Use the following format to develop your written case study:

Once you have gathered the necessary information, a draft of your analysis should include these general sections. Still, these may differ depending on your assignment directions or your specific case study:

1.     Introduction

1. • 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

1. • Set the scene: background information, relevant facts, and the most critical issues.
   • Demonstrate that you have researched the problems in this case study.

3.     Evaluation of the Case

1. • 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 not working well.

4.     Proposed Solution/Changes

1. • 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

1. • 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?
