Emerging Market Case Studies is pleased to announce the 5th ICSC conference, held by our partners ICFAI on November 13-14, 2025.
Introduction
The case method of teaching and learning is still a powerful educational tool more than 100 years after its introduction. What will its relevance be in the next 25 years? How will it evolve? What will the impact of technology, especially AI, be on case teaching, learning and writing? How can the case method help in preserving and promoting indigenous knowledge?
The 5th International Case Study Conference will provide a platform to leaders in academia, policymakers in higher education, case teachers, writers, and publishers to engage with and understand the trends that will shape the future of the case method. The conference will feature invited talks by experts in the case method of teaching and learning and publishers who will share their perspectives on the future of the case method and the role of AI. A panel discussion on 'Reimagining Case Pedagogy in the Age of AI: Innovations in Teaching, Learning, and Writing' will bring together various stakeholders on a single platform. The conference will also provide participants an opportunity to publish case studies, articles, white papers on Case Pedagogy@2050: Challenges and Opportunities.
