Dear colleagues, 

Don't Forget to Submit to the
ICHRIE Johnson & Wales Case Study Competition
& Publication Series, Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Cases

CALL FOR CASE STUDIES

The 2011 ICHRIE Johnson & Wales Case Study Competition and Publication Series was a great success with the publication of seven (7) case studies of significant interest, numerous awards and public recognition to the authors of the best three wining case studies.

It is my pleasure to announce the launch of the 2nd edition of this initiative and to cordially invite you to submit your case studies for the 2012 ICHRIE Johnson & Wales Case Study Competition & Publications Series.

Worthy case studies submitted to the competition will be peer-reviewed and considered for publication in the newly established ICHRIE electronic journal titled, Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Cases. This e-journal aims to fill in the publication gap for case studies in tourism and hospitality. 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 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 ICHRIE's electronic journal, 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.

For more information please visit the website of the JHTC at http://www.chrie.org/publications/jhtc/index.aspx whereby you can also download the first isse of JHTC (CHRIE membership or journal registration fee is required). 

All case studies submitted to the ICHRIE Johnson & Wales Case Study Competition are double-blind reviewed by three reviewers. The three most highly evaluated and commented case studies will receive prestigious (financial and material) prizes as well as public recognition and promotion in the annual ICHRIE conference and other promotional material.

The case studies may focus on any topic and subject area related to the tourism & hospitality education and 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 competition rules, the type and amount of the awards/prizes, the evaluation criteria and the ethical/legal requirements for submitting case studies, please visit the ICHRIE website at http://www.chrie.org/membership/case-study-competition/index.aspx.

The deadline for submitting case studies to the ICHRIE Johnson & Wales Case Study Competition is the 8th April 2012.

Author(s) wishing to submit a case study ONLY 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.

This is your opportunity to contribute to tourism & hospitality education as well as publish and be rewarded for your efforts. 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
