Finding Case Studies

The best databases for finding case studies are

ABI Inform

Limit under to case study under document type.  


Emerald (do not click on the tab marked "case studies," instead do a keyword search for "case studies" and whatever you are researching. Emerald is management oriented.)

Business Source Ultimate.(limit under publication type to case study)


Whatever database you use, I recommend you also do a keyword search for case studies and your topic.

Measuring Short Interest in a Company's Shares

Let's say you need to know the short selling interest in a stock. Short selling means that you sell borrowed shares at today's prices before you have to pay for them. Which means you can make money in a declining market.

The easiest way to do this is to check the NASDAQ (EVEN FOR STOCKS THAT ARE NYSE-LISTED) website.

In NASDAQ, put in the name of your company, and then look at the left hand side of the screen. You should see short interest listed there.
