Call for Teaching Cases

General information

We invite submissions for teaching cases to be presented at the 11th EurOMA Sustainability Forum. Although teaching cases are still not widely used globally, they are a powerful tool to stimulate group work in class by developing exercises or serious games based on real organizations’ successes, failures, or strategic decision-making to prepare future managers for the business world. The purpose of teaching cases is to highlight the educational mission of teachers-researchers. Teaching cases also promote the ability to disseminate scientific knowledge and good practices of organizations to learners.

We invite researchers to contribute to enhancing teaching cases on sustainable operations and supply chains based on the following two formats:

    1. Full teaching cases
    2. Draft teaching cases

Submissions for teaching cases should include

    1. Title of the teaching case
    2. Target group (e.g., Bachelor, Master, Executive)
    3. Type of organization addressed in the case: name and characteristics of the organization studied (e.g., firm, public sector, association, NGO)
    4. Type of teaching case:
      1. Case based on a partnership with an organization (use of primary data)
      2. Anonymous case but based on a partnership with an organization
      3. Case based on public data, without explicit consent of the organization
    5. Type of data available (e.g., interview transcripts, videos, reports)
    6. If the case has been tested in a lecture (yes/no)
    7. An abstract including context, purpose, sustainability-related topic, the main problem, theoretical lens (if applicable), and learning outcomes for the students.
    8. How to use the case: Please explain in a few sentences how the teaching case should be used in class (questions asked to students, sessions (teaching hours) and outlines, use of the provided data and tools, applicable theories to explain the case)

Selected cases will be presented by their author(s) during the conference in sessions specifically tailored to the discussion of innovative teaching approaches.

Format and submission

For full teaching cases: Please submit no more than 20 pages (e.g., ten pages for the case and ten pages for the teaching note).

For draft teaching cases: Please submit no more than 10 pages (e.g., five pages for the case and five pages for the teaching notes).

Please send your teaching case to: euroma_sustainability@the-klu.org.
