The Case Centre Connect Issue 43, January 2020
padding

Dear colleague

Welcome to the January issue of Connect!

Boeing in America is 2020’s first featured case, looking at raw material supply chain risks and appropriate strategies to mitigate them.

In the next featured case, Gucci is trying to place greater emphasis on its commitment to sustainability.

Next, at Alibaba, charismatic executive chairman, Jack Ma, is stepping down and handing the reigns to a more pragmatic choice in Daniel Zhang.

The final case investigates how Médecins Sans Frontières dealt with the 2014 Ebola outbreak crisis in West Africa.

Elsewhere in Connect, we look ahead to the second #WorldCaseTeachingDay next month on 5 February 2020, and our new website which launches later this year.

Also, Ken Grant of the Ted Rogers School of Business Management, is the latest ‘5 minutes with…’ participant.

Best wishes
The Case Centre team

“Recently, at Hong Kong Airport, I met an IMD alumnus who had studied at IMD some 20 years ago and who could still remember a case I had used in one of my marketing classes! I doubt that a lecture would have had the same impact.” – Dominique Turpin, IMD business school. Discover more.

“A good case is remembered by students for many years after they have participated in the discussion. A good case author should have curiosity in observing events and be able to identify links to key concepts.” – G.V. Muralidhara, IBS Bangalore. Read more.
