Thunderbird Case Series

Thunderbird's faculty actively research and develop case studies based on complex current global business scenarios. Impeccably written and thought-provoking, these cases are used in Thunderbird degree programs and executive education environments to illustrate real-world global management occurrences and initiate deep analysis and professor/student discussion of causes and solutions. These unique case studies offer brilliant insight into international business and are available for purchase as part of the Thunderbird Case Series.

Annual Thunderbird Case Series Conference: CaseCraft 3.0 - The Human Experience Meets AI

Join us for the "Annual Thunderbird Case Series Conference: CaseCraft 3.0 - The Human Experience Meets AI" event taking place on Friday, February 27, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Thunderbird School of Global Management.

For three decades, the Thunderbird Case Series has shaped global management education through rigorous research, immersive storytelling, and impactful teaching materials used around the world. As we mark the 30th anniversary of TCS' founding, we also look ahead to the next era of case development—one where human insight and artificial intelligence work together to push the boundaries of learning.

Our second annual Case Series Conference, The Human Experience Meets AI brings this evolution to life. This daylong event blends reflection and forward-looking exploration. Attendees will engage with faculty experts, learn about modern approaches to case writing, and discover how AI tools are transforming the creation, teaching, and analysis of real-world management challenges.

Whether you're new to case writing or an experienced educator, this event offers an inspiring space to connect, learn, and imagine the future of global case pedagogy.
