During the semester, cases and min-cases will be discussed in class. In addition to case discussion, each group will write three case briefs. The grading of the briefs will be based upon the quality of your analysis. Merely restating case facts will not help your grade and, in fact, will use up valuable space in your brief. In writing your briefs, assume that you are a consultant to the company who is being paid to analyze the company's situation and make a set of recommendations.
Briefs are due at the beginning of class on the indicated date.
Before starting to write your brief, read the following framework for case analysis carefully, so that you may formulate a targeted response. Case briefs will be graded on a 90-point basis. Please see the course website for the evaluation template that will be used to assess the case analysis. Framework for Case Analysis Approach each case analysis as a problem solving and decision-making exercise. Based on your analysis, make a logical recommendation on course of action that should be pursued by the organization or decision-maker.
