Compass Box Whisky Company (with Romana Autrey), Harvard Business School Case, 108-032 (2007). (Listed in Harvard Business School Publishing's "Most Popular" case list, this case is available in traditional English-language written format, as an audio case, and as a Spanish-language written case.)
This case presents an innovative scotch whisky company which is facing a potentially fatal shortage of component whisky to make it's blended products. The company needs to decide whether to fundamentally change it's business model, and as part of this decision they need to figure out how to account for the new model. This case serves as an excellent introduction to managerial accounting - how figuring out and understanding the accounting can help a manager make business decisions - and as an effective case on inventory accounting for financial accounting.

It details the struggles that the company faced in dealing with investors and attracting attention during the tech boom of the late 1990s, and the thought process underlying the decision to eventually go private. The case is fairly specialized, but serves as an excellent example and source of discussion for courses on investor relations, or taking companies public.
