The Summers & Smith (2010) Communication skills handbook describes a case study as a written description of a business problem at a specific point of time. Case studies come in different formats, including short, less formal descriptions of organisations or business situations or specific scenarios. The case study for this assignment is in the form of a short description of an organisation. This presents you with a specific situation at a given moment in time and does not provide all the information before or after this moment in time. What should you do if you need information about the case that is not provided? You need to make logical assumptions about the case. Make sure in your writing that the reader is informed about your specific assumptions to explain your arguments. These might be written in an Appendix - if you would like. Case study analysis provides you with the opportunity to experience the challenges faced in real-life situations. The aim of this type of assessment is to facilitate learning by applying theories and concepts directly. This means that your response to the assignment questions/tasks MUST be a blend of theory/concepts with case study examples to support your key points/points of view
