Competition status: Open

Publication: Emerging Markets Case Studies
We invite authors based at African or Middle Eastern higher education institutions, including Türkiye and Pakistan, to submit business teaching cases focused on emerging markets in their region. Participants can win up to $1,000 and have their case study published globally.
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 in Africa, the Middle East, Türkiye, and Pakistan. At the same time, we also seek to promote the development of case-writing capabilities with those same regions.
Partnerships
Emerald is pleased to partner with the El-Khazindar Business Research and Case Center at the American University in Cairo to deliver this competition.
Award and publication
The total prize pool is worth $2,000, including $1,000 to the winner and $500 each to two runners up!
Please note that the prize will only be payable to the winning submissions if those submissions are successfully published. The decision to publish submissions will be made at our discretion and there may be occasions where we cannot publish a winning submission because of issues that arise during peer review or the revisions process.
Non-winning submissions will also be considered for publication and we will be in touch with you should we wish to take your non-winning submission forward for publication in the Scopus-indexed Emerging Market Case Studies (EMCS) collection.
Though we are an international publisher, we must comply with all current economic sanctions within the United Kingdom. This may impact our ability to pay authors from restricted countries. Please know, however, that these submissions are still welcome and given all due consideration. If you are concerned about what this might mean for your submission should it go on to win the competition, please contact us.
