The 2013 competition

Last year’s competition winner was Professor Terence P. C. Fan of the Lee Kong Chian School of Business at the Singapore Management University, for his winning paper “‘Way Smarter’: Valuair in the Budget Airline Industry”. Professor Fan received a prize of $1,500 and publication in Emerald Emerging Markets Case Studies (EEMCS).

"I thank SMU, the Centre for Management Practice, and the Lee Kong Chian School of Business for giving me the opportunity to work with world-class scholars and industry practitioners to develop and deepen our knowledge of Asia-specific management practices and experience. I’d also like to thank Emerald Publishing for their support and for contributing to this exciting academic development.”
