Each written case analysis may be no
longer than 1000 words, plus tables, charts, etc. In other words, the text must be at most 1000
words; you can add tables, pictures, and graphs if helpful.
You must format the case analyses in this structure:
1. Define the PROBLEM (in one or two sentences). In this definition make sure it is clear
whose problem it is, and why it is so important that somebody should worry about it. If there are
several problems in the case, you must either choose the most important one or define the
problem broadly so that the sub-problems are part of it. This is the most important part of the
analysis since you must aim at the right target in order to hit it.
2. Define the METHOD. In one or two sentences explain what method you are going to use to
solve the problem. A method could be interest arbitrage to pick the best investment, or hedging
techniques to find the least-cost hedge, or some other theory or technique. The method is NOT
the solution to the case.
3. Do the ANALYSIS. In this section, use most of your 1000 words to solve the problem. This
should be reasonably easy, since you have already defined the problem carefully and told me
what method you are going to use to solve it.
4. Draw some CONCLUSIONS. This may be a final paragraph in which you emphasize your
the solution to the problem and why it is best
