Business schools make heavy use of “the case method,” a form of teaching in which short narratives pose problems confronting a company.  The case studies teach students to put themselves in certain situations and use the given information to reason their way out. However, most of the case studies that have been produced for this purpose feature only men as the main characters, as well as mostly Western situations. Indeed the lessons usually are built around challenges peculiar to very large companies. Double X Economy has developed cases that address various gender issues within a business context. Most of them are also international in scope and several are set in developing countries. They are all free for download here.
