The mini case should describe a group or team in need of some sort of evaluation or intervention by the team leader or manager. The context of the problem or solution should correspond with the assigned chapter. In addition to providing the story, the mini case authors should pose two questions to be answered by the class. The questions should be designed in a way that the answers demonstrate learning of the assigned chapter concepts and key theories. The second question is one that asks the student to specifically recommend solutions (based on the assigned chapter readings) to the problem described in the mini case. An example is, "How might you use Theory XYZ, as displayed in Figure 14.8 on page 515, to resolve the issues described in the mini case?"
