Non profit/Social impact cases

Question

Are there any good resources to practice non-profit or social impact type cases?

Answer 1

Hi there,

My approach

Public sector cases are tricky because they feasibly be any case type (Product Launch - new service for citizens; M&A - merging two departments; even Profitability - cost cutting mandate). For any public sector case, I recommend:

First identifying the type of case it is.
Second, leverage your knowledge of the public sector as constraints/considerations.

Framework Resource

In terms of resources, the UPenn Wharton 2011 casebook has a framework for public sector. It's split into:

Strategic rationale (Mission of organisation and stakeholder reactions)
Deal economics (planned investment and returns, if any)
Other (Required capabilities and risks)

Practice Cases

If you want some practice cases:

Tepper 2008's "NGO Effectiveness"
Colombia 2011's "MadeCasse"

Hope this helps, and please don't hesitate to ask any follow-up/clarifying questions!
