EFMD is delighted to reveal the winners of the 2021 edition of the Case Writing Competition.
All the participants and winners have showcased incredible efforts and dedication; congratulations to all!
Eric Cornuel, President of EFMD Global, congratulated the 2021 EFMD Case Competition Winners by saying: “Congratulations to all the winners for this outstanding achievement. Every year I am in awe of the quality and excellence of the cases submitted. With a record of 605 submissions in 14 categories, the cases addressed critical topics such as social impact, circular economy, sustainability, inclusivity, and more. Each edition of the competition is a testimonial of the essential role case teaching and writing plays in advocating for a more ethical, purposeful and sustainable tomorrow.”
Richard McCracken, The Case Centre Director, said: “I am always delighted and impressed by the high-quality cases that are submitted to the EFMD Case Writing Competition. This year the bar has been raised even higher, as seen by the number of categories that have co-winners, after the judges were unable decide on one winner. It’s an honour for The Case Centre to support the EFMD Case Writing Competition. Congratulations to all the winners.”
