This initiative aims to support authors, particularly those affiliated with Indian higher education institutions, in creating high-quality cases that reflect emerging market challenges and help amplify their case-writing capabilities.

Entrants have a chance to earn recognition and publication alongside a total prize pool of US $2,000—awarding $1,000 to the winner and $500 to each of two runners-up. Beyond cash rewards, all submissions, whether winning or not, may be considered for publication in the Scopus-indexed Emerging Markets Case Studies collection, providing a valuable platform for global visibility and impact.

Authors are invited to submit compact teaching cases—under 7,000 words, excluding teaching notes—based on real situations encountered by actual Indian companies. At least one of the authors must be affiliated with a higher education institution in India, though international co-authors are welcome. Submissions must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere, and must include a signed consent to publish form from the case’s subject.

To support entrants in crafting compelling submissions, Emerald provides free resources such as webinars, author guidelines, and an online Case Writing Hub, offering insights into crafting effective case studies and teaching notes.

This competition presents a valuable opportunity for practitioners and academics in India to transform real business challenges into impactful teaching tools and gain international exposure. For those eager to shape business education and strengthen their authorial skills, this call offers both an exciting challenge and a powerful platform.
