Harvard Case Studies
The library does not own, nor can it purchase Harvard Business Cases. HBR Cases are indexed in Business Source Complete from 1942 to 2022. If you would like to search for cases related to a specific topic, simply enter “Harvard Business School Cases” into the search box and select “Publications” in the “Select a Field box”. Business Source Complete does not contain the full text of the case study. Because HBR Cases are often purchased as course-specific materials, they are rarely available through Interlibrary Loan. FSU University has a policy of not purchasing class textbooks and class materials.
