It is a law of nature that human history is continuously moving forward. There are, however, many treacherous currents and rapids encountered from time to time. This spring has witnessed the resurgence of COVID-19 in China, which has created a speed bump in our work and life. Each of us is a witness to this complex situation. We all share in the anxiety and confusion of the crisis and seek hope under pressure. We are deeply concerned about every member of the CEIBS community and profoundly grateful for the contributions of every helping hand.

The CEIBS Italian Alumni Chapter met in person at a special alumni workshop on Building and Leading High-Performance Teams and Cultures this week.

As part of efforts to promote best practices and innovations in MBA case teaching, the Shanghai MBA Education Steering Committee (as host) and Shanghai MBA Education Steering Committee’s Panel on Case Development and CEIBS (as organizer) have revealed the winners of the 4th Shanghai MBA Case Teaching Competition, with support from Shanghai Academic Degrees Office and Shanghai MBA Education Steering Committee. Some 80% of entrants used their own self-developed cases for the contest. The committee handed out two First Prizes and four Second Prizes following a rigorous screening process that included institution recommendations, expert reviews and final approval from the Shanghai MBA Education Steering Committee.

To further promote teaching and research of management issues relevant to a Chinese business context, the Steering Committee of the Shanghai MBA Case Development and Sharing Platform is pleased to announce the launch of the 2022 Global Contest for the Best China-Focused Cases. The contest is open to case developers both inside and outside China.

The contest particularly welcomes those cases that examine China-focused issues from a global perspective together with high-quality, in-depth teaching notes that incorporate theoretical analyses and/or best practices in their focal areas. During the past seven years, the contest has welcomed 1,679 cases by more than 2,000 authors from over 300 schools and institutions in China and around the world. A wealth of high-quality cases emerged from the contest and 770 submissions met the acceptance criteria of ChinaCases.Org, 77 of which proceeded to win awards. By focusing on the latest management issues, these cases have ignited intense discussions and enriched classroom teaching, and ultimately inspiring and changing management practices (learn more about our past winners at http://www.chinacases.org).

A case written by CEIBS Professor of Finance and Accounting Oliver Rui and senior case researcher Qiong Zhu has won the best case award in the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) category of the EFMD’s 2021 Case Writing Competition.
