About HBR

The Harvard Business School has produced many business case studies, as well as other material, in two separate publications.

Harvard Business Review
These are articles that appear in the hard copy Harvard Business Review. They are findable by title in LibrarySearch or directly in the EbscoHost Business Source Complete database.
Harvard Business Review Digital Articles
These are articles published online on HBR.org, and are not findable via LibrarySearch. To access these articles you must search directly via Harvard Business Review Digital Articles in the EbscoHost Business Source Complete database.
If you find an article on the public website HBR.org, look to see whether it is labelled as a Digital Article. If it is then link to it via Harvard Business Review Digital Articles on EbscoHost Business Source Complete. If it is not labelled Digital Article then it should be found in Harvard Business Review on EbscoHost Business Source Complete or in LibrarySearch.

For more information about HBR case studies, consult the library guide on Case studies.

Note: You should not link to articles directly from the public website HBR.org because there is a limit to the number of articles you can access for free and your students may meet a paywall.

If you still cannot find what you need, contact the Library's Teaching Support team.
