CALL FOR CASES - ACADEMY OF MANAGMENT
Competitive cases are invited for submission for discussion at the Eighth
Annual Case Critique Colloquium that has been proposed as a Professional
Development Workshop at the 1998 Academy of Management meeting in Chicago.
The Business Policy & Strategy Division, the Managerial Consultation
Division, and the North American Case Research Association have already
indicated they will sponsor this session. It is scheduled for the Saturday
afternoon immediately preceding the regular meeting. Presented cases will
appear in a special Proceedings of this session. At least one author of each
selected case must be present at the session and registered for the Academy
of Management meeting.
Four copies of the completed case and instructor's note should be
submitted to the Colloquium chair no later than 20 April 1999. Authors'
names should not be shown in the case or the instructor's note. Instead a
separate cover page should include a list of the authors, their
affiliations, addresses, telephone & FAX numbers, and e-mail addresses.
Indicate the corresponding author. Cases will be blind reviewed for
inclusion in the session, based on relevance to at least one field of
management and the manner in which they achieve the teaching objectives
set forth in the teaching notes. At least four cases will be selected for
critique by a panel of experts at the session. The panel will critique
the cases considering how they meet the stated objectives, the degree to
which information is available for case analysis, appropriateness and
level of information, as well as writing style and length. The panelists
will also consider what would be necessary to develop the cases for
classroom use, for publishing in a text, or in a journal such as Case
Research Journal.
Cases selected need not necessarily be considered to be in final form, since
the purpose of the colloquium is to critique ongoing development of cases.
They should be more polished that an initial draft, however. The cases
should describe real events in real organizations, although disguised cases
are acceptable. Case authors should have received authorization from
appropriate sources for dissemination of information presented in the case
to outside reviewers. Video and multi media cases are acceptable for
submission. Cases should not have been previously published, nor be under
submission elsewhere.
All cases should be sent to the panel co-chair:
