Summary of the Case

Write a brief summary of the case. Answer the question: What is the case about? Write two to
three paragraphs only.

Problem
What management problem did you identify in the case?

Objectives
If you will break down the management problem into smaller questions, what would they be?

Methodology
For each question above, what do you need to do to answer the question? What kind of information
do you need to gather? What analysis tool do you need to use to process the information you
gathered?

Case Discussion

Case Facts
What information from the case do you find relevant to the questions you asked? What information
have you gathered from other sources that would be useful to answer the questions?

Case Facts Analysis

Using the tools you identified in ‘Methodology’, analyze the information from the case facts. What
are the answers to the questions?

Conclusion

Alternative Solutions
Study the answers to the questions. Go back to the management problem. What two solutions can
you offer to solve the problem? Compare the costs and benefits or advantages and disadvantages
of each solution.
