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:
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?
Uncover possible solutions
Review course readings, discussions, outside research, your experience.
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 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

4. Proposed Solution

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

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