Frequently Asked Questions
What support can I offer my students around analyzing cases and preparing for discussion?
Case discussions can be a big departure from the norm for students who are used to lecture-based classes. The Case Analysis Coach is an interactive tutorial on reading and analyzing a case study. The Case Study Handbook covers key skills students need to read, understand, discuss and write about cases. The Case Study Handbook is also available as individual chapters to help your students focus on specific skills.
How can I transfer my in-person case teaching plan to an online environment?
The case method can be used in an online environment without sacrificing its benefits. We have compiled a few resources to help you create transformative online learning experiences with the case method. Learn how HBS brought the case method online in this podcast , gather some quick guidance from the article " How to Teach Any Case Online ", review the Teaching Cases Online Guide for a deep dive, and check out our Teaching Online Resources Page for more insights and inspiration.
After 35 years as an academic, I have come to the conclusion that there is a magic in the way Harvard cases are written. Cases go from specific to general, to show students that business situations are amenable to hard headed analysis that then generalize to larger theoretical insights. The students love it!

Livraria da Vila / Isay Weinfeld
Brazilian architecture has produced interesting works in the business/retail area, often limited to just interior design. Recent works by Marcio Kogan , Marcelo Alvarango or Tao Arquitetura are good examples of a tradition that, in my personal opinion, has a peak at Mendes da Rochaâs Forma store in Sao Paulo . If you ever go to Sao Paulo to visit local architecture, don´t be afraid of your girlfriend/wife taking you to shopping, there´s lots to see there.
Leonardo Finotti shared with us an interesting project by local architect Isay Weinfeld that is up to this brazilian standard, the Libraria da Vila bookstore in Sao Paulo. An hermetic volume with a pivoting book facade contains an interesting space filled with books distributed over 3 levels as you can see on the photos:

