GUIDELINES
FOR WRITING A CASE STUDY ANALYSIS
A case study analysis
requires the investigation a business problem, examination of the alternative
solutions, and selection of the most effective solution using supporting
evidence.
Before you begin writing, follow these
guidelines to help you prepare and understand the case study:
1. Read and examine the case
thoroughly
·
Take notes, highlight relevant facts, underline key problems.
2. Focus your analysis

·
Identify two to five key problems
·
Why do they exist?
·
How do they impact the organization?
·
Who is responsible for them?
3. Uncover possible
solutions
o Review course readings,
discussions, outside research, your experience.
4. Select the best solution
o Consider strong
supporting evidence, pros, and cons: is this solution realistic?
Drafting the Case
Once you have gathered
the necessary information, a draft of your analysis should include these
sections:
1. Introduction
·
Identify the key problems and issues in the case study.
·
Formulate and include a thesis statement, summarizing the
outcome of your analysis in 1–2 sentences.
2. Background
·
Set the scene: background information, relevant facts, and the
most important issues.
·
Demonstrate that you have researched the problems in this case
study.
3. Alternatives
·
Outline possible alternatives (not necessarily all of them)
·
Explain why alternatives were rejected
·
Constraints/reasons
·
Why are alternatives not possible at this time?
4. Proposed Solution
·
Provide one specific and realistic solution
·
Explain why this solution was chosen
·
Support this solution with solid evidence
·
Concepts from class (text readings, discussions, lectures)
·
Outside research
·
Personal experience (anecdotes)
5. Recommendations
·
Determine and discuss specific strategies for accomplishing the
proposed solution. If applicable, recommend further action to resolve some of
the issues
·
What should be done and who should do it?
Finalizing the Case
After you have composed
the first draft of your case study analysis, read through it to check for any
gaps or inconsistencies in content or structure: Is your thesis statement clear
and direct? Have you provided solid evidence? Is any component from the
analysis missing?
