CEEMAN case writing competition
We are delighted to announce that the 26th CEEMAN/Emerald case writing competition is now open.
The aim of the competition is to encourage and promote the development of high-quality teaching case material relevant to the realities of dynamic and emerging economies and at the same time promote the development of case-writing capabilities in those countries.
In the spirit of a fully inclusive competition, we encourage global submissions. The co-organisers will support global exposure of the submitted high-quality cases through a direct link with the Emerald Emerging Markets Case Studies collection (EMCS), a growing collection of case studies with teaching notes. All case submissions will be considered for international publication in EMCS.
Feedback
We are pleased to offer feedback to authors of cases submitted to this competition early. If you submit your case before 19 April, you will receive some feedback from the judges of the competition, and be able to revise and resubmit your case before 7 June for final judging. Please note the early feedback will be brief, general comments on the focus of your case/teaching notes that will help you improve for the competition and is not full double-blind peer review. You will receive in-depth feedback once your case is submitted for peer review in EMCS.
