Assignment - Toby Johnson Case Analysis

Instructions - Although I will not assign a number of words or paragraphs, your responses should be thorough and specific. You should consider multiple perspectives and evaluate strengths and weaknesses.

In your responses, please do not restate the facts of the case. Keep in mind that I am familiar with the case, and you need only to mention facts that are relevant to (and support) your analysis or recommendation as you need them. Rather, use the information in the case to illustrate your statements, to defend your arguments, or to make salient points.

You must avoid being descriptive; instead, you must be analytical. You are obliged to offer analysis and evidence to back up your conclusions. Do not rely on unsupported opinions, over-generalizations, and platitudes as a substitute for tight, logical argument backed up with facts and figures.

Please write in a formal manner suitable for scholarly work, rather than a letter to a friend.
