Our Clients
CBE's members bring a wide range of experiences and skillsets to the table, making up case teams with valuable expertise in fields ranging from biotechnology and cloud computing to water management and battery power. Our casework falls into four main areas: marketing strategy, product and consumer research, market entry, and competitive analysis. Each of these is approached by each case team in a way that is tailored to fit each client with full use of Harvard's resources including Harvard Business School's library, professors, and alumni. The deliverables on a typical case include a presentation with final recommendations accompanied by a detailed research report.
