The Case Method and our connection with Harvard Business School
In 1963, Harvard Business School formed an alliance with IESE Business School and IESE adopted the famous HBS case method learning methodology. Over the years, IESE professors began writing their own cases, making their own impact and becoming thought leaders in their own right.
These are some examples of how IESE’s case method is applied:
- You will engage in dynamic discussions about the business challenges you face on a daily basis.
- You will combine individual learning, team discussions and dialogue in an interdisciplinary plenary session.
- The lecturer will facilitate and guide the debate, encouraging everyone’s participation to enrich the discussion with different points of view and experiences.
