Case study directions
Students will be assigned a Harvard Case study as their term project. Emphasis will be placed on themain problem being solved, key issues, and/or root causes. Students will be tasked with applying theappropriate analytical tools to case data, both quantitative and qualitative. For some cases, root causeanalysis will be used to examine symptoms/key issues to derive alternative solutions mindful of thecause(s). Alternatives will then be critically examined leading to a final solution set. For other cases, theappropriate analytical tools will be used to choose among a set of currently existing alternatives. Finally,some cases will require a combination of bothanalytical approaches.Note: Students will be provided a "case coach"(below)and grading rubric(attached) to assist in building case studypresentations/written analyses. Quality cases are usually in between 5 to 7 pages written, not includingvisuals such as spreadsheets, tables, figures, and graphs. Since cases are self-contained, there is no needfor students to use research in addition to classroom materials. If you do cite the text, case, classmaterials, etc., please give credit where credit is due by using in-text citations. If you cite resources in thebody of your case, you will also have to construct a reference page. Also, if you choose to cite materials in addition to the case itself, please use APA format.
