[AISWorld] Call for Case Studies: I-CHRIE Johnson & Wales Case Study compettion

[Marianna Sigala]

Dear colleagues,
 
It is my pleasure to announce the launch of the 3rd edition of this initiative and to cordially invite you to submit your case studies for the 2013 I-CHRIE Johnson & Wales Hospitality & Tourism Case Study Competition & Publications Series.

 

The I-CHRIE Johnson & Wales Hospitality & Tourism Case Study Competition and Publication Series has been running with great success during the last two years. Competition winners have received numerous awards and public recognition, while case studies that are positively evaluated through our peer-review process are published in the Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Cases (JHTC). Interest for the ICHRIE Johnson & Wales Competition and the JHTC is booming with a record number of 31 submissions in 2012. 

 

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 is an ICHRIE publication that 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 electronic journal of I-CHRIE "Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Cases" is published annually and the number of journal issues per year depend on the number of case studies that are accepted for publication each year. 

All case studies submitted to the I-CHRIE Johnson & Wales Hospitality & Tourism 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. 

First Prize is US$1000; Second Prize, US$750; Third Prize, US$500.

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 website
