For Case Writers - and Prospective Case Writers
Tenth Annual International Casewriters’ Workshop & Casewriters’ Colloquium

Designed to assist novice and experienced case writers to write, improve and publish their cases,
WACRA 2000 June 17-20, 2001 in Lund, Sweden will feature the Tenth International WACRA®
Casewriters' workshop and Casewriters' Colloquium.  Case writers - and prospective case writers are
invited to participate and to submit cases and/or contribute to the interactive sessions at Lund
University, Lund, Sweden.

Casewriters' Colloquium: Cases, including  teaching notes (TN) are submitted to the Colloquium Director
for a double blind peer review for acceptance.  Accepted cases are sent in advance to a panel of expert
case writers, case book authors, and all other participants who signed  up for the colloquium.  Each case
is discussed by the panel and other participants.   You will see the case editing and improvement process
developed and you will assist in perfecting the refereed cases presented.  The format is interactive and
lively; everyone’s contribution is welcome and solicited, regardless of previous experience.   This year,
cases are solicited from all business disciplines, education, medical education, law, social work and other
disciplines which use case discussion.

Casewriters' Workshop: This  activity is primarily for casewriters with some research experience. This
workshop follows a format similar to the colloquium, except that other casewriters whose cases are being
presented are the expert panel.

Submission: Submit four copies of your case before January 15, 2001.  Include (at least) the rudiments
of a TN.  Submission implies that at least one author will attend the meeting and present the case.   To
facilitate the double blind review the authors' names should appear on a cover page only.  From outside
the U.S.A. please use airmail.  Authors should note that colloquium and workshop are pre-conference
activities (Sunday) and have separate registration

Requirements: Cases which still need improvement are solicited.  Cases should describe real
organizations and may be disguised.  The author's analysis belongs in the TN which provides users with
a brief case description, suggested course application, teaching objectives, teaching questions and
answers.  A discussion section is helpful and may include an extended analysis.  Case outcomes may also
be included. To obtain an information packet and other details please contact:
