Case Writing Competitions
The 2012 case writing competition season has begun. International competition organizers such as ecch and efmd are calling for cases. If you wish to enter your cases, please get in touch with us. We are happy to provide whatever help you need.
In the past three years, cases developed by RSM faculty members were entered in various international competitions. “A Grand Entrance? Li Ning’s Emergence as a Global, Chinese Brand” won best strategy case in the 2011 ecch and first prize in the 2010 AESE case writing competitions. “Dow’s Acquisition Program”, “Dwarf Buys Giant: Spyker’s Acquisition of SAAB”, and “RedPack Beach Lockers to Unlock Potentials” were selected as finalists for the 2010 and 2011 Decision Science Institute’s Best Teaching Case Competition. These cases are available at www.ecch.com

The EFMD Excellence in Practice Award attracts case studies describing an effective and impactful Learning and Development intervention. These programmes can be deployed by an organisation (company, public sector, charity etc.) either together with their inhouse L&D organisation or with an external L&D provider. The specific Learning and Development domain in which the intervention is situated can be:
• Leadership Development
• Professional Development
• Talent Development
• Organisation Development
All partners must act as a team and contribute to the case study to ensure a balanced view.
Submission is free if at least one of the applicants is an EFMD member organisation. A small administration fee of 300 Euro will be charged for non-members applicants. Winning cases will be featured extensively across the EFMD network and published in the Emerald Group Publishing "Strategic Direction" journal.
