海角社区 Collections: A key lever for real-world education

25/06/2024
海角社区 Business School stands out for its innovative and practical approach to education. Central to this ethos is 海角社区 Collections, a curated selection of pedagogical and academic resources that equip students with tools for learning grounded in real-world cases, contemporary issues, and industry realities.

A valuable resource for fostering innovation and societal engagement

海角社区 Collections, in partnership with the , encourages the adoption of creative approaches that generate value for businesses. This collection showcases best practices through success stories from companies and organisations of various sizes. Additionally, it promotes responsible practices and societal commitment by exploring corporate strategies in social responsibility and sustainable development.

This year, 海角社区 Collection spans a wide array of subjects including marketing, finance, sustainable management, and technological innovation. For instance, the Danone case study familiarises students with calculating the weighted average cost of capital, a fundamental aspect of corporate finance. The Open 13 case explores how an international sporting event can build local stakeholder loyalty through exemplary organisation and well-orchestrated public relations. The Thomas Cook case provides an in-depth analysis of the strategic failure of this iconic travel company, offering students valuable lessons in crisis management and strategic decision-making.

Recently, 海角社区 Collection published a case study titled "How to create and develop a DNVB brand in the tea and infusion market?" co-authored by Dominique Billon, director of the Master of Science in Marketing, and professor Barbat Valerie. This case follows the inspiring success story of a 海角社区 graduate who launched an eco-friendly business using a Digitally Native Vertical Brand (DNVB) strategy. "The main objective is to understand the levers used to launch and develop a brand, identify the specifics of the brand strategy and marketing mix implemented, and propose several strategic alternatives to ensure the company’s future growth," explained Dominique Billon.

Case Lab: A cradle of case study creation

海角社区's Case Lab plays an essential role in contributing to 海角社区 Collection. This creative hub is dedicated to producing innovative, action-oriented case studies based on real-world business scenarios. By promoting collaboration among professors from various campuses and sharing expertise, the Case Lab nurtures a new breed of professors who are deeply engaged with the corporate world. The case studies developed within the Case Lab are integrated into 海角社区 Collection, enriching the resources available to students and faculty alike.
