Written Assignment Case – Analysis Format

The purpose of the
Case Study Analysis learning tool is to provide an opportunity for the student(s) to demonstrate the application of knowledge to a management/organizational scenario. Since most management problems are inherently multidimensional, the use of the
Case Study Analysis tool is a ‘hands-on’ process that helps students experience organizational complexities within a thoughtful forum. Therefore, the quality of your responses is more important than the quantity.  Keep in mind the student-learning model:
Absorb, Synthesize, Analyze, Apply, Conclude and Demonstrate.  Your report will be (1-2 pages in length, APA format).  

Defining the central problem (Introduction)      5 PTS                                   

Provide a summary statement to demonstrate an understanding of the problem being presented. Summary statements are, typically, 3 – 5 sentences.  This introduction supports your thesis or proposition statement.

Case Summary       5 PTS

The summary should be brief and highlight the key factors or events relevant to your analysis or position.

Identify the relevant factor(s) and explain why they are important to the case.    10 PTS

It is not unusual for a case to have several relevant factors that are crucial to identifying a course of action. However, it is critical to the analysis that the relevant factors number no more than 3 and that it represents the graduate student’s choice (not the instructor) and it is important to state ‘Why’ you think the factor(s) you have chosen are important.

Analysis               
10     PTS                                                                                      

The analysis section must be organized in a logical fashion, be written in a manner that advances your thesis; be supported by supplemental research, and demonstrate the ability to apply key course concepts to the actual case.

Recommendations       5 PTS

The recommendations section must include your solutions to the problems you have identified in the analytical section.  It is important that your recommendations, if implemented, adequately address all of the problems that you indicate are in existence.  Additionally, each recommendation needs to meet the test of feasibility.  In other words, are these actions cost-effective, could they realistically be implemented, and are they in compliance with regulations?

Conclusions            5  PTS                                                                                   

Identify a course of action you would take to resolve the case problem and what do you think needs to happen once the action has been taken. Feel free to support your course of action through personal, vicarious and/or classroom experiences.

References            5   PTS                                                                          

All sources cited within your work are to be included in your references section in APA form.
