Guidelines for Case Write-Ups

There will be four assigned cases, and all are to be turned in. You will work in teams of up to four students. All members of a team will ordinarily receive the same grade, but I will ask every member of the team to do a peer evaluation of other group members, and I reserve the right to use that or other information to give less or more marks to an individual team member.

For each case you will be provided with a list of questions designed to help guide and focus your analysis. The questions are not intended to be a complete list of the relevant issues in the case and, therefore, should not be used to define the limits of your analysis. The following are some general guidelines in preparing your write-ups.

Determine the major problems and/or opportunities in the case. Critically evaluate the information provided in the case. Having identified the relevant issues, list the alternative courses of action. If needed, consult general texts and references pertinent to the problem. If business conditions, the legal environment, or other events at the date of the case affect the solution, find the appropriate facts. Critically evaluate the data and issues provided in the case. Confine your analysis to facts known at the time of the case.

All teams must prepare a typed case report of at most 10 pages of text (double spaced, font size 12 pt.) excluding the cover sheet and at most 8 pages of exhibits, tables and figures. Reports should outline the main issues, address the assigned case questions, and suggest specific recommendations supported by a thorough analysis. The report must clearly state the assumptions and the justifications for making these assumptions, and specify any additional data needed to arrive at conclusions. The case reports will be graded based on both form and content. Copies of your case analysis should be uploaded to Canvas as word documents before the due date stated on Canvas.

No late submissions will be allowed!
