The hot topic identified by the ecch Executive Committee for the 2012 case writing competition is The Business of Sport. In this Olympic year cases are invited that feature a business situation set within the sporting industry. Relevance to the topic will form part of the judging criteria.
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.
The author(s) of the winning case in each category will receive a single prize of €1,500.
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.
Submissions must have been tested in the classroom, completed after 1 April 2011 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.
