In the GSB Case Writing Centre Doing Business in Africa (DBIA) case series, one of elements that we are most proud of is our infographic. Today's piece looks at the stories behind what we call Exhibit A - smart snapshots of current data that support the case. Curated together with the talented graphic designer Leah de Jager, our infographics bring African city skylines to life by providing the relevant figures of the country and industry context of the case. The result? Exquisite visual stories about business in Africa that we at the GSB Case Writing Centre love.

Today GSB Case Writing Centre shares more about the thinking behind our second Doing Business in Africa (DBIA) case piece: podcasts. One of the elements we've enjoyed the most is being able to showcase the inspirational voices of our protagonists in The Dilemma Podcast. Bringing these case stories to life in studio has been really rewarding. And to hear each story in each business leader's own words and texture, has made it come to life even more. Being a case, the podcast is also where we get to grips with their current 'dilemma' of course and what's keeping them up at night. Read all about the process here: https://shorturl.at/vSNos and listen to the podcasts (each one has a menu of chapters if you want to just dip in on certain sections). Businesses in their own words. Plus we've loved embracing the super slick Graduate School of Business - University of Cape Town's podcast studio (thanks still Willie du Plooy 😎 ). #Africancases #DBIA #GSBcasewritingcentre #multimediacases

GSB Case Writing Centre is back from a winter break with an exciting line-up for the third quarter. Last year we launched our Doing Business in Africa (DBIA) case series to bring more African business cases to everyone - open-source and multimedia. You can dip into the cases here: https://shorturl.at/KwSOM To develop the format, GSB Case Writing Centre case researchers spent time doing in depth research and interviews with faculty, corporates, Graduate School of Business - University of Cape Town alumni and students through a design thinking process with the Hasso Plattner d-school Afrika at the University of Cape Town. We wanted to create a case format that was relevant, meaningful, and new to what our stakeholders needed. And so next, we bring you a glimpse into behind-the-scenes of each puzzle piece of our DBIA case series. First up is what we call our intro blog Meet the Company - which is self explanatory. We also introduce the underlying dilemma/s that the company is facing. After all, that's what cases do - pose the issues to be solved.
