The 2026 CEEMAN Case Writing Competition, organized once again in cooperation with Emerald Publishing, attracted 58 case study submissions written by authors from 18 countries. The judging panel consisted of Leif Sjoblom (IMD, Switzerland), Alfred Rosenbloom (Dominican University, USA), and Shalini Rahul Tiwari (IMT Ghaziabad, India). We are very grateful for their time and expertise in judging this competition.
