Renewable and sustainable energy, technology and development
For the inaugural competition the ecch executive committee has identified 'Renewable and sustainable energy, technology and development' as an emerging 'hot topic' in the classroom. Cases are invited that feature a business situation within this topic area. Relevance to the topic will form part of the judging criteria.
New case writer
This category is designed to recognise new case authors. Submissions must be the first teaching case prepared by the author(s) in a format that can be used by other case teachers. The case may focus on any business subject area.
NB An author may enter both categories in the same year but not with the same case.
Prizes
The author(s) of the winning case in each category will receive a single prize of EUR1,500.
Eligibility
The authors
Case authors must be teachers of management education. Students and research assistants are only eligible if they are part of an author team led by a faculty member. Cases can be written by one or more authors. Teams of authors may be from different institutions worldwide but the copyright owner must be stated on the submission form. If entering the new case writer category the submission must be the first teaching case for all authors.
The case
Submissions must have been tested in the classroom, completed after 1 April 2009 and be in English. They may be compiled from field research, published sources or generalised experience. Authors may submit a single case or a case series. The case, or case series, must be a maximum of 5,000 words, excluding exhibits and annexes. Each submission must be accompanied by a teaching note for which there is no word limit.

Recognition
This competition forms part of ecch's Global Case Awards that will be launched in 2011. This is a development of the European Case Awards that were introduced in 1991 to recognise outstanding case development. The Awards are a unique event that acknowledge the authors of high quality cases and the role they play in management education. Many high profile management educators have been recipients of awards, click to view details.
The competition winners will be announced with a press release in March next year alongside the 2011 award winners. This will be sent to key business education press contacts worldwide. The winners will also be announced on the ecch website, in ECCHO magazine and in an advert in the business education section of the FT. Winning cases will be identified as a prize winner in the ecch on-line product database helping raise their profile to potential users. Winning case authors will be offered the chance to have their case featured on the ecch website and may be invited to present their case at an ecch event.
