AABS/Emerald Case Competition 2010
Cash prizes for outstanding case studies
Emerald is proud to work with the Association of African Business Schools (AABS) on the AABS/Emerald Case Competition 2010. Cash prizes will be awarded to the three outstanding submissions. All case studies should be suitable for use in management education and should be related to managerial issues faced by organisations and individuals.
The AABS/Emerald Case Competition is taking on a new form in 2010. It will be in two phases:
Phase 1
Those who submit their cases and teaching notes by the 15 January 2010 will receive feedback on their cases by mentors assigned by Emerald. Authors will receive their feedback by the 15 February 2010.
Phase 2
Entries for the actual case competition will open on 15 February 2010 and close on 1 April 2010. Entries may be submitted by those who did not submit cases to Phase 1 for mentoring.
The Winner will be announced at the AABS Annual meeting on the 4-5 May 2010 and will have an opportunity to present their case at the AABS Researching the Practice of Management Conference in September 2010.
