This assignment is an individual assignment, worth 150 points for the semester. Present your analysis from the point of view of a consultant hired to advise the Chairman of the Board. Thus, your audience is familiar with all the facts of the case; do not waste time restating case data. Your objective is to analyze, interpret, draw conclusions, make recommendations and projections that are unique and must be explained and justified. The following guidelines should help you in writing this case study The time period is the one covered by the case as reported in the textbook. No outside research is allowed. If you quote something, put it in quotes, and list the page number after the quote. Make use of concepts and theories from the text and class discussions. You need not cite the text directly nor should you explain/develop the concepts or theories. Please assume that I have knowledge and understanding of management theories. Simply make the logical connections between the concept or theory and the case issue to which it applies. The case must be typed, 11 or 12-pt. font, double-spaced, with one-inch margins. It will probably be six to ten pages in length (excluding appendices), but it can be shorter or longer if you wish. Use APA format for this assignment. Use section headers in your report - the section headers are the items listed in the Elements column of the grading rubric: Executive Summary, External Analysis, Internal Analysis, Issue Identification, Strategic Alternatives, Recommended Actions, Appendices and Exhibits. Subheadings may also be used to aid the reader in understanding the topic you are examining in a particular set of paragraphs. Your report should be well organized, succinct, and well written. The report should read as a unified piece of work and flow smoothly. Number pages consecutively from beginning of document to the end. PROOFREAD! In addition to content, grammar, spelling, and style are important! I will take off points for not following these guidelines and for submitting sloppy reports. See my note about plagiarism at the end of this document. Note about appendices: Six appendices are listed in the Rubric that you must include with your paper. Remember to be as complete as you can in your appendices, so that when you discuss a few of the items in your text, you can be confident that they are the key items to mention. I suggest you create the appendices first, even though they appear last in your report. They are intended to give you data to justify your conclusions in the text of the report.
