“The case writing competition was an excellent opportunity for us to study a topic that we all are interested in. We used this opportunity to dive deep into the evolution of China's street vendor economy and provide a case that can be used for actual educational purpose. We are truly grateful for all the support and suggestion we received.”

"Working on the case study provided me with a new perspective on how the government handles risks from the use of new means of transport like e-scooters. Analyzing the case with the help of my advisor helped me to engage with a 'real' policy problem since I had experienced e-scooters zipping past me on footpaths and was aware of the regulations being introduced in Singapore for the safety of e-scooter users and pedestrians in the recent past. This made writing the case even more insightful and interesting.”
