Case Study Services

The Case Catalogue currently has approximately 400 Australasian case studies listed in twelve separate subject categories.

These cases are substantial applied research publications in their own right, and provide valuable teaching and learning resources. Each of the case studies listed in this publication is primarily designed for management education programs at both undergraduate and postgraduate level as well as for use in executive education programs.

Most cases are based on actual situations and problems that have been encountered by Australian and New Zealand managers operating within both the private and public sectors. They are made available to other institutions, educators and researchers through the MCSS which is part of the Melbourne Business School at the University of Melbourne.

The MCSS has distribution rights throughout the Asia Pacific region for all Harvard Business School case studies, Harvard Business Review Reprints and other Harvard teaching materials. In addition to the hundreds of new Harvard Business School case studies available for distribution, Harvard have recently added new sources of materials - The Stanford Graduate School of Business collection; London Business School collection, Ivey Business School collection, IESE collection; The Design Management Institute collection and The California Management Review collection.

MCSS has access to the European Case Clearing House (ECCH) and to Darden Business School (University of Virginia). ECCH includes the case collections from INSEAD, IMD, London Business School, Cranfield and other leading Schools in Europe.

Case Copying

All photocopying and printing of case material will be performed by the MCSS. Under no circumstances, may additional copies of cases, or parts thereof, be made without permission.
