to make investment decisions in the simulation. It is the very same simulation included in the MBA program's required curriculum marketing course, and, while designed to be challenging, it is ungraded and assessed based on completion. We recommend budgeting approximately 1.5 hours to complete the simulation. Full instructions for how to complete the simulation will be provided to course registrants.

What materials will I have access to after completing Digital Marketing Strategy?

You will have access to the materials in every prior module as you progress through the program. Access to course materials and the course platform ends 60 days after the final deadline in the program.

How should I list my certificate on my resume?
