Baylor Entrepreneurship Student Case Writing Competition

Focus of Cases

The Baylor Entrepreneurship Student Case Writing Competition is an innovative international event that supports and encourages undergraduate and graduate students from across the globe who wish to engage in case research and case writing. Submitted cases are suitable if they advance the field of entrepreneurship, broadly defined, and contribute to our understanding of entrepreneurial phenomena. Submitted cases must not have been previously published nor submitted for review to a conference, book, or journal. These cases must be original, and their focus can include, but is not limited to, the following:

  • New Venture Creation
  • International Entrepreneurship
  • Small Business Management
  • Family-Owned Businesses
  • Minority and Gender Issues in Small Business and Entrepreneurship
  • Venture Financing
  • Corporate Entrepreneurship
  • Marketing in Small Businesses and Entrepreneurial Ventures
  • The Launch and Development of Social Enterprises

A case can address issues in a firm of any size, so long as the thrust of that issue is entrepreneurial in nature. Submitted cases may feature firms or enterprises from any industry, and issues studied can encompass a firm's operations overall or a specific function within that enterprise.

Author Responsibility

With the submission of a case, at least one of the author(s) and a faculty supervisor agree to attend the competition if the case is accepted for presentation. No more than 4 students may be the authors of a single case. Students may have already graduated when their case is submitted, but they must have been enrolled as a student when they wrote the case. Multiple student cases may be submitted from an individual school.
Instructions for Submission

The competition will be held in January of 2013 at the USASBE Conference. The deadline for submissions is September 7, 2012. Authors should submit one file containing the submission form and an abstract of the case (following the guidelines presented to the right). In another file, the case and its related instructor's manual should be submitted with all names of authors and organizational affiliates deleted. Cases should be limited to 20 pages excluding exhibits; and the cases, abstracts, and instructor's manuals should be submitted as a Word file. Please email your submissions to EntCWC@baylor.edu.
