Your final case should have 3 parts

Part 1: Identify and describe the organization and why and what information technology issues and problems it is having. The organization may be one you or someone you know may be working at, or any organization about which you can find information online or in newspapers or magazines. These can relate to changing infrastructure, implementing a new application, outsourcing, or anything else you can think of. Then describe the information system issues related to the organization. (1-1.5 pages)

Part 2: In the second part, analyze the issues/problems/contexts in the organization in terms of the frameworks/concepts and theories presented in the book. If you are writing about a problem/issue in an organization that may already have been resolved, you need to set aside the actions that an organization has already taken to resolve the issue (whether successfully or unsuccessfully) and look at the issue with fresh eyes. Analyze the problem, find alternatives and evaluate them. Make sure that you include the actual decision that the organization has already implemented as one of the alternatives in case analysis.
References: If you are using data from the Internet or secondary sources and not from personal experience, gather and list at least five sources of information about the organization. Use APA citation guidelines. External references may be used in the second part of the paper to discuss the theories and models, in addition to the concepts that are already included in the book.

Part 3: A 3-5 minute multimedia briefing of the case using any of the following tools Xtranormal, powtoon , GoAnimate, animoto, Prezi. If all else fails use a narrated PowerPoint.
