Inside the HBS Case Method

There are special moments that pull everything we have learned into focus. When theory, practice, experience and talent all come to one sharp point -- a decision that shapes a definitive course of action. When it's no longer an issue of what can be done, but of what you will do.

[@marklaurent3116]

Gosh. When i was in college my professor gave us a case and then he’ll let us read, analyze, and prepare to give recommendation after 4 hours. We didn’t have much time to do it all. So our discussion is so boring and we arrived in conclusions that needed more discussion and more reading and analyzing. I like HBS style and would love to go here someday. My dream school. Hoping and praying.

[@social3ngin33rin]

I always love watching professors interacting with each other. It always amazes me watch different departments and different individuals in the group.

[@emilreyes9850]

This video brings back fond and exciting memories for me. I took my MBA from the Asian Inst. Of Mgt. in the late 70's. At that time our school had an working collaboration with HBS. The backbone of our school's teaching method was the Case Method. Our Dean at that time was Dr. Stephen Fuller of HBS. What it taught me is never to shoot down any idea no matter how absurd it may be at the start. What is so wonderful is to see the gradual evolution of ideas that will bring you to a better decision.

[@jmanwani7]

,, this video brings tears in my eyes.. it shows with hardwork u reach places and at places u meet different ppl who teach u things and they learn from u..

[@nognilk]

the problem I have with business school students is that they come to their new jobs, and say, "this answer is the way we did it in school, so this answer is the way we should do it at work" The problem with that mindset is that, at school nobody is saying no to your textbooks or case study answers, but at work, the competition, the stakeholders, and everybody is saying Hell No with money on the line. Business school students need to learn how to win with plan b, with plan c, with plan z.

[@FelixTetteh]

I disagree. It's not perfect but trust me people object your answers.

[@neodelphi]

im doing MBA and mind you plan b-z is always in the table plus most of my classmates have already 5-20 years works experience under their belt so been there done that as well, i think you were referring to MIM grad who just came from their bachelors degree without work experience :)

[@JohnRDallasJr]

Outstanding. Having been president of several businesses of varying types and sizes, I am always encouraged to see such intentionality and passion in means and methods for teaching deeper, wider and higher thinking. The HBS Case Method models metacognitive skills required for war rooms, board rooms and c-suite offices. Though uploaded in 2009, this message remains fresh for today and tomorrow. Thank you.

[@Ballerfella2007]

Great video very inspiring. Makes you want to work even harder.

[@neilhamirkeshvala]

That structure is critical to bring into the classroom in order to develop the necessary skills for the real business world. Decisions have to be made, and the best way to learn about what works and what doesn't is experiencing it first hand. What they are incorporating into the classroom is an expansion of what can be learned by shadowing someone in a business and getting an internship. I encourage this atmosphere to continue.

Obviously not the reason, probably the lack of something to bring to Harvard

[@MMmm-bg9li]

Okay, TOEFL doesn’t count for anything other than show that you can comprehend English. I’ve taken TOEFL iBT in High School and also got a 117, so that’s nothing. 730 is great but is still the average stat for Harvard. You can’t show one grade and expect admission, there’s so much more to it.

Looks good on paper but you do not really learn doing a business until you actually do it in the real world. What it helps is with networking and having on your CV. However, as a friend learned after leaving his job to set up a business was the real learning curve - 2 failed business but the third one was a success.

Learning shouldn't be painful...this really sank in.

[@Nate-dn1gx]

it's analogous to a doctor/patient relationship. the patient has input but does the patient know the best course of treatment?

[@kaonetlagae2051]

@@Nate-dn1gx true but even so, the patient is the person experiencing the ailment so even though the doctor maybe well trained to treat ailments of all kinds, that can never efface the experience a patient has with his or her own body. So yes, to a significant degree, a patient's experience will still count because if it weren't so, no doctor would bother trying to understanding how a patient reacts to certain prescriptions
