Section # 1
Dear Global Business Scholars: Hi
Ref: Invitation to Develop a
Global Case on Your Native Country’s Global Company
- I am pleased to invite members of AIB’s
Global Family to develop a Case for
publication in a Monographic Case Book to be published by Routledge (Taylor
and Francis).
- Your Case must be 20
page single spaced long (not more and not less) on any company of your
choice headquartered in your native country, that is attempting to build
its global brand on the global stage.
- This AGBA’s Monographic
Case Book is designed to support the world-class scholarship of emerging
scholars based across emerging countries.
- Only two co-authors (at
a max) are allowed for each Case.
- Only
One Case is allowed per author.
- Only One Case is allowed
per Country.
- Monograph would have 30
cases encompassing 30 emerging countries.
- A Case published by Harvard
Business School on a similar theme would be shared with prospective
authors for benchmarking purposes.
It would spell out (as a sample) (i) global issues, (ii) writing style and
(iii) format; how to develop your own case.
- Your Case must focus on
your chosen company’s Global Branding Model, strategy,
focus, vision, mission, objectives, growth trajectory, success story, and
the lessons learned during the course of its global brand building
exercise.
- You are also requested
to develop a 5 Page Teaching Note about your Case. This teaching
note would not be published in the proposed Monographic Case Book.
- However, AGBA’s Global
Secretariat located at the Millikin University (USA) would keep it on
file to share it with those global professors who would like to use your
case in their BBA/MBA courses across the world.
- It is a Teaching Case.
- Objective of Your Case
is to teach Decision-Making Skills to MBA students.
- Indexing:
I am negotiating with the
publisher for the indexing of both book and individual cases within Scopus for global
recognition and prestige. Consequently, your
case would count like a journal publication after indexing in Scopus.
- AGBA needs following 4 documents
from you by the deadline given in the next section.
- Your
Case in the MS Word Format ONLY;
- Your
Teaching Note in MS Word format only;
- English
Editing Certificate; and
- Plagiarization
Report showing less than 10% similarity
index.
