 NACRA
2009 Annual Meeting Awards
Authors should indicate on the Case Submission
Form if they are eligible for any of the following awards.
- The Outstanding Student-Authored Case Award is
awarded to the student author and the faculty supervisor for the
best student-written case as presented at the NACRA annual meeting.
To be considered for the best student case award, no faculty member
may be included as co-author. However, such cases should list the
faculty supervisor(s), if any, on the cover page. The faculty supervisors
may be included as co-author if the case is revised and submitted
to the Case Research Journal if the authors so choose. Track Chairs
nominate cases (complete with instructor’s manual/teaching
note) which are then judged by a committee chaired by the president-elect.
- The Outstanding Newcomer Case Award is awarded
to the best case as presented at a roundtable by an author attending
his or her (or their) first NACRA annual meeting. Track Chairs nominate
cases (complete with instructor’s manual/teaching note) which
are then judged by a committee chaired by the president-elect.
- The Ruth Greene Memorial Case Award is awarded
to the best case as submitted by authors outside the U.S. and Canada
and presented at that year’s annual NACRA meeting. The award
includes a stipend to cover the registration to the conference. Track
Chairs nominate cases (complete with instructor’s manual/teaching
note) which are then judged by a committee chaired by the president-elect.
The award is sponsored by Walt Greene, who is always one of the members
of the committee.
- The Emerson Center Award for Outstanding Case in Business
Ethics is awarded to the best case in business ethics

Decision focused cases are preferred. Submissions must include

Research
Journal

or co-author of a nominated case. The award is presented the following

award also includes two honorable mentions - each worth $500. Decision
focused cases are preferred. However, cases must deal with issues
faced by a company’s board of directors, such as transparency
in governance, governance structures, corporate investment and
disclosure, shareholder and shareholder relations, accountability,
privacy and security, executive and board compensation, roles and
responsibilities of board committees, director independence, effective
board management relations, board recruitment, role of the board
chair or lead director, proxy voting, and stock options. Submissions
must include an instructor’s manual/teaching note and follow
NACRA’s Call for Cases. Judging is a blind review process
conducted by a three-member committee. The committee is composed

- The C. R. Christensen Outstanding Teaching Case Award is
awarded to a case submitted to the NACRA Education Track for presentation
to the annual meeting, revised, and submitted to the Case Research
Journal. The award carries a prize of up to $1,000. Cases to be considered
focus on the teaching process, pedagogical issues, and intra/extra
classroom incidents in the tradition reflected in the work of C.
R. Christensen. The judging committee is composed of three NACRA
members appointed by the current president of NACRA. The recipient
is expected to participate in a discussion of the case at the C.
R. Christensen Teaching Session, a plenary session at the annual
NACRA meeting the following Fall. The dollar amount of this award
depends on fund availability and on the participation of the participant
in the session. The award is supported by donations and by a grant
from the E. M. Kauffman Foundation. The case and its instructor's
manual/teaching note should be submitted electronically via Word
e-mail attachment to the Editor of the CRJ by March 15. The award

- All
cases presented will also be eligible for the Best Workshop
Case Awards: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. These are awarded to
the top three cases presented at each year’s case workshop. Track
Chairs will nominate a case for the Best Workshop Case from their
track based on reviewer recommendations and their own review of the cases
accepted
for the track. If there are more than ten cases accepted for the
track, two cases could be nominated (more than 30 cases accepted, three
cases
could be nominated). A Track Chair does not have to nominate a
case if no cases are accepted that appear to be worthy of the nomination.
A Track
Chair cannot nominate his or her own case (or co-authored case)
in the year that he or she serves as a Track Chair. The President-elect
will
serve as chair of the “as presented” awards committee comprised
of no less than three members, none of whom will be track chairs
(who have nominated the cases).
