Welcome to the Case Writing Centre
The Case Writing Centre produces award-winning teaching cases that reflect the African and the emerging market context.
Our vision is to bring the relevance and strength of local business lessons to life.
AWARD-WINNING TEACHING CASES
A teaching case is a learning tool that brings real-life business situations into the classroom. Our cases profile leading and emerging businesses in Africa to explore complex business challenges and the strategies for navigating them.
INNOVATIVE BUSINESS STORYTELLING
Doing Business in Africa (DBIA) is a groundbreaking new case series that showcases dynamic African businesses in an open-source, multimedia format that we call the 'Deconstructed Case'.

"Because African business cases capture the essence of doing business in a complex environment, they play a vital role in equipping leaders to problem-solve. Additionally, African business cases encourage students to either continue, or aspire to, doing business in Africa – an economically and socially valuable ambition."
