AESE 2nd Case Writing Competition


Since its foundation 30 years ago, AESE has exclusively used case method teaching in its programmes. The cases initially used were from foreign countries, but gradually these have been replaced by cases written in Portugal mostly featuring Portuguese companies.

The school promotes its second Case Writing Competition with the intent of rewarding the quality of written cases, a value that is associated not only to the actual writing of the case, but also and mainly, to its pedagogical usefulness and relevance. As one of the key aspects in coping with structural changes in the economy, the ability of companies to change their strategy 'Strategies for Change' is the theme for this years competition.

There will be a first and a second prize of €1000 and €500 respectively.
