Founded in 1984, WACRA® evolved from contacts between professors,
researchers, policy-makers, professionals and business executives into
a worldwide, interdisciplinary organization of professionals and academics
from fifty countries. The organizations's objectives are to advance the
use of the case method in teaching, training, and planning; to encourage
research using the case method; to coordinate case writing and case application
activities; and to encourage cooperation between the public sector, the
business community, and other case-oriented professions. Its initial focus
on the case method has broadened to include games and simulations and other
interactive learning and teaching methods as corollaries to cases.
WACRA® organizes forums, symposia, workshops, training sessions,
and conferences, including an annual international meeting at which participants
have the opportunity to exchange ideas, present their research, and share
the results of case writing and case method applications. Previous conference
sites have included Lausanne, Switzerland; London, UK; Enschede, Netherlands;
Boston, U.S.A., Berlin, Germany; Limerick, Ireland; Bratislava, Slovakia
& Vienna Austria; Montreal, Canada; Leysin, Switzerland; Warsaw, Poland;
Edinburgh, Scotland; Marseille-Provence, France, 1998. The 1999
conference will be hosted by the University
of Extremadura in Cáceres, Spain. For the year 2000 (July) it
is planned to begin the (pre-) conference in Munich, Germany and travel
by train on the tracks of the famous Orient Express via Vienna,
Austria (overnight stop in Vienna) to Budapest, Hungary. The main conference
will take place at the Central European University in Budapest. WACRA®
2001 will be the first three country WACRA® conference: activities
are planned to take place in Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
You are cordially invited to join WACRA®,
participate in all activities, to share your expertise and experiences
and to learn with colleagues from around the world. Membership is open

of the association. You can receive training and assistance in case writing.
