Case Studies

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 often lack variety in protagonists and leadership topics.

The Center for Equity, Gender & Leadership writes and publishes case studies to fill this gap. Some of those 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

Promoting a Culture of Equity in the Era of #MeToo: Moving Beyond Responding to Gender-Related Workplace Issues to Tackling Root Causes

McElhaney, Smith & Goelz

Zendesk: Building Female Leaders Through Mentorship

In addition, we developed and maintain a case compendium that tracks case studies with diverse protagonists, as well as those on DEI-related topics.
