New Publication Process for the Case Research Journal
The Case Research Journal (CRJ) is now self-published. Five volumes of the CRJ have been published using the new process this year. This means a faster turnaround time for printing and circulating cases to our membership and partner distributors (Harvard, Ivey, etc.). Special thanks go out to John Lawrence, Brent Beal, and Lynn Southard who were instrumental in making this transition successful.
NACRA Welcomes New Regional Affiliate
The Caribbean Case Researchers Association (CCRA) was approved as a new NACRA regional affiliate at the Annual Board of Directors meeting in Chicago, IL. The CCRA joins seven other NACRA regional affiliates. Paul
Golding will serve as the
CCRA representative.
