The goal of a case study is to enhance your ability to solve work-related problems, using a logical framework. The issues in a case are generally not unique to a specific person, organization, or industry, and they often deal with more than one strategic or theoretical element. Sometimes, the material presented in a case may be in conflict. For example, two managers may disagree about a strategy or there may be several interpretations of the same facts. In all case studies, you must analyze what is presented and state which specific actions best resolve major issues. These actions must reflect the information in the case and the environment facing the firm. Steps in Solving a Case Study Analysis should include these sequential steps: 1.Presentation of the facts surrounding the case. 2.Identification of the key issues. 3.Listing of alternative courses of action that could be taken. 4.Evaluation of alternative courses of action. 5.Recommendation of the best course of action. Presentation of the Facts Surrounding the Case It is helpful to read a case until you are comfortable with the information in it. Re- readings often are an aid to comprehending facts, possible strategies, or questions that need clarification and were not apparent earlier. In studying a case, assume you are a cross-cultural consultant hired by the organization. While facts should be accepted as true, statements, judgments, and decisions made by the individuals in a case should be questioned, especially if not supported by facts - or when one individual disagrees with another. During your reading of the case, you should underline crucial facts, interpret figures and charts, critically review the comments made by individuals, judge the rationality of past and current decisions, and prepare questions whose answers would be useful in addressing the key issue(s). Identification of the Key Issue(s) The facts stated in a case often point to the key issue(s) facing an organization or individual, such as new opportunities, a changing environment, a decline in competitive position, or excess inventories. Identify the characteristics and ramifications of the issue(s) and examine them, using the material in the caseand the text. Sometimes, you must delve deeply because the key issue(s) and their characteristics may not be immediately obvious. Listing Alternative Courses of Action That Could Be Taken
