Despite many calls for caseβbased operations management research, the successful publication rate of such articles in topβtier journals has been less than stellar. A five step caseβbased research and dissemination process is presented. Guidance is given to future researchers for each step in the process.

Future potential research questions in operations management considered to be appropriate for the caseβbased method are highlighted.
