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.
