Using case studies to draw inspiration from the experience of companies in the canton of Fribourg and other regions of Switzerland.
The School of Management Fribourg has always aimed to remain closely linked to practice and the regional economy, both in teaching and research. Case studies focusing on companies with which students and teaching staff have close ties enable everyone to share and benefit from each other's experiences in order to progress together.
Key partnerships have been established to this end. An initial partnership with HEC Montréal has enabled us to organize training courses in writing and facilitating case studies to encourage research and exchanges with regional and national companies. A second agreement signed with Harvard Business Publishing now gives professors access to a wealth of teaching materials containing numerous case studies. These partnerships provide us with valuable tools to strengthen our teaching and research skills.
Thanks to these efforts, several case studies have been published by the International Journal of Case Studies in Management (IJCSM) following a double-blind review process. Several teaching cases designed by researchers at the HEG-FR are included in the Harvard Business Publishing Education catalog.
