“The aim of our new Berkeley-Haas Case Series is to incite business innovation by clarifying disruptive trends and questioning the status quo,” says Rich Lyons, dean of the Haas School of Business.
The Berkeley-Haas Case Series will provide a new resource for business professors, practitioners, and policy makers, as well as students and alumni wanting to learn how questioning the status quo can lead to innovation and success.
The Haas cases intentionally align with the school’s mission to develop the next generation of innovative leaders who drive fresh thinking at every level of their organizations. Some of the cases draw on lessons learned in Haas’ experiential learning courses focused on applied innovation.
