European Case Clearing House
ecch is an independent, educational, non-profit, membership based organisation with no share capital and a registered charity. Its mission is to promote the case method in management education by raising awareness, increasing usage and developing the skills of case teachers and authors.
ecch was created in 1973 as the Case Clearing House of Great Britain and Ireland - the result of a co-ordinated initiative by 22 institutions of higher education. The aim was to establish a facility for exchanging case materials among teachers of business administration. The UK office was set up at Cranfield School of Management, UK. The organisation obtained formal charity status in 1974. In 1991 CCHGBI became the European Case Clearing House to reflect the growth in case writing and teaching throughout Europe. In 1992 a US office was opened at Babson College to serve the North American market. In 2005, the organisation was rebranded as ecch, to support the global reach of its operations.

Famous quotes containing the words european, case, clearing and/or house:
“No European spring had shown him the same intermixture of delicate grace and passionate depravity that marked the Maryland May.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
““In my youth,” said his father, “I took to the law,
And argued each case with my wife;
And the muscular strength, which it gave to my jaw,
Has lasted the rest of my life.””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“Usually the scenery about them is drear and savage enough; and the logger’s camp is as completely in the woods as a fungus at the foot of a pine in a swamp; no outlook but to the sky overhead; no more clearing than is made by cutting down the trees of which it is built, and those which are necessary for fuel.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Most books belong to the house and street only, and in the fields their leaves feel very thin. They are bare and obvious, and have no halo nor haze about them. Nature lies far and fair behind them all. But this, as it proceeds from, so it addresses, what is deepest and most abiding in man. It belongs to the noontide of the day, the midsummer of the year, and after the snows have melted, and the waters evaporated in the spring, still its truth speaks freshly to our experience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
