You are going to write up an analysis for a company that uses technology in the workforce.  When writing this analysis, you must first have a good understanding of the organization. Before you begin the steps below, research your company carefully.  You should use, journal articles, current news sources and organization websites to support your analysis.  Once you are comfortable with the organization's background, begin the step-by-step instructions offered below to write a case study analysis.

Here's How:

1. Investigate and Analyze the Company’s History and Growth. A company’s past can greatly affect the present and future state of the organization. To begin your analysis, investigate the company’s founding, critical incidents, structure, and growth.
2. Identify Strengths and Weaknesses Within the Company. Using the information you gathered in step one, continue your analysis by examining and making a list of the value creation functions of the company. For example, the company may be weak in product development, but strong in marketing.
3. Gather Information on the External Environment. The third step in an analysis involves identifying opportunities and threats within the company’s external environment. Special items to note include competition within the industry, bargaining powers, and the threat of substitute products.
4. Analyze Your Findings. Using the information in steps two and three, you will need to create an evaluation for this portion of your analysis. Compare the strengths and weaknesses within the company to the external threats and opportunities. Determine if the company is in a strong competitive position and decide if it can continue at its current pace successfully.
5. Identify Corporate Level Strategy. To identify a company’s corporate level strategy for your analysis, you will need to identify and evaluate the company’s mission, goals, and corporate strategy. Analyze the company’s line of business and its subsidiaries and acquisitions. You will also want to debate the pros and cons of the company strategy.
6. Identify Business Level Strategy. Thus far, your analysis has identified the company’s corporate level strategy. To perform a complete analysis, you will need to identify the company’s business level strategy. (Note: if it is a single business, the corporate strategy and the business level strategy will be the same.) For this part of the case study analysis, you should identify and analyze each company’s competitive strategy, marketing strategy, costs, and general focus.
7. Analyze Implementations. This portion of the analysis requires that you identify and analyze the structure and control systems that the company is using to implement its business strategies. Evaluate organizational change, levels of hierarchy, employee rewards, conflicts, and other issues that are important to the company you are analyzing.
8. Make Recommendations. The final part of your analysis should include your recommendations for the company. Every recommendation you make should be based on and supported by the context of your analysis.
