Emerald and real impact
Emerald are committed to the support of
meaningful real world impact, aiming to go far beyond the publishing and dissemination of
academic research enabling communities to join together to make changes of real significance. We have created a dedicated corporate social
responsibility group within the business focused on reducing Emerald¡¯s impact on the
environment and increasing its impact on our stakeholder¡¯s lives. An important aspect of this
is to help advance the global standard of business and management education. As part of
this we started published teaching cases in 2011 aimed at business schools creating responsible
managers of the future.
Supporting the case method
Part of our broader aspirations within the Cases
programme are to create a community of teaching faculty who can combine their efforts
to help establish truly ¡®impactful¡¯ cases content, discussing how learning materials are best
utilised to create impactful classroom
experiences. The case method is one of the most established
teaching methodologies in both under-graduate and post-graduate programmes and viewed as a
constructive way in which students can get access to the types of scenarios and challenges
they will face in the world of business. We
appreciate adoption and understanding of the
case method varies regionally and we are
committed to supporting its implementation through robust review processes, nurturing
authors throughout the submission process and
providing support materials for teaching in the
classroom.
This is true of all case products available from
Emerald: Emerging Markets Case Studies (EMCS): Over
690 cases authored by academics specializing in
developing economies
The CASE Journal (TCJ): A collection of more
than 200 cases, endorsed by The CASE Association in the United States, providing a
modern interpretation of discussion-based
teaching
The eCase Collection: Over 1,600 cases
comprising all content within EMCS & TCJ and
cases licenced from leading business schools
Focusing on rising economies
With the launch of Emerging Markets Case
Studies (EMCS) in May 2011 we established a
purpose to provide a voice and support for
authors whose expertise is underrepresented in
global case dissemination, with a focus on rising
economy markets. The approach of local insight
with global relevance also provides students
with authentic examples of organizational challenges within rising economy markets, and
inspire strategies designed to tackle the
business problems of the future. Each case is accompanied by complimentary teaching notes,
the importance of which is explained by the
editor of Emerging Markets Case Studies,
Michael Goldman:
¡°We want to focus on outcomes¡¦ learning
outcomes. The real idea of creating these
teaching cases is to make learning come alive, to
make it more engaging for students. So we want
to think about the structuring of our learning
outcomes, what kind of frameworks we are
employing and how we strengthen that especially
through the teaching note (or what is sometimes
known as the instructors manual).¡±
