2019 EFMD Case Writing Competition Winners

Like last year, 17 diverse management-related categories were available to enter, ranging from African Business Cases to Supply Chain Management. More than 550 cases were submitted, showcasing the very best case writing and teaching at schools of business and management worldwide.

Richard McCracken, The Case Centre Director, said: “The cases submitted to the EFMD Case Writing Competition are always of a high standard, and 2019 is no different. The competition rightly highlights the fantastic work being carried out by case authors around the world, and The Case Centre is proud to support that.”

The 2019 success stories include the winners of The Case Centre’s 2020 Outstanding Case Writer Award (TOMTOM: Mapping the Course from B2C to B2B) and Caren Scheepers, the current holder of the Outstanding Contribution to the Case Method prize.

All cases are up-to-date, reflecting social and economic changes from all across the globe yet provide a deep learning and inspiring experience for students.

Congratulations to all winners!
