Case writing competition: The Case for Women
In partnership with The Case for Women and Forté, we have launched a case study competition focused on the female case protagonist. Entries are now open for September 2020, find out more about how to submit your case.

Women in case studies

The aim of the competition is to encourage and promote the development of high-quality teaching case material which positively represents real women in leadership positions in the workplace.

Having 10 years of research on award-winning case papers, Lesley Symons of The Case for Women showed that women protagonists are present in only 11% of award-winning case papers. She developed the Symons Test which is used to assess the presence of women in case papers:
·         Does it have a woman in it?
·         Is she the protagonist?
·         Does she speak to another woman about the business?

Only 4% of the case papers researched met all three of the rules.

The award

The total prize fund for the collection is $10,000. Prizes are awarded to the overall winner and two runners-up.