Opinion: Why Bother with Local Bookshops? Suzy Howlett’s Success Story
- January 8, 2018
The charming Hunting Raven Bookshop in Frome, Somerset
While most indie authors will at some point have dreamed of getting their self-published books on the shelves of their local bookstore, many bypass that route to customers because it can be hard to make it economically viable, even if you do manage to persuade the management to stock it.
This case study by English novelist Suzy Howlett makes it clear that it is possible to place your book successfully and profitably, provided that it's a good match for the store's clientele, and that you build a great working relationship with its owners.
While her success has so far been with a single store, it has given her the confidence and credibility to continue her campaign further afield. Read her lively post to glean whether her example might also translate for you and your books.
Neil and Suzy, all set for their book signing at The Hunting Raven Bookshop
When my husband Neil and I self-published Return to Kirrin , our take on Enid Blytonâs hugely popular Famous Five series for children â in our book they are forty-somethings with families of their own, in Thatcherâs Britain â we planned to launch it at our local independent bookshop, The Hunting Raven , in the English country town of Frome, Somerset, of which weâd been customers for thirty years .
At that first exhilirating evening event , we signed and sold 21 copies of the 250 weâd bought as stock for handselling. As a result of that success, the manager, who liked our book a lot, booked me for a signing on a Saturday . How many books did local authors usually sell? we asked. Between 3 and 12 in the first month, and the odd one here and there after that. I went home to learn how to make invoices, wondering whether 250 books had been a mistake.
Making the Most of a Book Signing Opportunity
The inviting Interior of the Hunting Raven Bookshop
The signing began. I had a pile of books, my best pen, and a determined smile.
It was mid-November, and the first two customers walked straight to the till to order bestsellers and hurried out. 55 minutes left of my allotted hour.
Number Three made for the maps at the back of the shop and scowled at me on the way. I tried brightening my smile, which was a mistake.
Four and Five picked up orders in a hurry, Six had a yelling baby and Seven delivered the post. 46 minutes left.
The shop assistant brought me a cup of tea, and smiled kindly. Eight looked more promising: in her fifties, browsing adult fiction, the right demographic. I relaxed my grin, as my jaws were aching, then re-applied it less manically. Here goes.
âHello,â I said to Eight. âDid you enjoy the Famous Five when you were little?â
âNo, I certainly did not,â she replied, crossly. That told me.
âAh, probably not the book for you, then,â I apologised to her back. But Nine had come into the shop a moment before, and overheard my effort. She might have been Eightâs sister, so similar did she seem, but she approached my little table. Voluntarily. Of her Own Free Will.
âI loved them,â she said.
âI think youâll like this, then,â I suggested. âDid you wonder how they might have grown up, after all that fame? Er, are you old enough to remember 1979?â
Reader, she bought it! Not a loyal friend, but a stranger shelling out for our book.
40 minutes to go. Ten, an elderly man, came to see what we were talking about. I did my spiel, and proffered a copy.
âWhich character did you want to be as a child?â I added.
âTimmy the dog!â he laughed, reading the blurb. âIâll take two. I bet youâll sell loads!â
Gosh, I liked him a lot. As he left, I called after him, âI hope you enjoy the books!â Now that was a good move. The customer coming in past him ambled over to see what I was talking about. She bought one. As she queued at the till, three more people came into the shop. 30 minutes to go, and now I knew what to do .
âEnjoy the book!â I said to the queue at the till, very distinctly, because I was learning that nothing generates interest like seeing other peopleâs interest. Add a question to get a discussion going, and suddenly youâre in business.
In the last half-hour I sold a dozen books to a surprisingly wide demographic, including a white-whiskered chap whoâd been a police sergeant in 1979 and remembered the astonishing police-training handbook we quote in the novel.
Return to Kirrin outsold everything that day – 16 copies in an hour.
Please would I leave five extra copies for stock and do more signings? Would I!
The Second Signing Event
The appealing Hunting Raven logo
At the second signing, 21 copies sold. Our book was put in the window, next to the Private Eye Annual (a British satirical magazine's yearbook), and also facing out with the Ladybird and Famous Five spoofs (although itâs a novel).
Copies began to sell when I wasnât there.
I delivered emergency stock, straight from work. Placement is king!
Sixteen days after our launch a gratifying e-mail from the bookshop told us that Return to Kirrin was their best-selling book of November .
Continuing Success at Local Level
Neil and Suzy Howlett, joint authors of their first book ‘Return to Kirrin' (Photo Š Tim Gander)
I managed three more signings before Christmas (as much as the day job permitted) and loved them, behaving like a member of staff, recommending books for reluctant eight-year-olds, and showing people where to find the craft section. For the second month, Return to Kirrin was the best-seller in the shop – in the prestigious Christmas sales, too. Eat your heart out, Philip Pullman!
In our own little way, we were best-selling authors!
The pile of 250 books is down to fewer than 50, just six weeks after our launch, most of them sold at The Hunting Raven. We havenât conquered the world, only our little town, but weâve proved that IF they get to hear about it, people want to read Return to Kirrin , and itâs being enjoyed by a hundred-and-something strangers who didnât know they wanted it until they saw it and handled it. Itâs potentially commercial.
But I believe that none would have stumbled across the book, which was kept originally in the Local Author section, had I not been there to learn the business of signing and engaging.
The staff have said âThis is phenomenal, and if you could be in every bookshop this book could be a national best-sellerâ. That, my fellow writers, feels strange and wonderful, and now I am itching to give it a wider chance. Thank you, Hunting Raven.
CHECKLIST FOR A SUCCESSFUL BOOK SIGNING EVENT
- Sit in a very visible part of the shop if possible.
- Use an A4 display stand with your book cover and some quotes to attract attention.
- Catch peopleâs eyes and talk to them – ask them questions – but donât pester if theyâre not interested. THIS INTERACTION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT BIT.
- Generate interest by letting other customers overhear you talking to those who have just bought your book – they will see that someone has been attracted to it, which is interesting.
- If thereâs nobody near your table, look very busy signing copies.
- Have some promo postcards/bookmarks to give out as they may generate sales in the future.
- Â Sound interested – in other people and in your book. If youâre not interested, why should anyone else be?
- Talk widely and generously – I recommended books by other authors, and used my knowledge as a teacher to help grandparents make choices for Christmas. One or two then bought our book, too.
- Be ambitious – I ran out of books a couple of times, so take plenty.
- Keep supporting your local bookshop – they are very wonderful places.
OVER TO YOU If you've built a successful relationship with your local indie bookstore, do you have any top tips to add to Suzy's experience? Cautionary tales also welcome!

