This year’s workshop will be offered in a hybrid format.
Participants are invited to attend live in Nashville at Lipscomb University or virtually via Zoom.
As with past workshops, this year’s event will be a great opportunity for you to receive feedback from other case writers about your cases, critical incidents, and embryo cases.
Case Writers Bootcamp | Monday, July 19, 2021
Immediately preceding the regular workshop
Ledby instructors with years of experience as case writers and editors of case journals, the Case Writers Bootcamp will help those new to case study research and writing (as well as those wanting a “refresher” on the subject!) refine their ideas into case studies that can be effectively used in the
classroom and pass through the peer-review process toward publication in case journals.
Although we welcome submissions of any sort usually associated with case studies and case teaching, given the current challenges facing our society today, we would like to specifically invite work on the theme of operating in a time of crisis and pandemic. Case studies, critical incidents, case embryos (case ideas in the earliest stages of development), as well as panel discussions, on responses to crisis and challenge will be of particular interest. Also, because so many of us have had to abruptly switch to working remotely (through technologies such as Zoom), work on case research,
writing, and teaching in the current environment will also be welcome.
The workshop registration fee is $90, which covers activities from July 19 through July 21, and your one-year membership in SCR. The Case Writers Bootcamp on Monday, July 19, is an additional $10.
Priority Due Date - June 25 Submissions made by this date will be scheduled into review sessions. Authors will be assigned reviewing assignments.
Late Submission Deadline - July 12 Submissions made by this date will be scheduled into review sessions based on space and reviewer availability. Authors will be assigned reviewing assignments.
Please visit ignited.global to register for the workshop and submit your cases, critical incidents, and case embryos here.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Andy Borchers.
Journal of Critical Incidents Submission Deadline: May 31, 2021 The Journal of Critical Incidents does not publish long cases. JCI's focus is on brief incidents that tell about real situations. Each incident tells a story about an event, an experience, a blunder, or a success. Unlike long cases, incidents provide only essential historical details and limited situation development. Instead, each incident provides a focal point that stimulates students to arrive at a course of action or
analysis. Most incidents are decision-oriented but well-written descriptive incidents are possible. Quantitatively oriented incidents need to include questions that require judgment.

Providence College School of Business and Ph.D. Project Virtual Case Writing Workshop June 14 & June 24, 2021
The Providence College School of Business and the Ph.D. Project invite you to a two-session virtual case writing workshop on June 14 (3-5 pm Eastern Daylight Time) and June 24 (3-6 pm Eastern Daylight Time).
Motivated by the need for
more diversity representation in business school curricula, and especially in business school cases, participants will hear from journal editors about how to source ideas and material for cases, about case publishing and about the importance of case teaching notes. AACSB staff will discuss the role case publishing can play in AACSB standards for faculty qualification and for impact. An interactive case “hackathon” will help you flesh out a case idea and develop a project plan for writing and submitting a case for publication.
