WACRA® conferences are interdisciplinary multinational forums for
scholars in the disciplines and professional fields (such as business,
communication, education, engineering, history, law, medicine, psychology,
public policy, social work) and practitioners in business and industry,
education and government.
Papers are solicited that analyze theory and practice
using cases, simulations, videos and related instructional methods for problem
solving, managing change and innovation. Priority will be given to papers that
are interdisciplinary, international, and/or comparative. Papers reporting the application
of cases in university and professional training programs in diverse settings
and papers on the evaluation of the case method and its related forms
for teaching and learning are encouraged. Contributions investigating challenges
(and suggesting solutions) faced by business are also solicited. Proposals for case writing &
development and actual cases placed in diverse settings are invited, e.g.
joint-cross-cultural cases. While a main focus of the WACRA conferences is on
using cases for teaching and problem-solving, scholarly papers that report
research using the case method are welcome.
