Carnegie Mellon Tepper School of Business - Arthur Andersen Case Studies in Business Ethics

During the period 1987-94 Arthur Andersen funded a $5 million joint project with 525 universities to raise 
awareness of ethical issues in business.  This collection of 90 case studies is one product of that effort.

All participating universities, including Carnegie Mellon, have license to use these materials and reproduce them as needed for instructional purposes. 

The Case Centre Most Popular Free Cases 

As part of The Case Centre's commitment to promoting the case method and supporting case teachers, we offer a growing range of free cases produced by a number of prominent schools and organisations across the globe. 

McCombs School of Business - Ethics Unwrapped

More than 50 case studies match ethics concepts to real world situations. From journalism to performing arts to foreign policy to scientific research to social work, these cases explore a range of current and historic ethical dilemmas, their motivating biases, and their consequences.

Each case includes discussion questions, related videos, and a bibliography for further reading.

MIT Sloan School of Management Open Case Studies Database 

The teaching business case studies available here are narratives that facilitate class discussion about a particular business or management issue. Teaching cases are meant to spur debate among students rather than promote a particular point of view or steer students in a specific direction. 

Some of the case studies in this collection highlight the decision-making process in a business or management setting. Other cases are descriptive or demonstrative in nature, showcasing something that has happened or is happening in a particular business or management environment.

Yale School of Management Free Case Studies   

At the Yale School of Management cases come in two “flavors”: cooked and raw. Cooked cases are the traditional paper-based cases (transmitted in the form of a .pdf), consisting of about 2,500 to 7,000 words of text and variety of exhibits at the end of the case. Raw cases are online cases. In addition to text, raw cases present information in a variety of formats – reports, articles, interviews, videos, photographs, original documents, and links to other websites.
