Case Method Seminar

Case Library

The FASID Case Library has 65 English and 20 Japanese development- related cases. The topics include project management, organizational management, aid cooperation, human resource development, agriculture, industry, health, finance, democratization, environment, cross-cultural communication, emergency aid, post conflict management, and many others.

These cases were developed by the participants of the FASID Case Method Seminar (Case Writing Work shop) which has been offered since 1992. The cases were completed under the supervision of Professor Laurence Lynn of the University of Chicago, Professor John Boehrer of University of Washington, and Professor Katsuhiko Mori of the International Christian University.

Cases are compiled in a seven volume set of casebooks, and these cases are provided free of charge for educational and training purposes. All the Casebooks and accompanied Teaching Notes are available at FASID. FASID has provided cases to many universities and training institutions in Japan and abroad (US, Canada, Switzerland, Thailand, Bangladesh, Pakistan, & Philippines).
