    Call for teaching cases

    The Case Journal

    Underrepresented Perspectives: Blacks in Business

    Guest Editors: Mary K. Foster and Pamela E. Queen, Morgan State University

    The deadline for submission of papers is Monday, January 22, 2018 by 11:59 PM EST.

     Blacks/African Americans represent about 13% of the U.S. population1, but are significantly underrepresented in the business world:

    •        Black men and women account for 4.7% of executive team members in the Fortune 100 (the top 100 U.S. companies by revenue)2  
    •         At smaller companies, African Americans hold an estimated 6.7% of the nation's 16.2 million "management" jobs3
    •         Blacks are underrepresented across the board in management, professional, and related fields4

    According to Steven Rodgers, less than 2 percent of the 10,000 teaching cases published by Harvard Business School feature black business leaders5.

    Increasing diversity in organizations is key to maximizing economic growth6, innovation7, and raising the standard of living2.

    Teaching cases which capture the stories, voices, and experiences of Blacks in business can serve as role models and inspiration for students of color and for other students these cases may help them become more effective in an increasingly diverse world.
