CRJ Cases

Where to Access Cases for your Classes

Adopting cases through NACRA distribution partners

NACRA cases are available for adoption through the leading distributors of business cases globally, including the Harvard Business School Press, Ivey Publishing and the Case Centre. Links to all of our distributors are below. Most of these distributors provide sophisticated search capabilities to allow you to find the perfect CRJ cases for your courses (if you want to find just CRJ cases when searching, include ‘NACRA’ as one of your search words). These distributors enable you to create a course pack for adoption by your students that combine CRJ cases with cases from other sources, textbook chapters, business publications, and in some instances your own content.

NACRA currently has agreements with the following distributors.

If you are using one of these distributors, but cannot find the CRJ case you want, contact the NACRA VP Case Marketing to see if it can be added to that collection for you.

Including CRJ Cases in your Textbooks

CRJ cases are available for inclusion in textbooks for a one-time royalty fee of $400 for the current edition (plus $1.50 for each custom copy adopted if that option is provided with the book). Please contact NACRA’s VP of Marketing for details and to make arrangements to include one or more CRJ cases in your next textbook.

Case Research Journal – Case Abstracts by Volume and Issue

These are the abstracts for cases published in the Case Research Journal.  Students and faculty may purchase the full cases for classroom use from our distribution partners.  Faculty considering case adoption for their classes may contact our distributors for complementary review copies of cases and instructor manuals.  Our distributors will verify and approve faculty status before providing access to electronic documents watermarked “not for reproduction”.
