Welcoming new achievements in case writing excellence for ESCP

ESCP ranks among the world’s top business schools for its teaching cases’ impact and launches new Case Collection

ESCP Business School ranked 24th in the 2025 Case Centre Impact Index, a seven-place rise from the previous year and our first entry into the global top 25. This recognition reflects the School’s growing influence in case-based management education and the success of its cross-campus initiative, the Case Project (CaP) @ ESCP.

Launched in 2023, the Case Centre Impact Index ranks institutions annually based on the reach and influence of their faculty-authored teaching cases. ESCP’s rise highlights the calibre of its faculty and reflects a broader shift toward a collective, strategic institutional approach to case production and dissemination.

We are incredibly proud of this achievement, which shows what becomes possible when individual creativity is guided by shared purpose. The Case Project has demonstrated that when inspired faculty efforts are channelled through a common vision and strong institutional support, their impact multiplies—reaching new classrooms, deepening critical discussions, and amplifying ESCP’s international influence. Our leap in the Case Centre’s Impact Index is powerful evidence of that multiplier effect.

Global recognition for ESCP’s impact in case writing

ESCP has long demonstrated excellence in case writing. The School’s current portfolio includes 63 faculty-authored cases listed with The Case Centre, six of which are prize-winning cases. In the past academic year, 16 ESCP cases were taught at 53 institutions across 24 countries, reaching over 8,000 students.

Each case not only broadens ESCP’s international footprint but also enriches our own classrooms—bringing fresh managerial insights and lived business dilemmas directly into the learning experience. Standout prize-winning faculty include:

  • Professor Alberta Di Giuli: Prada’s Hong Kong IPO
  • Professors Marion Festing & Tobias Schumacher: Moving Tomorrow – A Cultural Journey
  • Professor Martin Kupp: Driving Digital Transformation at Faurecia
  • Professor Valérie Moatti: Louis Vuitton: New Product Introductions vs Product Availability
  • Professor Maral Muratbekova-Touron: The Acquisition Experiences of KazOil
  • Professor Ezequiel Reficco: TecSalud’s Response to COVID-19

This year, Professor Martin Kupp also received the Outstanding Contribution to the Case Method Award from The Case Centre, alongside Professor Urs Mueller of SDA Bocconi. Together, they have trained over 1,300 educators through more than 80 global workshops and co-authored The Ultimate Case Guide to advance excellence in case method education.

These achievements demonstrate how ESCP’s faculty are shaping global business education through the creation of high-quality, practice-based pedagogical materials and resources.

The launch of ESCP’s Case Collection

This year’s ranking coincides with the official launch of ESCP’s institutional Case Collection on The Case Centre platform. The collection brings together all ESCP-authored cases under a dedicated, branded portal—boosting global visibility, simplifying adoption, and reinforcing the School’s academic reputation.

With a committed community of faculty authors, an institutional infrastructure to support and scale our work, and a curated Case Collection now live, ESCP is strengthening its presence and influence in the global case method landscape.

The launch of our Case Collection is a milestone in ESCP’s long-term commitment to pedagogical excellence. It shines a light on our collective effort and reinforces our ambition to contribute to global management education. Most importantly, it helps us bring world-class, practice-based learning into our classrooms—enhancing the student experience and connecting theory with real managerial practice.

The ESCP Case Project: scaling case writing excellence under a shared vision

ESCP’s growing influence in case-based learning is supported by the launch of CaP in 2023. Historically, the School’s case writing output was driven by accomplished faculty working independently. Today, CaP serves as a cross-campus initiative that connects, supports, and scales the work of case writers across all six campuses.

Through CaP, faculty receive dedicated research funding, peer review, editorial and proofreading support to ensure high-quality pedagogical output. Beyond supporting individual authors, CaP has become a platform for institutional learning. It has created shared processes, mentoring structures, and editorial standards that make case writing a collective capability.

Since its launch, CaP has significantly increased collaboration between campuses and accelerated case production. ESCP-authored cases are now distributed through popular managerial educational platforms such as Harvard Business Publishing and The Case Centre, expanding their reach and visibility worldwide.

Looking ahead, ESCP aims to build on this momentum to embed case-based learning more firmly within its broader pedagogical vision. The Case Project is laying the groundwork for the integration of our teaching, case-work, and academic research—advancing a model of active learning that is distinctly ESCP.
