CASE ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS

The following steps should be helpful to you in preparing your case analysis:

  1. Identify the relevant problem(s), stating assumptions if appropriate. The emphasis at this stage is on getting an overview of the issues involved. Students often get bogged down in recounting details, many of which may be irrelevant, rather than identifying the issues.

  1. Identify or select the most important problem(s). For example, “The problem in this case is a poor fit between the organization and its environment”. It is important that you are identifying the real problem and not just one or more symptoms.

  1. Analyze the problem and its causes in terms of the theories and concepts discussed in the text and in class.

  1. Identify and weigh alternative actions to “solve” or “improve” the situation.

  1. Select the best alternative and explain why you chose it.

  1. State how and when the recommended action should be implemented.

Your written analysis should be formatted into three major sections as follows:

  • Statement of the Problem – In this opening section, you should clearly and succinctly state the problem(s) you believe needs to be addressed or solved. This section should be a few sentences or a paragraph at most.

  • Analysis and Evaluation – This is the most difficult part of the assignment because analysis is hard work. You should offer analysis and evidence (hard facts) to back up your conclusions. Try to inject balance into your analysis and to avoid emotional rhetoric. Since your papers must be written in third person point of view, you must not use phrases such as “I think,” “I feel,” “I believe”, or similar phrases. This section should include discussion of two or, at most three, alternative methods of addressing the issue.

  • Recommendation – In this section, you will select what you consider to be the best alternative, discuss why you believe it to be so, as well as how and when it should be implemented.
