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.

“Ghosts, we hope, may be always with us—that is, never too far out of the reach of fancy. On the whole, it would seem they adapt themselves well, perhaps better than we do, to changing world conditions—they enlarge their domain, shift their hold on our nerves, and, dispossessed of one habitat, set up house in another. The universal battiness of our century looks like providing them with a propitious climate ...”
