Teaching Case Studies

Track Co-Chairs

Description

This track features teaching case studies.  Submissions to the teaching cases track may address any aspect of information systems, although managerial issues in IS comprise the most common domain. The defining characteristics of a good quality IS teaching case are that it describes an interesting, challenging IS issue, or set of issues, based on a real organizational setting, featuring real individuals (which could be camouflaged). Case studies that are based on firsthand accounts from the author’s own original research are preferred. However, case studies based on a large number of publicly available sources such as newspapers, journals, and web sites (including the company’s web site) will also be considered, especially if these sources provide some relevant quotations, include some recent references, and allow for enough detailed description for a useful learning experience.

Submissions should include two distinct components:

  1. the teaching case

  2. the teaching note with accompanying case analysis 

The teaching case should present one or more clear management challenges or decisions to be made so that students can be asked: “what would you do in this situation?” It should be limited to a description of the case situation, organizational background, case issues, and so forth. The case should not include your analysis; these types of comments should be included in the teaching note.

The teaching note should address the management challenges in the case, drawing on whatever literature, analytical tools, and methods you think appropriate. The note should also include other information that might be useful to someone using the case in a classroom context, e.g., potential usage in undergrad or graduate courses, assignment questions, useful web sites, and—when possible—a brief indication (“epilogue”) of what actually happened regarding the issues raised in the case itself.

Authors of accepted teaching cases will be invited to have their submissions published in a special issue of the Journal of Information Technology.  Also, the Communications of the AIS frequently publishes good-quality teaching cases and authors of accepted cases may wish to submit their case study to CAIS for consideration.
