A Powerful Educational Partnership
In 1826, a revolutionary idea took root in Cambridge, Massachusetts. What began as informal gatherings of students and teachers discussing real-world cases would eventually transform into Harvard Business School’s case method—a teaching approach that would reshape education globally.
