Join us for our first seminar of the academic year hosted by the CDC at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) on 26 September. This seminar will provide insights for creating cases that cater to multiple audiences and areas, focusing on the development process of the Unilever Lipton 2024 case.  This seminar is hosted by the RSM Case Community for the sharing of experiences and exploring ideas for case writing and teaching.

Speaker Dr Anthony Brown will discuss the intricacies of developing the Lipton case, which explores the rollout of Lipton Ice Tea across Europe in the late 1990s to early 2000s. This case delves into the complexities of defining and implementing new strategic platforms within large organisations and is particularly relevant for those interested in international business.

Parts of the case provide in depth information that allows students to investigate aspects such as marketing and branding, operations management, and strategic management under the overarching theme.

Programme

The seminar will cover:

  • Idea and Story Development: Delve into the creative process behind conceptualizing the Unilever Lipton 2024 case, including how to craft a compelling narrative that resonates with students across multiple disciplines.
  • Facts and Data Gathering: The challenges of sourcing accurate information, balancing the use of publicly available data with copyrighted material, and ensuring the case is both informative and legally sound.
  • Team Writing and Collaboration: Discover best practices for collaborative writing, especially when developing complex cases with multiple sub-storylines.
  • Teaching Materials and Notes: Discuss the importance of comprehensive teaching notes and materials that support educators in effectively delivering the case content.
