Question - CASE STUDY

Prepare a Case Study that identifies issues within Human Resources Management.

Elements of a Case Study - Element: Description:

Introduction - The introduction defines the problem to be examined and explains the parameters or limitations of the situation.

Overview/Analysis - The overview/analysis provides a scenario of the situation and offers more detail about the various players in the scenario, including the organisation, its employees or other people involved with the issue in question. It may also mention professional, technical or theoretical issues that arise from the situation. It might also include graphic or visual aids such as budgets, organisational charts, mission statements or technical specifications, as relevant. In complex case studies, the overview and analysis may be presented separately.

Status report - The status report describes the organisation's actions, on the matter. It may include statements from managers or employees about their intentions for resolving the issue.

Case problems - In many case studies, the status report may end with one or two case problems, which require the learner to analyse or solve a particular question. Case problems generally take one of three forms:

1. Give a situation and ask learners what they would do next.

2. Set a task, such as asking learners to prepare a report recommending an action for review by a key official.

3. Illustrate a scenario and ask learners to analyse the faults and recommend how it should have been handled.
