This cooperation has resulted in a Harvard Business Case on the Moods of Norway. And the case is now available to be used in teaching at Harvard.
The idea of creating a Harvard Business case about Moods of Norway, arose from Dorte Krogh, Krogh&Co Design Agency in Copenhagen, when she as a jury member at “Award for Design Excellence’ for the Norwegian Design Council met the Moods-boys and made the connection with Harvard. The case is developed and written as teamwork between Copenhagen Business School professor Robert D. Austin, case-writer Shannon O’Donnel, Phd. Fellow at Copenhagen Business School and Dorte Krogh.
