About oikos Case Teaching Initiative

oikos Case Teaching Initiative is intended to complement the oikos Case Writing Competition and annual case writing workshops (held at the Academy of Management Conference in 2009, 2010 and 2011). Through this combination of activities we hope to provide a diverse and valuable resource for case instructors and promote further integration of sustainability-related topics in the curriculum of business schools and universities.

The first element of the oikos Case Teaching Initiative is a quarterly periodical oikos Case Quarterly: Teaching Cases in Action. In this regular publication we hope to create a forum for discussing methods of teaching sustainability, management and entrepreneurship using case studies. We intend to do this through interviews and commentary from leading case writers. Download Issue 1 (Introduction), Issue 2 (Agriculture and Rural Businesses), Issue 3 (Sustainable Mobility), Issue 4 (Water) and Issue 5 (Sustainable Lifestyles) and subscribe for oikos Case Quarterly.

The second element of the oikos Case Teaching Initiative is online podcasts and interactive webinars. Download the first podcast with Michael V. Russo.
