The workshop, in its 21st year, is hosted by the Walker L. Cisler College of Business. It is scheduled for July 15-17. The workshop is held each summer to bring together authors and potential authors of corporate case studies to be used for instructional purposes. The two-day affair allows participants to work in small group sessions, discussing and critiquing the cases. There is an emphasis on helping each author to strengthen his or her case, preparing it for publication or use in the classroom.
Case studies are the written evaluations of extensive field research in various areas of business.
Participants attending the meeting represent diverse areas of study. There will be more than 50 cases presented and discussed at the conference. The closing session is scheduled for July 17. The Society for Case Research is an international organization that provides programs for the exchange of ideas and the improvement of case research, writing and teaching.
