Executive Education
The College of Business Administration offers executive-level management programs custom-designed to meet the specific needs of individual companies. Many of these international companies rely on Northeastern University to provide high-level management with the tools necessary to compete in a rapidly changing global economy.
Northeastern University Case Series
The Northeastern University Case Series was originally created through the support of an endowment by Darla and Frederick Brodsky. Started in 1999, more than 75 cases and teaching notes have been registered in Ivey Publishing's catalog and on-line ordering system of almost 2000 business cases. A part of the Ivey Business School, which is the second largest producer of business case studies in the world, Ivey Publishing markets and distributes the Northeastern cases worldwide.
The majority of cases in the Northeastern series deal with international business issues and/or technology intensive companies. Below is a list of cases and abstracts (by clicking on the title you will be redirected to the abstract on the Ivey Publishing site).
