The "Outstanding Compact Case" award for the case Ben & Jerry’s vs. Unilever: Serving Ice Cream, Cherry Topping and Geopolitics? is an excellent recognition, both for the author and for the School, highlighting the excellence of our teaching cases within the international academic community.

Each year, The Case Centre publishes rankings of the most widely recognized cases. Several HEC Paris cases are featured in these selections:

  • The Geopolitics of Amazon, written by Jeremy Ghez, stands out by reaching the Top 15 “best-selling cases” in the category Economics, Politics and Business Environment.

  • The cases of our late colleague Denis Gromb continue to rank among the best-selling finance cases, making Denis, posthumously, one of The Case Centre’s “Top 50 Best-Selling Authors.”

  • The case Michelin Fleet Solutions: From Selling Tires to Selling Kilometers, co-authored by Chloé Renault, Frédéric Dalsace, and Wolfgang Ulaga, was selected in the “Classic Cases 2025” category.

This momentum reflects both the recognition of our authors and the international impact of HEC Paris teaching cases.
