We are delighted to announce the winners of our 35th annual Awards and Competitions, celebrating excellence in case writing and teaching at schools of business, management and government worldwide.
“As businesses face increasing pressure to integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations, this year’s award-winning cases equip the next generation of leaders with the knowledge and skills to navigate complex sustainability challenges.
“By highlighting key topics like sustainability, the awards underscore the crucial role business education plays in preparing students to address global challenges. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, the case method remains an invaluable tool for developing students’ critical thinking, decision-making, and ethical judgment - skills that AI cannot replicate.”
Congratulations to all our winners! We hope you enjoy finding out more about them.
