Many Kellogg faculty members engage in case writing to increase the quality of their teaching materials. If your company has a situation or experience that you believe might lead to a compelling and instructive case, and your company is interested in partnering with Kellogg faculty in the case writing process, we would be pleased to hear from you. It is also imperative that the key contact person be able to facilitate access to your company’s key personnel.

Some examples of the types of cases faculty seek concern: business strategy, crisis management, entrepreneurship, ethics, finance and accounting, governance, leadership, management, marketing strategy, new product development, operations, organizational development, supply chain, and technology.

Your company experience may be very unique, and the challenge is to match a potential case situation with the appropriate faculty research expertise, classroom need and available time. Although it is not assured that a faculty member will decide to contact your company, if your company situation meets a specific faculty member’s area of expertise and pedagogical parameters, a faculty member may contact you. In addition, Kellogg faculty will occasionally invite key company personnel into the classroom at the conclusion of the case discussion to amplify the case and enrich the student learning experience.

We also encourage you to consider volunteering your experience here at Kellogg in other meaningful ways, such as speaking to student clubs, or presenting at student organized conferences.

Once you have submitted the following online form, you will receive a follow-up e-mail. Your project will then be posted on the Faculty Case Development Web page, which serves as a clearinghouse and resource to the Kellogg faculty. Unless otherwise specified, it will remain there until taken by a faculty member or removed upon your request.
