There are three Harvard case studies in this course. These cases will give you an opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge from the lectures and the readings to a real-world situation. A case study analysis requires you to investigate a business problem, examine the alternative solutions, and propose the most effective solution using supporting evidence.

What you are doing here is text analytics. You are examining a situation, discovering patterns and interesting data, and presenting your analysis of what’s going on in the case. It’s just like presenting your analysis of data. To hone your skills in making effective presentations, your analysis of this case should be NO MORE THAN TWO PAGES LONG. This means that you must think before you write. You need to present a considerable amount of analysis in a very short space.

No, you can’t format your paper to 2 point font! Formatting should be times new roman, 12 point, single spaced, one inch margins all around. Use appropriate breaks and headings to help the reader understand what you’re trying to convey. Ideas scattered around the page will not be explored. You get one chance, and you will not be allowed to “explain” your paper after submission. Once again, think before you write! A final hint: check the current status of the case company. It takes a while for the case to be prepared and published. Things may have changed for the company, the competition, and the environment. Go beyond what’s in the case in your analysis and see what’s happening now.
