Critical Thinking Case Analysis

• Questions for you to resolve:

Consider yourself as a boss

What are the costs and variables we should consider?

You should:

• Populate the analysis spreadsheet. NOTE: Do not change the formulary in the sheet.

  • You may make other modifications or ADD TABS as you see fit.  Use good practices when presenting data.

• Conduct a thorough financial analysis, meaning discussing the various options under consideration and comparing them.  then - 

• Make a recommendation to leadership about what we (MacKinnon) should do based on your work.   Answer the following KEY questions in your report:

  • What is the quantitative evidence that supports your recommendations/decision?

  • What variables or other data did Mackinon not provide that you would recommend be included in further analysis, and why?

  • What are the Risks?  Therefore, what risk mitigation strategies might you employ?

• The format is the same as outlined in the CASE guidelines. Your Excel workbook should be designed to support your decision(s), and your analysis should align with your recommendation(s).
