Dear Reader,
On the occasion of the #WorldCaseTeachingDay, we are happy to present the second anniversary issue of Just-in-Case! We provide information on our 2020 classic and bestselling cases. In 2020, IBS was the most successful Institute in terms of total number of worldwide bestselling cases, next only to Harvard Business School.

Our first Featured Case, “Elizabeth Holmes and the Rise and Fall of Theranos Inc.” covers the dark side of entrepreneurship where an entrepreneur is found to have built up a US$ 9 billion company on the foundation of lies and deceit. The second Featured Case talks about how Sistema Biobolsa, a social enterprise in Mexico addressed several challenges that small and marginal farmers in Mexico and across the world faced.

In the Perspectives section, we speak to Pierre Chandon, The L’Oréal Chaired Professor of Marketing, Innovation and Creativity at INSEAD. We also present a talk by The Director of Case Research Center, Dr. Debapratim Purkayastha on Case Method for Teaching Excellence at the Indian Management Conclave in 2019.

We hope you enjoy reading the anniversary issue and look forward to receiving feedback from you.

Best wishes
