In summary, we are learning how to analyze common business cases in different environments and how to manage them strategically to maximize profits and minimize negative possibilities. The conclusion should provide your strategic alternatives, as #15 shows. We are learning the basics of how to manage strategically and will gain experience in real-world situations. Not only will the Appendix: Case Analysis found in the back of our book and our Course Resources have guidelines too. 

The paper is similar to composing a business proposal for executives to learn about the firm's best opportunities and next steps toward them. The main purpose is to apply our textbook reading to provide strategic options, justifying our alternatives from research.

For all the cases, see the Appendix: Case Analysis information starting on page A-1, which shows the process. As you can see, the questions build up and lead to developing the optimal strategy for a company. Case Studies are a process and guide in development to manage strategically. For HW cases such as this assignment, only answer the questions in the assignment, such as the ones below. Although they are similar to the Appendix, start by following the question pattern below to ensure your readiness for the next steps and learning this strategic analysis process. After progressing through our reading more, Major Case Analyses assignments will include more questions, leading your work to conclude alternative strategies. Each case assignment will have a list of questions to answer, leading to the best strategies. Throughout our Strategic Management textbook, directions and models demonstrate how to assess factors for optimal strategy creation.
