HEC Partners Harvard Business Publishing Education for Case Studies

HEC Partners Harvard Business Publishing Education for Case Studies

HEC Paris and Harvard Business Publishing Education (HBP Education) have signed a new collaboration to increase the school’s visibility through its case studies. HEC joins an elite group of institutions distributing cases globally through the HBP Education catalog.

HEC Paris Partners with Harvard Business Publishing Education to distribute quality cases

HBP Education, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, serves as a bridge between academia and enterprises through its reach into academic, corporate, and consumer markets. "This is just the beginning of a most fruitful relationship,” said HBP co-president Ellen Desmarais at the April 23 signing ceremony in the HEC Alumni Association headquarters. "Our partnership provides so many opportunities to work together, to innovate together, and to think about this future together,” she continued. HEC Paris is one of the very few case partners providing both French and English cases, which is helping HBP Education better serve its global audience of students and educators. Other major business schools partnering HBP include Wharton and INSEAD.
 
HEC Dean of Research Andrea Masini declared: “This partnership tells our professors that writing case studies is absolutely vital not only because it has an impact on the pedagogy but also on the international visibility of the school.” 
 
Associate Dean for Pedagogy, Anne Michaut thanked HBP Education for their help in the past two years: “Collaboration between the two has been instrumental in refining case methodologies and identifying relevant topics. The partnership continues to unveil new opportunities for collaboration and growth.”

The collaboration between HEC and Harvard will continue to be instrumental in helping academics in case methodologies and identifying topics deemed relevant for students on all continents. The Co-president of the American not-for-profit organization, Ellen Desmarais, cited the example of cases in citizenship: “One of the things we are hearing more and more from deans around the world is that they believe it's important for students to learn how to be true citizens of the world and think about the global context and global environment. Case studies on this subject can have a huge impact." Professor Michaut praised the quality of dialogue between her business school and HBP Education: “I want to thank you for pushing us to put in place a process to support our faculty in case writing for publication. As Andrea Masini said, it increases our visibility tremendously and encourages quality exchange between faculty members.” Michaut went on to thank the work achieved in instigating the partnership by HEC’s Ioana Helou and Mala Banerjee

Also present at the ceremony were HBP Education’s senior director EMEA & Asia Pacific, Gabriela Allmi, and the publication editors Stefaan Van Waes and David Champion. HEC’s 50 case studies are scheduled to go online before the 2024 summer break.
