The Case Hub Case Writing Competition Call 2024

The Case Hub at the Suliman S. Olayan School of Business, American University of Beirut, is hosting its second annual Case Study Writing Competition. The competition aims to promote impactful case studies and honor the best case study writers about the Arab MENA region and Cyprus.

Business schools around the world host undergraduate and graduate students from various backgrounds. Despite this diversity in the student population, cases used for teaching often include executive protagonists from a small sliver of the population. This lack of representation hinders the ability of learners to relate to the content, and negatively impacts the effectiveness of the material.

The Case Writing Competition seeks to close this learning gap by encouraging authors to create teaching cases staged in the Arab MENA region (Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen) or Cyprus. The competition invites authors from all fields of business management to write cases with primary protagonists from this underrepresented region. The objectives are to encourage the production of high-quality teaching case materials as well as promote capacity building in writing cases about the targeted regions.

Submission Opens	23 April 2024 \| Submit HERE
Deadline for Case Study Submissions	16 September 2024
Announcement of Winners	1 December 2024
Award Ceremony	February 2025 at the Third Case Hub Case Conference
