Group Case Study Assignment:

A

mazon.

This is d

ue

in

Week

8,

although

you

may

begin

to

collaborate

earlier

in

the

term.

For

this

purpose

t

he Groups have been set up, and you will find these in the

Group Discussion area of the course.

As you will see, these case studies are very compr

ehensive.

They will challenge you (in a good way) to

leverage what you have learned in prior courses as you have completed the program.

You will also be tasked

with conducting extensive research regarding these companies and you will analyze financial st

atements

(while also providing projections).

If the financial reporting is an area of less experience for you, please be

encouraged to look at the Individual Case Study Assignment very early in the course.

That way, you will have

ample time to research a

nd respond to the case requirements. Please leverage your current and prior

textbooks, your research and

practical materials that you may find helpful in developing and interpreting the

financial statements.

Although challenging, I am pleased and thankful

to report that our students excel in these cases.

It is clear

that the quality, depth and academic rigor of our program have prepared us very well to meet such

challenges.

I pray that you enjoy a similar experience, as I am sure you will.
