Case study analysis gives students an opportunity to apply theory learned in the
classroom to real world situations. Case studies do not have discrete answers. Rather,
they challenge students to exercise their own business judgment in a supportive,
educational environment. Students test their knowledge by analyzing situations; defining
problems or issues; evaluating alternatives and/or forming conclusions to resolve the
problem or issue; and making recommendations.
Types of case study assignments:
Students may be asked to
•
•
•
Prepare a case in advance, based on criteria developed by the instructor. The case
would then be used as a basis for discussion.
Write a case analysis paper, based on criteria developed by the instructor. The
paper may be presented or reviewed by peers.
Analyze a case that is threaded throughout the course. As part of the learning
process, students acquire knowledge during the course and apply that knowledge
to different aspects of the case.
Case study analysis steps:
Cases used in the classroom vary from short vignettes to dense, multi page volumes. It is
the responsibility of the instructor to teach a process which, while useful in the
classroom, can be applied to the real world after the student graduates. Real world
application of the steps used in case study analysis will vary from those found in the
safety of the academia; employees will gather the information, found conveniently in an
academic written case study, from a dynamic environment.
Here are some recommended steps for successful case analysis:
1. Gain familiarity with the case situation. This can be accomplished by reading
the case several times. Read the first time to appreciate the general story before
you begin to form conclusions or make analysis.
2. Define the issue or problem. To make an analysis or recommendation, one must
first determine what the issue or problem is. As in the real world, note there may
be more than one problem in a case study analysis. (You can appreciate the
importance of this step if you ever took your car in because it was running rough
and paid for several repairs because the mechanic didn’t correctly diagnose the
problem in the beginning.)
3. Conduct your analysis. What are the possible causes of the problem or issue?
What alternatives are possible given the facts presented? This is the most time
consuming step, and the step with the greatest variation. There may be many
possibilities. It might be helpful to list all solutions you can think of before
focusing on the most useful or valid. There is not necessarily a right answer, but
there may be several alternatives that lead to varying outcomes. The quality of
analysis will depend upon application of theory learned in the classroom and
through research.
4. Make recommendations. Choose the recommendation you believe to be the
best, justify it, and develop it. Recommendations may be made in the form of an
action plan to solve the problem or issue. Or, recommendations may involve the
choice of the best alternative for resolving the issue or problem.
Recommendations made must be thoroughly developed and supported.
