Harvard Business School offering course that includes WWE case study
Students at the Harvard Business School will be delving into WWE as part of an upcoming course.
WWE announced Tuesday that a case study on the company will be included in professor Anita Elberse's course "The Business of Entertainment, Media, and Sports," beginning this fall.
"The course will explore factors that drive sustained success for organizations and individuals in sports and entertainment; understand how companies can diversify beyond their core business to create engagement and value for fans and other stakeholders; and how business can best pursue contracts with star talent," WWE said.
