Five Preparation Steps to Case Analysis

Directions: Write one paragraph for each step, but do not number the paragraphs. Where appropriate, draw from your business experience as well as what you have learned in your business courses. 1. Define and state the problem specifically. 2. Decide on the measurable short-term objective and the company’s long-term

goal in this case. 3. State the facts of the case and analyze how they played a part in the problem. 4. Write two or three alternative solutions to the problem, and evaluate the

advantages and disadvantages of each. 5. Choose the best solution and recommend the action you can support with

evidence.
