About the Awards

Presented annually since 1991, the European Case Awards recognise outstanding case study development in Europe. Awards are made to authors of the cases that have achieved the highest and most consistent growth in popularity worldwide. The objective is to provide formal recognition and exposure for successful case authors and their institutions.

Awards are made in up to nine management categories, plus one overall winning case for each year. In 2004 a new award for the institution at which the overall winning case was authored was inaugurated in memory of Sumantra Ghoshal, one of the greatest case writers.


Selection criteria

Awards are presented to authors of cases that achieve the highest rates of growth in popularity. ecch measures 'popularity' by reference to the number of institutions that have ordered a case to teach with. It is a quantitative and objective assessment, which avoids subjective opinion.


Awards presentation

ecch presents the Awards at an annual ceremony in, or near, the location of the overall award winning institution. This takes place in conjunction with a celebratory lunch or dinner and in the presence of a guest of honour from the world of cases or the subject matter of the overall winning case. The guest of honour generally addresses the guests and presents the Awards.

The 2008 annual European Case Awards were presented at a special ceremony in Paris, France on Thursday 2 October 2008. Winning case authors received framed certificates and individual hand crafted trophies by David Linley.
