Analytics for Good Institute Cases
Education is core to our mission. To help students learn and apply analytics techniques, we develop and publish teaching cases with real data sets from clients and other partners.
Our current library of analytics teaching cases covers a variety of real business problems related to social media strategy, digital attribution, freemium models, search engine marketing, and more. Through these cases, students can practice applying their analytics skills using real data and in a business context.
Our cases have been used at universities around the world, including MIT Sloan, NYU Stern, McGill University, Indian School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University, UC Davis and UC Irvine, Tel Aviv University, and elsewhere.
