Guidelines for Case Analysis
Case Analysis Basic Structure
The whole paper should not exceed six pages.
You should structure your analysis in the following manner:
1. A cover page with your group name, the case name, the date, the course
name
2. A 5-page maximum analysis that discusses the key strategic issue,
alternatives and recommendation. An implementation/action plan is not
required but would gain the paper additional points if written well.
3. Technically business case analyses do not require research but if the
group did do so then additional points would be given.
