Writing A Case Study

A case study analysis requires you to investigate a problem, examine the alternative
solutions, and propose the most effective solution using supporting evidence.

Preparing the Case

Before you begin writing, follow these guidelines to help you prepare and
understand the case study:
1. Read and Examine the Case Thoroughly
 Take notes, highlight relevant facts, underline key problems.
2. Focus Your Analysis
 Identify two to five key problems.
 Why do they exist?
 How do they impact the organization?
 Who is responsible for them?
3. Uncover Possible Solutions/Changes Needed
 Review course readings, discussions, outside research, your experience.
4. Select the Best Solution
 Consider strong supporting evidence, pros, and cons. Is this solution realistic?

Drafting the Case

Once you have gathered the necessary information, a draft of your analysis should
include these general sections, but these may differ depending on your assignment
directions or your specific case study:
1. Introduction
 Identify the key problems and issues in the case study.
 Formulate and include a thesis statement, summarizing the outcome of your
analysis in 1–2 sentences.
2. Background
 Set the scene: background information, relevant facts, and the most important
issues.
 Demonstrate that you have researched the problems in this case study.
3. Evaluation of the Case
 Outline the various pieces of the case study that you are focusing on.
 Evaluate these pieces by discussing what is working and what is not working.
 State why these parts of the case study are or are not working well.
4. Proposed Solution/Changes
 Provide specific and realistic solution(s) or changes needed.
 Explain why this solution was chosen.
 Support this solution with solid evidence, such as:
 Concepts from class (text readings, discussions, lectures)
 Outside research
 Personal experience (anecdotes)
5. Recommendations
 Determine and discuss specific strategies for accomplishing the proposed
solution.
 If applicable, recommend further action to resolve some of the issues.
 What should be done and who should do it?

Finalizing the Case


After you have composed the first draft of your case study analysis, read through it
to check for any gaps or inconsistencies in content or structure:
 Is your thesis statement clear and direct?
 Have you provided solid evidence?
 Is any component from the analysis missing?
When you make the necessary revisions, proof read and edit your analysis before
submitting the final draft.
