Where are the women in teaching cases? Does the current cannon of business teaching cases look like researchers, students, and practitioners? Only 11% of top-used teaching cases have a female protagonist, and the percentage for women of color is even lower. Business Schools across the globe are working to achieve enrollment gender parity – what does it mean when women dont see themselves in cases literature?

Please join us for a provocative session on the underrepresentation of women in global teaching cases. Hear from a researcher who uncovered the teaching cases underrepresentation of minorities, a female CEO who is actioning these findings to support more women in MBA programs, and a leading cases publisher committed to publishing case research that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. Its time to positively represents real women in leadership positions in the workplace and impact the status quo!

Africa, as a whole, is experiencing significant political, economic and sociocultural changes that will determine, for the short and possibly the long terms, whether it is 'Africa rising' or 'Africa stagnating'. While we recognize the significant differences between Africa's regions and the unique context of each of its leading economies, there are common challenges that call for a unified and coordinated approach.

In this webinar, Georgia State University professor Mourad Dakhli, and University of Pretoria professor Carolyn Chisadza invite you to join in on a conversation exploring the current realities and future prospects of Africa's economic and business context. Some of the topics that we will debater include institutional development across the continent, the changing landscape of doing business in major African economies, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on business, and the Pan-African Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and its expected consequences.
