"We are truly delighted to have won the first place in the 2023 CEEMAN & Emerald Case Writing Competition! It is a great honor to receive this prestigious award and an important recognition of our dedication to and support of the case method for teaching and learning purposes. The case study we developed tackles a critical issue of food wastage, which affects mainly the hospitality industry in many countries around the world. In an era of sustainability where governments are striving to achieve the gold of zero hunger, addressing this grand challenge is essential for the future sustainable development of global societies. We are hopeful that our case will not only spread awareness about the issue of food wastage, but also provide beneficial learning outcomes and key takeaways for students in the classroom that can be extrapolated to similar situations in real business settings."
