While we discuss an article or a case every week in the class, you will be required to submit 1% to 2 pages case summary encompassing core organizational issues, key stakeholders, organizational environment, and possible decisions and action strategies. You can assume your reader has knowledge about the facts of the case and limit your summary to a couple of paragraphs, and focus analysis, assessment and recommendations.
Please answer question below within the case study. Thank you.
