Case Research Journal Editorial Policy • Field-research-based • Decision focused. • Company involvement – usually. • Secondary-sourced cases (rarely). • Instructor’s Manual (IM) required. • Our purpose is to help you write excellent cases and get published!
Easy Knockouts • Bad grammar. • Violating the editorial policy. • Not a decision. • Not field based. • Lacking data. • IM lacks theory • IM lacks application of data to theory
Erskine and Leenders Case Difficulty Cube and CRJ • Conceptual – apply single theory to integrate multiple theoretical perspectives. • CRJ – not too simple. • Analytical – evaluate others to place self in a complex role and act. • CRJ – individual must make a decision in context. • Presentation – how organized the data. • CRJ – not too confusing.
CRJ Process • Automatic Case Submission and Review System (ACSAR) system • Pre-review decision by editor: knockouts • First review – reviewers want to “help”; “Is this case publishable if the author does the work?” • Response to review – take review as helpful, response specifically to reviewers. • Second review – really the decision point; further work at editor’s discretion.
