B) Case Study Questions:

What is the situation and what do you actually know about it from reading the case?

What issues are at stake?

What questions do you have and what information do you still need? Where and how could you find it? (most important questions)

What problems need to be solved?

What are all the possible options? What are the pros and cons of each option? What are the underlying assumptions for the parties in the case and where do you see them?

What criteria should you use when choosing an option? What does that mean about your assumptions?
