Overview of Format
Note that your text should be double spaced, 1 inch margins, with indented paragraphs.
Do not double space between paragraphs. Case analyses should contain headings for each
section to organize your document. Both case analyses and homework should be
approximately two pages in text length (500 600 words), but may have supplemental
attachments such as charts and tables, appropriately labeled. Every case and homework
will be submitted to the assignment link in Moodle, but please bring a copy to class for your
own reference.
Case Analysis
In a case analysis, we do not summarize the case. The text has provided that information
for you. Examine the text questions and consider the case from a managerial position in
your firm. A typical case analysis you should do the following:
Identify the short term problem
Identify the long term problem (i.e., scale, scope of operations, core competencies)
Identify the issues – points of debate: make sure the issue has a bearing on the decision
Generate alternatives – plausible, meaningful
Recommendation – why
Action plan – how
Your headings for the case will be:
Short Term Problem
Long Term Problem
Issues
Alternatives
