Case writers are often under recognised in comparison with colleagues of similar stature publishing in refereed journals. So it's always a pleasure and a privilege for ecch to play some part in redressing that imbalance through our annual Case Awards. We took the decision only two years ago that the Awards should reflect our global presence by being open to entries from around the world, so it's such a pleasure to see our winners this year represent thirteen schools, seven countries and four continents.
This year’s Awards demonstrate the widespread excellence in case writing and teaching taking place around the world and the relevance to the current economic climate of subjects being taught. The era of cases originating predominantly in only the historically most well known business schools is past. Relevant and effective cases are being demanded, used – and produced, worldwide.
Congratulations to all our winners and especially to James A Erskine, Michiel R Leenders and Louise A Mauffette-Leenders of the Richard Ivey School of Business who were awarded the Outstanding Contribution to the Case Method award in recognition of their work in bringing the case method to thousands of faculty worldwide through more than 400 case writing and case teaching workshops in more than 50 countries over the past 40 years.
Full details of the Awards may be found here: www.ecch.com/awards2012.
As the Olympics approach, the Hot Topic for next year’s awards is The Business of Sport.
