Top 40 Case Studies of 2022-23
A case about a unique partnership to bring public toilet facilities to Indian slums earned the top spot in the 2022-23 Top 40 Yale case studies round up.
Delving into the complex project management landscape of a partnership between governments, designers, academic, and NGOs in India, the Project Sammaan case study jumped to the #1 spot this year from #30 in 2021 based largely on its strong sales to academic institutions.
Cases on the uses of debt and equity at Hertz that took the top two spots last year continued their strong showing this year at #2 and #3.
Surprisingly, the abridged version of the Toyota 2010 case leapt from #40 in last year’s roundup to #4; perennial favorite Coffee 2016 took #5 and cases involving search funds, private equity, and Cadbury, another perennial favorite, rounded out the top 10.
CRDT compiled the Top 40 list by combining data from its case store, Google Analytics, and other measures of interest and adoption.
Other year-end data for 2022-23 showed that:
- 26K case users from 156 countries and all 50 U.S. states interacted with 191 Yale cases.
- Over fifty percent of case users came from outside the U.S. with India, Tanzania, and the Philippines making up the bulk.
- 22 cases on the list are "raw" and 18 "cooked."
- The top 40 cases were supervised by 21 different Yale SOM current and former faculty members, several supervising multiple cases.
