Overview

The John L. Alford Case Library offers public-sector case studies set mainly in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific. With more than 200 cases from all levels of government, there is almost certainly a case to suit your needs.

Searching for cases

There are several ways to search for case studies. Use our simple, online search facility to refine your search by teaching topic, concept, policy area or agency type. Alternatively, use a keyword search to find the subject you are seeking. The search will bring all materials associated with the topic, including teaching notes and supplementary class material, and will show the date of the latest published version. Our cases may be stand-alone single cases, single-part cases with a brief epilogue ('what happened next') or multi-part cases that can be used in their entirety or in segments. More short-story cases, which can be read in class before discussion, are being developed.

Accessing the collection

Once you have found a case that suits your needs, download the case document. It’s as simple as that.

Teaching notes and supplementary materials, however, are not directly downloadable. Access is generally restricted to instructors and members of ANZSOG partner organisations. Please submit your request here.
