Instructors may purchase electronic or print Harvard Business Review case studies directly from the publisher. Electronic copies are one-time use only and must be purchased each year.

Harvard Business Review does not permit libraries to purchase or subscribe to HBR case studies electronically. The library has access to select HBR cases through its EBSCOhost subscription; however, the license agreement prohibits users from sharing links to these case studies, or posting copies in Blackboard. See HBR's Permissions page for more information.