Suzy Howlett is a teacher and features writer for educational magazine "Little Things", and her husband and co-author Neil is a lawyer in a practice in Frome, Somerset, where they live and where they have established a long relationship with their local bookshop, The Hunting Raven. "Return to Kirrin" is their first book, published via SilverWood Books. You can find out more via their Facebook page, @ReturntoKirrin .
Thank you for sharing your story Suzy. I think you have changed my mind about doing a book signing at the local bookshop when my childrenâs book is released this March. Being my first book I was nervous that nobody would be interested. Your story has definitely encouraged me.
What a great story! Thank you for the advice! I hope to do a signing myself, so I really appreciate the tips! đ
I’m so happy you have had a great experience with a local book store! This is very promising!! My books are in Independent Stores but none near me because we don’t have any. But, I did have a book signing at our local Barnes & Nobel and it went well. I’m hoping to set up another one this spring. I will do my best to be outgoing and charming like you seem to be!
Actually our local bookshop does all those 10 tips for us. Sets up the table, a sign and tells people who buy at the till to go and look. We converse all the time as the table is opposite the one and only till.
My main point would be to establish the good relationship FIRST even some years before.
This year I bought all my Christmas presents via my local bookshop, emailing the ideas as they were sent to me and going in to collect and pay once a week. We could all do that!
Excellent, Di. Sounds like your bookshop is special, too. We bought most of our Christmas presents in the bookshop, and virtually everything locally. I agree about establishing the link well in advance. We are lucky to have had links with The Hunting Raven for thirty years!

The Booker-shortlisted author of His Bloody Project blurs the lines between patient and therapist, fiction and documentation, and reality and dark imagination.
London, 1965. An unworldly young woman believes that a charismatic psychotherapist, Collins Braithwaite, has driven her sister to suicide. Intent on confirming her suspicions, she assumes a false identity and presents herself to him as a client, recording her experiences in a series of notebooks. But she soon finds herself drawn into a world in which she can no longer be certain of anything. Even her own character.
In Case Study , Graeme Macrae Burnet presents these notebooks interspersed with his own biographical research into Collins Braithwaite. The result is a dazzling—and often wickedly humorous—meditation on the nature of sanity, identity and truth itself, by one of the most inventive novelists writing today.

đ About Project:
đ A database built for e-bookstore case studies. đ The database built using SQL in Microsoft SQL Server 18 .
𧞠Scenario:
The availability of books and reading material for purchase within the University is quite inadequate. Although the university library has vast collection of books (both hardcopy and e-books), the availability of it is quite limited and bound by many restrictions. Student and staffs only have the option of a small bookshop within the enterprise. Larger books store in the city are often sought for other varieties. In view of the growing population, the university is planning to establish an e-bookstore. The online store will facilitate the purchase of latest books and material of many genres. Your team is assigned the project to design a database system for online University e-Bookstore System. ⢠Publishers of books frequently send lists of latest books and materials to the e-bookstore manager. The bookstore manager compiles a list of needed books and sends an order to the publishers. The publisher supplies the ordered books to the university. The bookstore manager records the details of a new book, along with the number of the books that have arrived at the bookstore. An invoice is sent to the accounts department to be processed and payment made. ⢠Customers, who wish to purchase books online, need to initially register as members. Members will be able to view the book, read reviews and compare the online products with other similar articles. ⢠Members who wish to purchase can select their books into the websiteâs shopping cart. The cart will show the summary of the selection and total cost to be paid. Once the payment is made, the customer will be able to print or save the receipts. The bookstore will send the books to the customers within 7 working days. ⢠The system should manage information about books in the bookstore, inventory, (registered) customers and books they have ordered. It should also store information about user opinions and book ratings. ⢠Users can also provide 'feedback' for a book, as a score (1-10 which is 0= terrible, 10= masterpiece) along with optional short text. No changes are allowed; only one feedback per user per book is allowed.

CHICAGO â What do a composer, a writer, a painter, a historian, a political activist, and a social agency office have in common? They all create documents to communicate and inform the world, making documentation a necessity for any human interaction in society. Published by Facet Publishing and available through the ALA Store, â Introduction to Documentation Studies â outlines the historical background of, and the theoretical foundation for a complementary approach to documentation issues and processes: not only in the context of academic study, but also in the practice of documentation in different parts of society. Using six case studies, Niels Windfeld Lund shows how a complementary analysis of the intertwined processes of documentation, communication, and information in any kind of human interaction can be conducted. It demonstrates the relationships between the agents involved and the means chosen, and in which modes the resulting complexes of documents are created, regardless of the field. The book provides a solid theoretical and analytical framework for professionals in archives, libraries, and museums, and for all those who manage documents as part of their professional life in healthcare, transportation, education, production, and trade.
Lund became the first employee and full professor in Documentation Studies at the Department of Documentation Studies, University of Tromsø, Norway. Dr. Lund was Associate Professor at the Royal School of Library and Information Science in Denmark and has twice been Visiting Professor at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2001 Dr. Lund founded The Document Academy, an international network for Documentation studies organizing annual DOCAM conferences around the world. He is still active as Professor Emeritus, participating in research projects.
