Abstract: A case study is a valuable instrument for teaching and examining business related disciplines. Application and utilization of case studies have been discussed at length in the academic literature. To a lesser degree, authors have addressed the issue of case production.

Through an ongoing analysis of overlaps and differences between teaching and research cases there might be a possibility of transition from a research to teaching case and vice versa.
