 NACRA 2009 Annual Meeting Call for Cases
Eligible Cases
Cases may deal with any topic in any academic discipline where dynamic
classroom discussion is useful. Cases must be original work based on
real events, real people, and real organizations, and must not have
been previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere, either
in journals or books. Submitted cases may also not be under simultaneous
review for other conferences or publications. Cases presented in other
workshops may be submitted only if they have been substantially revised
since that presentation; authors should describe the case’s previous
history in their submittal letter.
Typically, cases are submitted in most of the business functional
areas. But cases are invited and encouraged from other areas and disciples,
including but not limited to education, social work, and healthcare
issues (e.g., management, ethics, policy). If you not sure which track
chair to submit your case to, then contact Armand
Gilinsky.
Author Responsibility to Participate
If accepted, the submission must be presented. In consideration of
having a submission reviewed for the conference, you are committing
to having at least one author attend and participate in the roundtable
discussions or paper/symposia presentation.
Each case must be presented by at least one author who participates
in both the Friday and Saturday morning roundtable sessions. Also,
no more than two cases may be presented in the same track by the same
author.
Submission Instructions
Submissions should be sent by email attachment to the appropriate track
chair by Monday, July 20, 2009 (extended from June 15).
Include one file with the cover page, submission form, and case
summary or paper abstract. Include the case and instructor’s
manual (IM) or paper submission in a separate file that does not
contain any information identifying the authors. Symposia proposals
may be sent in a single file.
Each case submission should include the following. Submit your case
to only one Track Chair, indicating
in your submittal letter if you feel it may be appropriate for other
tracks. Contact Armand
Gilinsky only if your case does not seem to fit one of the tracks listed.
- Cover page showing names, affiliations and contact information
for all authors, and identifying the contact person for all correspondence.
Student authors should be identified as such on the cover page.
- Submission form (in MSWord, also available in PDF) attesting to
the case's originality and the right to publish the abstract.
- One-page summary of
the case for the Proceedings, following prescribed format. It
is important that you follow the proper format as described here.
- Case and Instructor's Manual (IM), also known
as the "teaching note." Please see the format
requirements for this item.
Paper submissions for the “Teaching with Cases” or “Case
Research for Theory Building and Testing” tracks may vary in
length, but should be submitted with a separate one-page abstract. Symposia
proposals for these tracks are limited to two pages and should
include program participants by name and affiliation, and time allotment
requested. Ideas for proposals may be discussed with the program chair.
