Identify the most important facts surrounding the case.

Students will read and analyze case studies from the Harvard Business Coursepack.  These will be key components of the course where students will understand and apply the course subject matter.

Case studies are worked on over a two week period, allowing students time to thoroughly read and analyze the case. While each case study requires you to answer specific questions, a good case study paper should also include the following process and consideration:

  1. Identify the most important facts surrounding the case.
  2. Identify the key issue or issues.
  3. Specify alternative courses of action.
  4. Evaluate each course of action.
  5. Recommend the best course of action.
