Discover how this exciting global competition is shining a spotlight on the powerful role entrepreneurship plays in emerging markets—and why these stories are essential to understanding innovation and connection in today’s rapidly changing world. As discussed in the second webinar, a rigorous, well-written teaching note enables instructors to skillfully facilitate a case discussion, as well as experience more successful learning outcomes.

• How to effectively use citations and endnote sources

• Practical strategies to overcome common writing challenges

• How can learning objectives be written as both actionable and measurable?

• What details need to be included in the pedagogy for the case?

• How do the discussion questions and case analysis serve as a “roadmap” for instructors?
