B-Corp Case Studies by UNL Raikes Seniors
Student groups in the Spring 2023 Business Strategies and Policies course (RAIK 476H) taught by Dr. Tammy Beck conducted independent research and wrote Case Studies for publicly-traded B-Corporations. The collection of B-Corporation case studies are open-source and available for academic use. The case studies were written as a basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate effective or ineffective handling of strategic management issues within organizations.
