Call for Cases
Lima, Peru

 

2002 Casewriters program will be held in Lima, Peru

on Sunday, July 7, 2002

 

Submission deadline: April 2, 2002

 

 

The Western Academy of Management will hold its biannual international conference in Lima, Peru July 6 to 10, 2002.   As part of that conference, we will hold a casewriter’s workshop.  IWAM invites you to submit a case; a paper relating to some aspect of casewriting, research, or teaching; or a symposium proposal.  Cases must be accompanied by an instructors’ teaching note.  Cases and papers must not have been presented or published previously or accepted for presentation or publication elsewhere. 

 

We especially encourage you to submit cases related to Latin America.  To date we have had a great deal of interest from Central and South American casewriters and we expect a rich dialogue about teaching and writing cases with Latin emphasis. All submissions will be reviewed by experienced casewriters, with written comments returned to the authors.  Cases related to management, finance, accounting, marketing, strategy, behavior, ethics, law, and other business and management disciplines are welcome.

 

Cases should deal with issues important to your disciplines. They are generally framed around problems facing some decision maker in the organization. The cases may be based on field research or secondary sources but must be entirely factual.

It is preferred that you e-mail your submission to

teri.tompkins@pepperdine.edu.  Your attachment

should be saved in Microsoft Word format.
