Welcome!

Welcome to the CASE Association!

The CASE Association (CASE, formerly known as the Eastern Case Writers' Association) welcomes you to its web site. CASE is a regional affiliate of the North American Case Association (NACRA) and meets annually in May in conjunction with the Eastern Academy of Management (EAM). This home page is designed to become your gateway to the wonderful world of case writing, teaching, and research, and therefore remains a work in progress (please contact me with any recommendations).

As a developmental organization that advocates case writing and case teaching, we pride ourselves in providing a forum for both novice and seasoned case writers and instructors at both our annual meeting in May and national workshops. These services are also available to any organization on-site for a negotiated fee. We also have a mentoring program where novice faculty are paired up with seasoned veterans -- this program has lead to a number of submissions to our annual conference and our journal.

Our online journal, The CASE Journal, pioneered in October of 2004, includes not only teaching cases but also articles addressing the case method of instruction and research. Our "Professor Moore" continuing case series has addressed such topics as the basics of case writing, obtaining client permissions to release the case, handling reviewer feedback, and case instruction. Full access to the journal is available to members only with cases currently available for use in the classroom through various publishers.

We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at either our annual meeting or our national workshops. If there is anything that we can do to assist you in your research or instruction, please contact me directly at: desplacesd@cofc.edu.
