Hi there,

Pretty much every case book has unconventional cases! Just as an example, the Columbia casebook (2017) has the following nonstandard cases:

Case #1 Alkaline Ash

Case #3 California Parking Lot

Case #10 Hotel Ocho

Case #12 Life Insurance Merger

Case #15 Outsourced School Food Service

Case #20 Pre-K Education

Case #21 Rock Band

Case #23 Tristar Home Appliances

I've also created a fair few unconventional cases (as they're my specialty!). Take a look here:

Hello!

I would agree, recommend casebooks from business schools! :) 

If you are looking for a specific topic, you can use PrepL´s library, since here you can filter out

Cheers, 

Clara

A newspaper ;)

No really, just look at the cover of business newspaper and whenever they talk about a problem think about how you would approach it. 

Then read the content, as you'll be able to check if you addressed the key points.
