CaseStudyU was crafted to help university and college students successfully complete case studies. As case studies are now an integral and prevalent part of learning in the classroom and being the closest thing to real-world experience, there is an ever-growing need to master the case study approach; to maximize learning and success not just in the classroom but in life as well. We put together this one-stop informational website after seeing the increased classroom use, with little information provided online or in books on how to actually complete a case study. Thus, CaseStudyU was born, meeting the ever-increasing demand for a complete solution.

There are two goals of CaseStudyU:

1. Provide a dynamic framework for completing any business case study
2. Act as a database for all the different models and cases students will use in the classroom and beyond

The Business Case Study Approach was built from case competition podium finishes and tested through repeated cases through a rigorous and meticulous process. This framework will lead you through the case analysis process from the first read-through of the case to presenting your findings.

The database holds the latest and most eminent business models that can be used during the framework and presents them in consistent outlines.

Why a framework that works for all cases and a database for all the possible models you might need? Because each case and person is unique. The Business Case Study Approach and its contents are not meant to be done in a step-by-step model. You must pick and choose what analyses work best for the specific case. Furthermore, it is on you to try out and practice each model to see what you like and what works for you, as some sections can be completed with more than one model. You may find you like X model over Y, and that is good. CaseStudyU provides everything you will need, and it is up to you to custom tailor the resources for your case and your style.

If at any time you want to learn more about a topic not listed on our website or have a new model / method you think is valuable, please reach out to us through our email to discuss further:

At this time, CaseStudyU is a work in progress. As more learnings, academic studies, and business models are analyzed to test their efficacy inside this framework, it will continuously be updated. Moreover, we have put this framework online for free, for business students and professionals to use and master. We hope visitors will also provide feedback for us to continually develop our approach. If at any time you have questions, recommendations, or know of a model or framework method that is missing, we strongly urge you to reach out and share it with us as CaseStudyU is nothing without our community and desire for case study excellence.
