This article aims to analyze how the case study has been used in research on School of Management in Brazil. The research is characterized as qualitative literature, because we used the withdrawal method of secondary sources. In short, after performing advanced searches in three scientific articles databases, select the articles that used the case study as a research method to a nalyze the School of Management in the national context. These articles were evaluated in two ways. First, we collect general data of articles descriptively. And then, we analyze the characteristics of case study applied. Our review indicates that research are characterized as unique case studies, qualitative case studies and employ multiple data collection instruments; most authors that describes how the data were analyzed; there are few instrumental research; that does not exist evaluative research in rel ation to the objectives; and that the authors do not show characteristic signs of positivist epistemological perspective. Finally, we conclude that the use of the Case Study in research on School of Management has sufficient scope and consistency to show i mportant details of the School of Management in the Brazilian context.
