Knowing how to reference a case study in your reference list depends on where the case study has come from:

•  If you found the case study in an academic journal, then reference it in the same way that you would an academic journal article. 
•  If you found it on a website, reference it as you would a webpage.
•  If you found it in the FT, the Economist or similar, reference it as you would a news article.
•  If you found it in a database such as MarketLine, reference it as you would a market report.
