- The purpose of a case study is to examine the relationship among different management and organizational theories and apply them to solving to a particular case or business study. The case can be one from your course textbook or based on a business of your choice. This assignment will require students to work in teams to explore possible recommendations or solutions to a case as well as to offer an analysis of the business examined. For this assignment, the case study report should be organized according to the American Psychological Association (APA) citation style. This assignment should be a maximum of five pages, excluding the title page and references page(s). Along with the course textbook, it is anticipated you will also research related articles, web-sites, academic journals, the popular press, and/or books.
Teams will form in small groups of three to five people to determine and choose their choice case study. Some suggestions for organizing your presentation and report:
1. Title: Identification of the case/case study
2. Introduction: Include a brief background/ history of the case
3. Discussion of related management or organizational theories to analyze the case
3. Goals & Strategies:
identify appropriate strategies for the resolution of the case
compare and contrast advantages and disadvantages of the remedial options/strategies
recommend and present a rationale for the best resolution
4. Ideas and questions for consideration:
Discuss your scope and limitations
How will you formulate your analysis? What can you take away from this case or business analysis? What have you learned from your analysis of this case?
5. Conclusion- summary and major points
