Analyzing the case study
- Read the case study attentively at least two or three times. Become familiar with the key points of the situation without adopting a position on the case. Read as carefully and objectively as you can.
- After becoming thoroughly familiar with the case, make notes regarding the main issues as you see them.
- Since, you are also the writer of the case, the above two steps can be skipped.
- Identify two or three main problems from your case.
- Identify alternative solutions to the above-identified problems. Describe several alternatives, existing constraints and explain why some alternative solutions rejected.
- Solution – provide one or more realistic solution to the problem; explain the reasons behind the proposed solution; support this solution with justification and include relevant theoretical concepts
- Recommendations – identify specific strategies to accomplish the proposed solution; recommend further actions; outline an implementation plan.
- References: Your list of references citing articles, reports or any online resources.
