Case Research Foundation | Annual Report 2022

Our 2022 Fellows

This year, we received 107 completed applications (59 doctoral students; 48 early-career faculty).  We were pleased to award 11 Paul R. Lawrence Fellowships in 2022.  Meet our 2022 fellowship recipients here.

ADDING VALUE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

With NACRA and our institutional sponsors, the Case Research Foundation has worked to provide professional development opportunities to members and former fellows throughout the year—not just during the conference. 

Recent webinar topics have included:
Gaining Access as a Case Writer (with Ivey Publishing)

Spotlight on prl fellow alums

Karin and Meredith, both on the faculty of Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada, have written a new book, which will be issued by Edward Elgar Publishing in the summer of 2023. How to Write Great Business Cases is an easy-to consume guide for individuals looking to get started writing and publishing real-world, decision-based business cases and for current case authors who are looking to take their case writing ability to the next level. 

 “We are excited to share with the broader academic community what we have learned about case writing through writing, publishing and teaching business cases,” Karin told us.  “What really kicked off my case-writing journey was the opportunity to be an inaugural PRL Fellow, meeting a community of fellow case writers who have become colleagues, friends, and collaborators.  That would not have been possible without the generous support of the CRF.”

Meredith added, “The guidance and mentorship of the PRL Fellowship leadership and the CRF more broadly were critical for me to grow as a case writer.  I am so grateful to the CRF for their support and applaud them for the ongoing work they do to foster new generations of academics interested in case writing.” 

Financials

Fundraising

This year, our fundraising goal is $20,000.  Our expenses were higher than usual in 2022, because for first time since 2019 we held an in-person conference.  We also provided financial support to several Fellows from the 2020 and 2021 cohorts, who were unable to attend in-person because of the pandemic.  However, we were able to carry over funds from the two covid-impacted years, so our financial needs for this year have been relatively stable. 

Our Administrative Costs

Our board of directors, faculty mentors, and committee members volunteer their time. We receive in-kind donations from the North American Case Research Association and other friends. Our administrative costs support website development, fellowship marketing, and management of the selection process.
