Aims and scope

Emerging Markets Case Studies (EMCS) publishes discussion-based teaching case studies that offer students the opportunity to explore real-world challenges in the classroom environment, allowing them to test their decision-making skills before taking their knowledge into the workplace.

All cases accepted by Emerald into Emerging Markets Case Studies have teaching notes, which are rigorously reviewed to ensure their learning objectives facilitate dynamic classroom discussion and help faculty plan how best to use the case.

EMCS specialises in case research from and about emerging markets and developing economies, regions which are traditionally underrepresented in teaching case collections but which offer unique and important insights

Subject areas include:

  • Accounting and finance
  • Built environment
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Environmental management
  • International business
  • Human resources
  • Management science
  • Marketing
  • Operations and logistics
  • Public sector management
  • Strategy
  • Tourism and hospitality

We welcome cases written about real people, in real organizations, who have to make real decisions. Cases can be developed from primary data and/or secondary data. Cases can have some information disguised which will need to be outlined in your research methods section in the teaching note, and the real individuals and/or company need to provide consent for the publication of the disguised case. We do not publish fictional cases.
