registering cases with ecch

ecch aims to make case registration a straightforward process. To register a case you must complete a registration form, provide a copy of the case in the appropriate format and supporting documentation. Please follow the case submission checklist.

Cases are designed for teaching and the end user will be the final judge of how successful a case is. However, ecch has a duty of care to its members and customers to ensure a high quality of teaching materials in its catalogue. Before submitting a case to ecch, authors are responsible for testing the case in the classroom and must obtain all necessary permissions and clarify copyright.

Quality standards

Before submitting a finished case for registration in the ecch catalogue, each organisation must certify that it reaches professional quality standards. This also applies to individuals registering cases.

Case testing

ecch registers, in good faith, all cases correctly submitted. There is no panel of referees. Therefore, cases must be comprehensively tested in the classroom before they are submitted, Details of where and when this took place, and in what context, must be provided to ecch on the case registration form.

Preparing your case at ecch

Each submitted case accepted for registration is given a cover sheet bearing its title, author, logo of the author's organisation, its ecch reference number and is prepared in pdf. A master copy, in its final catalogue form, is sent to the author for his or her own use. Where necessary, videos and CD-ROMs are given new covers and labels.

Publicising your case

When the case has been registered, bibliographical details will be entered into the ecch on-line case search database. An inspection copy is posted for potential users to preview. The case is listed in the following month's e-mail update service to several thousand subscribers and included in the next issue of the Case collections update, mailed to in excess of 21,000 recipients worldwide. It will also be listed in the next issue of the quarterly bibliography New cases in management.
