Case studies, using real life business situations or imagined business scenarios, are a primary teaching method used by business schools to teach students how to analyze problems and develop solutions in business. While effective and important teaching tools, published case studies used in business schools globally primarily include white male protagonists and often do not incorporate key topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) that are critical for businesses in an increasingly interconnected business world and society.
To tackle this, EGAL writes and publishes case studies. Some of these include:
Responsible A.I.: Tackling Tech's Largest Corporate Governance Challenges
McElhaney, Smith, Rustagi & Groth
Eliminating the Gender Pay Gap: Gap Inc. Leads the Way
McElhaney & Smith
Zendesk: Building Female Leaders Through Mentorship
McElhaney, Mancia & Rustagi
In addition, EGAL developed and maintains a case compendium that tracks case studies with diverse protagonists, as well as those on DEI-related topics.
