Note: Only the entry forms are due on October 12th, NOT the actual case study you will be submitting. Completed case studies are not due until December 14th.
The entry form information you provide allows us to evaluate your case topic and teaching objectives so that we can provide you with feedback and/or suggestions that you could have time to implement before submitting your case study in December.
Remember that the featured company or organization in your case should be facing a dilemma focused on an impact or relevance for those at the Base-of-the-Pyramid. However, the way in which they are impacted can come from a wide variety of perspectives (or industries) such as telecommunications, finance, social entrepreneurship, operations management, and environmental sustainability, to name just a few.
