"This year’s Awards and Competitions have uncovered a new wave of successful case educators emerging after the disruption of the pandemic. The results signal renewal in business education, right across the globe. Cases are now demonstrably being written and taught to a competitively high standard of excellence and social relevance at an ever-broader spectrum of schools worldwide.

"At a time when many flagship international awards are making headlines because of a lack of diversity, this year’s global Case Awards and Competitions signal a huge step forward, not only in terms of gender but they also evidence ethnic diversity, which will impact positively on business and management pedagogy across the world."

Vicky Lester, Chief Executive Officer of The Case Centre

Congratulations to all our winners! We hope you enjoy finding out more about them.

The Case Centre’s global Awards and Competitions 2023 are characterised by new talent, with 30 of the 35 winning individuals (86%) winning their first award or competition.

The 33rd Awards and Competitions also see an unprecedented number of female case writers and teachers achieving success. 14 (80%) of the total 17 successes in the awards and competitions include at least one female educator. 16 of the 35 total individual laureates (46%) are now women, and 15 of those 16 win for the first time. 

Two category awards were won for cases with single-authors - both women. Suchitra Mohanty, Amity Research Centers, Amity University won the Economics, Politics and Business Environment category award, and Sophie Manigart, Vlerick Business School, the Entrepreneurship category.

The 2023 Awards and Competitions also reflect the increasing number of cases with women protagonists. Traditionally the vast majority of cases have a male protagonist. Five winning cases feature a woman as the main protagonist, seven a man, and three a company/sector.
