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
