| The Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Cases on Information Technology (JCIT) would like to invite you to consider submitting a teaching case for inclusion in this scholarly journal. The following describes the mission, the coverage, and the guidelines for submission to JCIT.
MissionAs a refereed, international journal, the primary goal of the Journal of Cases on Information Technology (JCIT)
is to provide effective understanding, solutions, and lessons learned
by organizations worldwide in the utilization and management of
information systems applications, technology, and resources. In every
discipline, some of the most powerful tools in the hands of educators,
researchers, and managers are teaching cases based on the experiences of
others. Teaching cases provide a unique opportunity for research to
take the shape of experience, implementation, and application. This is
particularly true for information systems educators and professionals.
Teaching cases are tremendous sources of solutions, knowledge, ideas,
innovations, and lessons related to utilization and management of
information systems in organizations. The impact of technology in a
particular setting is described, analyzed, and synthesized for the
objective of offering solutions for successful strategies, addressing
organizational challenges and experienced pitfalls of the aspect of
technology or specific function. Teaching case material is specifically
geared towards academicians and libraries for direct course usage and
are regarded as instructional tools.
