The Social Impact & Sustainability track encourages and welcomes the submissions of teaching cases that relate to socially and environmentally responsible organizations, including but not limited to social entrepreneurship, social business, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), non-profit organizations, impact investment, microfinance, social innovation, new legal structures, B Corps, etc. The cases can be related to any functional area (Marketing, Finance, Accounting, HR, Operations, etc.) and any vertical industry. We also encourage submissions from diverse geographical perspectives as NACRA continues to expand its international presence.
Undisguised decision-focused cases based on primary sources (interviews, field visits) are highly preferred. Although cases may be disguised, they must be based on real events and real people in real organizations. Submitted cases may have been previously taught but must not have been previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere (journals, books, online) before the October 2026 conference.
Please check the NACRA website (www.nacra.net) for submission and formatting instructions, and don't hesitate to send me any case- or conference-related questions.
