Publication: Emerging Markets Case Studies
Emerald Publishing and The International Association for Management Development in Dynamic Societies (CEEMAN) welcome high-quality teaching cases to this joint case writing competition.
The aim of the competition is to develop case material relevant to dynamic and emerging economies and to nurture case-writing capabilities in those countries. We encourage global submissions.
Award and publication
The total award prize fund is €4,000, including €2,500 for the winner. Prizes are also awarded to two runners-up.
Additional funding for scholarships may also be available.
We also consider all submissions for international publication in Scopus-ranked Emerging Market Case Studies (EMCS).
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.
