Inside the HBS Case Method 

these people really know how to market their MBA program

Class of 2022!! By God's grace, it has been done.

I went to HBS and had one of the greatest experiences of my life. Thought the students were VERY intelligent, wanted to be there on their own right and were inspired to do good things in the business world.

These people are so competitive and so smart. I'm scared and excited too.

This is harvard the standards are set at the highest level. Each person here are extremely smart and mixing with the same type with different views makes them even more... what a crazy place!!

Man, I'm envious of the education that Harvard students get. You're taught HOW to think at these Ivy League schools. Engaged peers, exposure to others' perspectives and input... I wish it were this way with all universities.

Always amazing to see that there are many people out there who share the same passion as you in business...business never gets old......

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.

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.

One day i am going to HBS.I promise myself.

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

Ich bin echt gerührt Professor was für ein Einsatz bist jetzt mit einer meiner lieblings Professoren... Danke euch das ist so ein schönes Gefühl... Danke ich werde das nie vergessen ❤

,, 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..

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.

I’m 18 years old and a senior in highschool and I want to get my MBA though I would not be able to get into Hardvard that’s not gonna stop me from pressuring what I want to achieve. This makes me very excited to see when my education takes me.

Watching this video reminds me when I was at my cognitive psychology class related to SLA, and my teachers assigned us to think about foreign language student's problems and the way we as future teacher can deal with any kinds of learning a language issues.

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.

I know a couple of HBS alumni, and they both say it was an amazing experience studying for an MBA at Harvard!

It's inspiriing & shows how a lecture should be.

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.

I'm preparing for HBS. Don't know whether I will make it or not, but I will definitely try.

This is my section! We were lucky to have Professor Rivkin; he was fantastic at leading these case discussions.

Yes I learned this case teaching method through a full time program and its a beautiful method of training students for the situations which are not in our control...I saw the joy of learning on students faces. Thank you Harvard and thank you Prof. G. D. Apte, Prof. Atul Gopal, Prof. Makrand, Prof. Charu who were my teachers for Harvard Case methods

When you’re so into something and you can speak your heart out of it

I never understood the importance of casestudies until this video. Thank you Harvard and Harvard students are the luckiest

this REALLY makes my school look like shit !

These students become Good as they are being Led with one of the BEST TEACHERS as their GUIDE..

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

This makes me want to attend hsb sooo badly! 😭 some day I will, I promise.

excellent Command & learning to lead in international business & Leadership , management study regards Asish & Swastika

HBS grad and I have to say it's great for networking and meeting highly connected people and professors, but otherwise a waste of money and time. You can get a quality MBA from any school if you're resourceful, aware and diligent.

Thank you for letting us see inspirational teaching and how the case method works.

Such a big inspiration. Add more great videos like this!

Although i have 117 TOEFL iBT and 730 GMAT score they rejected me. You know why? Because of my financial status! AMAZING, THANK YOU HARVARD!

An ex-Marine once told me he cried at the opening scene of "An Officer and a Gentlemen". I can certainly relate to that having watched this video and reflected back on my time at HBS. And, boy, I was certainly not as mature as these students. No wonder they make more then me when they get out.

These guys are more strategic thinkers and more competitive in the market place, they are the best.

You guys think if there is just raw footage of an HBS class? I would really like to observe the heat of the moment in an HBS classroom. Thanks!

It's interesting how baseball players or even basketball players do the same ritual when the come to the plate or free throw line.

Very exciting! I wish the whole discusion was a video! Who else is here more than a decade after this was made?

This shows the power of teamwork

I really enjoyed the clip! Big ups!

You people are very competitive and smart 👍👌

This video is a great idea... It`s help a lot.......... If you want to be manager ..... You got to be prepare

One wise man very well put together. No school and no money will buy you the best asset in your life: common sense.

Class is 2025! It’s already done! I will be apart of the class of 2025! ❤️

Case study is learn how to of success or failure passed story by referring theory and method on that that field scenario.It's just a guide line concept to solve those problems but they still have some more complexities factors among on of them hidden under layers of that problem.The hardest is how to see through problem like in x-raying that problem.

