Components of a Case Study Analysis

(cases must be at least 2 pages long, without the cover and reference
pages)
a) Introduction: identify key issues in the case study; also, you must formulate and include a thesis statement,
summarizing the outcome of your analysis in four or five sentences.
b) Background: set the scene and give background information, relevant facts, and the most important issues;
demonstrate that you have researched the issues revolving around this case study.
c) Alternatives: provide at least 3 alternatives; explain why some of the alternatives might have been rejected;
explain any constraints and reasons; explain why some of the alternatives might not be possible at this time.
You should have most (or several) references under the alternatives, to support your argument.
d) Proposed solution: provide one specific and realistic solution; explain why it was the chose one; support
your solution with solid evidence, use concepts from class; use outside research, use anecdotes or personal
experience.
e) Recommendations: determine and discuss strategies for accomplishing the proposed solution; if applicable,
make recommendations for further action to solve some of the issues; what should be done (and who’s
responsible for doing it?).
