This interactive multimedia case invites learners to explore Bhutan’s distinctive approach to development through the framework of Gross National Happiness (GNH). The case introduces the country’s historical, cultural, and political context while tracing the origins and foundations of GNH as an alternative to conventional economic indicators. Through videos, interactive maps, quizzes, and expert perspectives, participants engage with a holistic understanding of well-being that encompasses economic, social, cultural, environmental, and psychological dimensions.

 

By examining how GNH informs public policy, governance, and organizational decision-making, the case challenges learners to rethink how success and progress are defined and measured. It further encourages reflection on the relevance of well-being frameworks in global, organizational, and personal contexts, linking national development debates with leadership, ethics, and individual flourishing. Ideal for courses in leadership, sustainability, public policy, ethics, and human development, this case offers an immersive learning experience that reimagines progress for the 21st century.