I didn't went there ! I can't go there ! I'm just eating free stuff on the table. But guys who went there you really are wealthy and genius. keep it up.

awsome encouragement....

Amazing Video, please post more videos like this

HBS is in a league of its own.

Any recent HBS student or alumni. Wanted to get some guidance before applying there. Your true fan is Waiting forward to hear from you soon 🙂

Even if I'm not business in my course this case are spectacular for my business.

One day ill be the one answering, seating and digest the case at this classroom. I promise.

I will use the Harvard Case Study Method in my class!💪🏾

Is this all qualitative? In my class, we dig competition through quantitative analysis too such as stackelberg equilibrium and best response function and its application in price analytics through use of machine learning

Really effective method of study

Would a PhD student, who studies Business Economics and has to take MBA classes as part of that degree, be mixed up with pure MBA students or are they taught separately?

Great window into HBS

it's so tempting. I wish I was aware of These Super-Teachers earlier. I'm Coming to Harvard :). I loved the energy and aura.

Love the atmosphere ❤

I went, and loved it! Best experience of my life.

I like how they have their names in front of them. I have had a couple of times when I had two almost identical students. M.

Love it!

Really this seems abundance of revelations.

amazing video

Real arguments. Real effects.

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.

my heart goes out for this!!! Cant wait to get there :)

Very informative Thanks :)

Got recommended this after like what.....12 years!

I vote for the price war - because NutraSweet has the ability to price the competition out of the market. The brand holds a significant share in the market, and is a well known brand. A new competitor would need to innovate, not simply compete. - Jonas

One day i am also gonna part of hbs..

So exciting! I can't wait to apply.

I am focus on expansion in other areas. Also , no policy makes for retail price same but wholesale and payment.

I am online approved for Disruptive strategy program beginning cohort of June, 2019. And I hoe I can obtain all of the acquired of the intended knowledge to purpose confer to my peers at workplaces soon for making the innovations towards gaining the real world of case studies through the HBX courses soon.

just wow ..... i wish i could be one of them discussing

and here i am, hoping one day, I'd be sitting in that particular class

I like the case method in teaching

I LOVE IT AND LIKE IT

Hey really good one

This is very inspiring. Every time i get a As in my report card i just tell my self, wtf this isnt gonna get you to Harvard you need A +. this does wnat to make try harder.

I'm going to hbs forsure

I want to do this in my inner city middle school class!

I fly over it, occasionally. Harvard is a lemon that's not worth the squeeze. Air Force Academy and MIT, baby!

Well, my dreams of getting an MBA from here have been shattered. Quite frankly I don't think I'm good enough.

This reminds me of Army Warrior Leader Course, but more educated.

I’m coming!

This video is great, why can't other universities have these sort of videos for different faculties?

Just curious, how many of the people featured in this video made it big?

Bapa henry?? Lo prof?? Gw kira lulusan design grafis in harvard.. thanks for ur knowledge to make data specific for name of design..

Learning shouldn't be painful...this really sank in. So sad how almost every higher learning institute has forgotten about their customers (learners, students) in creating a learning experience & culture, so so sad, I mean of all things, how do you ignore the experience of the very person who consumes or interacts with your product/service? :'(

I'd like to see the case method done by HBS alum and founder of the Khan Academy, Sal Khan.

what to do to study here?seems like a good college

well said

wow. the discussion during the second half of the video looks like alot of fun. does Harvard Business School accept slackers?

Marketing new NutraSweet? Competition, prices war etc How? I need to start my ad with something novel/new that really contribute in answering the most recent issues on why less peoples are attracted to buy non-mono, dwi, poli sugar? Some health issues correction in my ad maybe? Price & volume saving per cup of tea/coffee? Or maybe...a sincere ad for emotional buyer such as " a sugar that doesn't makes u feels guilty" 🤪 something like this 🤗 In terms of price, have it less than the existing brands, to attract customers first, then when the brands are already trusted, have an almost equal price to others.

you guys should check out "hec paris" . It s the best french buisiness school and gettin there is even harder than getting into harvard they only take 300 students each year...

When u sit there with much evidence but u still can’t stop it !

congrats to the people who make it in wish i culd b there
