Please disregard the requ irements written in the book for the problem. The output that will be submitted will follow the format prescribed bel

ow:

a. Statement of the Problem The problem in the case should be stated in question form. After stating the pro blem, discuss why is it the major problem in the case, and what makes it a problem. If the group discovers a few m inor problems, the group may also cite them in this part in question form. Groups are cautioned that in citing minor pr oblems, they also need to provide recommendation or solutions to those, the same as with the major problem.

b. Areas of Consideration It is in this part where the group will place factors, events, observations, etc . in the case that they considered in trying to provide for the alternative courses of action and the eventual recomme ndation. These may be cited in bulleted form, in complete sentences. Suppletory statements, which will support (a) cited area(s) of consideration, are encouraged.

c. Alternative Courses of Action To simplify the requirement, only two (2) alternative courses of action are requ ired. The group should ensure that the courses of action are mutually exclusive from each other. Groups are al so DISCOURAGED in using Do Nothing , Observe , Wait and see alternative courses of action as previously agreed in class. In citing an alternative course of action, a caption which encapsulates the cour se of action should be provided. After which, a discussion on the details of such is provided (steps and how they attempt to solve the problem). Lastly, the benefits and the costs should be outlined.

d. Recommendations and Conclusion The group should explicitly state which of the alternative courses of action is chosen and state the detailed reason of choosing the option. After explaining the reason of the choice, a disc ussion as to the detailed plan of execution

of the chosen course of action should be outlined. The group should be able to d efend that the benefits of the chosen alternative course of action are more beneficial than its costs, and that the ch osen alternative is better than the other.

e. Learnings and Take-Aways It is in this part where the group will summarize everything that they have disc ussed in this case analysis. It is also in this part where learning (individual or collective) is processed and dis cussed.
