    The key takeaways are the guidelines for preparing, drafting, and finalizing a case study analysis which include reading the case thoroughly, identifying key problems, uncovering possible solutions, drafting an introduction, background, alternatives, proposed solution, and recommendations section, and proofreading the final draft.

    The guidelines for preparing a case study analysis are to read and examine the case thoroughly by taking notes and highlighting relevant facts, focus the analysis by identifying 2-5 key problems, their causes and impacts, and uncover possible solutions by reviewing course materials and doing additional research.

    The sections that a draft of the case study analysis should include are an introduction with a thesis statement, a background section, alternatives section, proposed solution section with evidence and reasoning, and recommendations section detailing how to accomplish the proposed solution and further actions needed.

    GUIDELINES FOR WRITING A CASE STUDY ANALYSIS

    A case study analysis requires you to investigate a business problem, examine the alternative solutions, and propose
    the most effective solution using supporting evidence. To see an annotated sample of a Case Study Analysis,

    Preparing the Case


    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

    Review course readings, discussions, outside research, your experience.

    4. Select the best solution

    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 12
    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?

    When you make the necessary revisions, proofread and edit your analysis before submitting the final draft. (Refer
    to Proofreading and Editing Strategies to guide you at this stage).
