About the
Acadia Institute of Case StudiesThe Acadia Institute of Case Studies (AICS) is a non-profit
centre in the School of Business Administration, Acadia University. The purpose
of the Institute is to develop educational resource materials to assist
educators and instructors in the classroom by providing innovative and enhanced
"teaching tools" which reflect "real-world" situations. The
Institute's focus is on entrepreneurship and small business operations.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
& SMALL BUSINESS CASE STUDIESEntrepreneurship and small business are the backbone of our
nation's economy. In efforts to foster and promote the concept of
entrepreneurship and small business, the Acadia Institute of Case Studies
(AICS) has developed a series of case studies that can help prepare the
entrepreneur and would-be entrepreneur for the realities facing the small
business operator.
These case studies are intended to help students learn problem-solving and decision-making skills, sometimes under complex and difficult circumstances.
The Institute currently has approximately 80 case studies available, including associated teaching notes and some with accompanying videos. These cases have been written and reviewed by university professors in collaboration with industry partners, and are being used in universities, community colleges, high schools and small business management programs. Case development is ongoing and new cases will be added to our case catalogue as they are completed and ready for distribution.
All cases are copyrighted by the AICS. Cases can be photocopied for educational purposes. This permission does not include reproduction.
If you are interested in entrepreneurship and small business case studies, please browse through our online cases, and download them. If you are instructor and you wish to get the teaching notes, then you need to apply a password.
