"[The case method] was revolutionary for me . . . I was at a point in my career when I was frustrated. . . . I needed to get to that next level and wasn’t sure how to get there. . . . The case studies help me see things differently. . . . The program and how consistent your support and follow up is has changed my life." — CMI partner teacher
David Moss
Paul Whiton Cherington Professor, Harvard Business School
David Moss is the Paul Whiton Cherington Professor at Harvard Business School. Before joining the Harvard Business School faculty in 1993, he received his B.A. from Cornell University and his Ph.D. from Yale. David is the author of numerous books, articles, and case studies, mainly on the history of economic policy and democratic governance in the United States. He is the recipient of many honors, including the Student Association Faculty Award for outstanding teaching at Harvard Business School (twelve times) and the American Risk and Insurance Association’s Annual Kulp-Wright Book Award for the “most influential text published on the economics of risk management and insurance.” He also helped to create the Tobin Project, a nonprofit research organization, which received the MacArthur Award for Creative and Effective Institutions.
In 2013, David launched a case-based course on the history of American democracy for Harvard undergraduates and MBA students. The success of this course inspired his 2017 book, Democracy: A Case Study, as well as the creation of the Case Method Project at Harvard Business School in 2015 and, subsequently, the Case Method Institute for Education and Democracy in 2020.
