Executive summary (200 words): provides a coherent overview of the document it attempts to summarize. The executive summary, which should be written after completing other sections of the case analysis report, must contain a brief statement of the core problem, pertinent details, and the recommendation.
Problem statement (50 words): identifies the core problem or issue facing the decision-maker. What is she or he trying to solve? Do not confuse the problem with its underlying causes. Likewise, do not “change” the problem. For example, if the problem is deciding whether a firm should enter Mexico via a joint venture, do not argue that China would be an ideal country for the firm to enter.
Analysis (600 words): identifies the underlying causes of the core problem. It should provide a well-balanced and detailed analysis of the situation by examining all relevant factors. Remember that unless you correctly identify the causes of a problem, it will be difficult to find a solution that “really” solves the problem!
Discussion of alternatives (400 words): includes two feasible and mutually exclusive alternatives that can be utilized to solve the core problem. Do not discuss alternatives that the decision-maker has rejected or about which she or he is not enthusiastic. Discuss all important advantages and disadvantages of each alternative briefly.
Recommendation (250 words): explicitly identifies your recommendation. Ensure that it is specific and feasible, and briefly explain your rationale for advocating a particular recommendation. Make sure as well that your recommendation is consistent with the rest of your report. Check to see if you have really addressed the core problem!
