[AISWorld] Call for Case Studies

"Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Cases"


CALL FOR CASE STUDIES



It is my pleasure to announce the launch of the ICHRIE electronic journal titled "Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Cases". This e-journal is a new ICHRIE publication that aims to fill in the publication gap for case studies in the tourism and hospitality sectors. Case studies provide innovative ideas, business (best) practices, professional dilemmas, and lessons learned from the tourism and hospitality reality. Hence, cases are an invaluable source of knowledge for educators, professionals and researchers alike. In this vein, the "Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Cases" is the first peer-reviewed publication in tourism and hospitality that aims to act as:

  a.. a clearinghouse providing educators with valuable case studies to enrich their educational and instruction methods; 
  b.. an internationally recognised publication outlet offering researchers the opportunity to publish their research work; 
  c.. a new added-value service of ICHRIE to its members; 
  d.. an additional important contribution of ICHRIE to tourism & hospitality education and research.
The electronic journal of I-CHRIE "Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Cases" will be published annually and the number of journal issues per year would depend on the number of case studies that are accepted for publication each year. All case studies submitted to the journal are double-blind reviewed by three reviewers. 


The case studies may focus on any topic and subject area (e.g. marketing, information systems, finance, e-commerce etc.) related to the tourism & hospitality industry. Case studies may be compiled from field research, published sources and/or generalized experience. Case studies do not have to follow a specific structure. However, each case study is expected to include sections related to the following topics: a) a background of the subject organisation and/or of the topic; b) an analysis of the dilemma and/or the teaching objective; c) a section explaining the questions and dilemmas of the case study; d) related bibliography and additional reading.


The case studies must be of maximum 5,000 words excluding figures, tables, annexes and bibliography. Each case study submission must be accompanied by a teaching note for which there is no world limit (although a teaching note of a minimum of 1,000 words is expected). The case studies and the teaching note will be evaluated against three criteria: content, theoretical underpinning, and presentation. Case studies must adhere and follow the submission guidelines of case study writing.





For more information about the submission guidelines, the review process and the ethical/legal requirements for submitting case studies, please visit the website

Author(s) wishing to submit a case study for publication consideration in the 2012 issue(s) of the "Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Cases" can submit their case study until the 30th of June 2012. 



If you require further information and/or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Looking forward to receiving your case studies and thank you in advance for your valuable support to this great new initiative.

With my best regards,


Dr Marianna Sigala

Editor of the "Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Cases"
