One of the many things I love about working with Business & Economics is how the skills and strategies being taught are so practical & useful. In many cases, students are working on projects and policies that are directly and immediately relevant to issues and needs in the world beyond our campuses.
I'm excited to announce that SFU just gained over 500 new business case studies. They've been added to our Sage Business Cases (SBC) database, bringing us to 4772 cases in one resource!
I wrote a long post about Sage Business Cases when we first got it last spring. The highlights are...
Frost & Sullivan, our source for market reports on emerging technologies, has been on a bit of a self-improvement journey lately... and SFU's researchers get the benefits!
In celebration of Love Data Week (February 14 - 18) — an international celebration of all things data — the SFU Library has collaborated with the libraries of UBC, UNBC, and UVic to plan an illuminating series of online talks & workshops.

Speaking of data... SAGE is also hosting three webinars during Love Data Week 2022, all focused on Data Planet...
The access procedures for our popular S&P Capital IQ (CapIQ) database have changed...
The main web interface for S&P Capital IQ is, as always, available both on campus and remotely for all current SFU researchers. However, S&P has implemented some adjustments to the procedure...
OK, I wasn't actually gone -- certainly not to a warm place with palm trees. I've just been incredibly busy since my last post. Something had to be dropped, and I'm afraid it ended up being my old friend, the BUEC Buzz.
My last post was 314 days ago. That is, by far, my longest break from the Buzz since I started the blog 22 years, 2 months, and...
I'm very pleased to announce that SFU instructors, students, and alumni now have unlimited access to over 4200 case studies in the Sage Business Cases database!
Sage Business Cases is a global and diverse collection of case studies designed to help students see theoretical business concepts put into practice. Sage has ensured broad coverage by partnering with well-known business case producers from around the world such as...
It's been a couple months since I first announced our new subscription to GFDatabase, a source for global economic & financial data spanning decades — centuries in many cases!
To help entice those who haven't yet explored GFDatabase, I thought I'd highlight the value of the long-long-long-range perspective that it provides...
A couple years ago I collaborated with our Interactive Arts & Technology Librarian on a series of posts about one of the "wicked problems" of our modern world: sustainability in the textile & fashion industries.
That series was published to support an interdisciplinary cohort of students in our Business of Design program, all of whom were working on projects to change the way fashion and its materials are designed, produced, purchased, and discarded... change of the sort that our world so desperately needs.
The word "change" is key here. The Business of Design program has changed to Make Change Studio, but the students involved are still trying to change the world, and they've returned to the topic of fixing fast fashion.
HBP Student Success includes two very useful learning resources: a collection of selected Harvardcase studies plus a collection of "core curriculum" readings on foundational concepts...
