Mission The CASE Association views is a developmental organization. Our mission is to foster case research, writing and instruction; an approach that is "inclusive" rather than "exclusive." We strive to help case writers (particularly beginners and potential beginners) understand more about improving their initial efforts at case research. Our interest in cases is in the developmental process. For our conferences, we look for cases in progress, NOT perfect publishable cases. We believe it is better to learn about cases by studying their flaws than by trying to learn from fully developed and completed cases. A conference submission that does not require revision may be rejected from the conference. We expect even the most developed cases considered by The CASE Association to undergo further significant revision before being submitted for publication in The CASE Journal. The CASE Association's conference VIP panels and "embryo" roundtables aim to help both the authors of cases discussed and those in attendance to better understand what should be in a good case and its teaching note; by demonstrating the editorial process at work. Our proceedings contains not only the original case submitted but all the reviews pertaining to that case as well. The cases are then discussed in open session with a view to identifying strengths, weaknesses and ways of improving the case for "publication" and instruction.
