    How To Start Writing Your Case Study Analysis Preparation is fifty percent of

    getting a job done. Therefore, you need to be well-prepared for your case
    study analysis. Start from the careful reading of the case study. This advice
    may seem too simple, but the majority of students tend to ignore it and this
    is a big mistake.
    Often, the solution is hidden in the problem description. You can understand
    the problem better and find a solution quickly if you read your assignment
    several times. Highlight and underline important passages, then get down to
    the analysis using the following steps:
    1. Identify the problem. For example, sources of competitive advantages of
    Zara or the inability of McDonald’s to provide a stable rise in profits.
    2. Think about the underlying causes of the problem. Problems can vary
    from a poor supply chain structure to an incorrect market positioning
    strategy.
    3. Make an outline. This will help identify the main points when writing a
    case study.
    4. Examine cause-and-effect relations. Try to explain why the problem
    occurred and which actions led to the reason for this problem.
    5. Formulate possible solutions to the problem. Think about how you would
    solve this problem and what actions you would undertake to eliminate the
    impact of negative circumstances.
    You may wish to find solutions to a problem on the internet if you have a
    generous amount of time.
    Don’t be discouraged if the solutions you’ve developed are different from
    those proposed by experts.
    You may think their solutions are better than yours. Just try to do your best.
    Think big and be creative with a non-typical solution! Main Steps On Writing
    Case Study Analysis After making a basic case study analysis, we can get
    down to the specific steps of an in-depth analysis.
    As a rule, a case study outline includes the following points:
    1. Introduction – Write an introduction where you identify the key problem
    and make a summary of the thesis statement in 1 or 2 sentences.
    2. Background Information – Include some relevant facts and issues and
    conduct research on the problem.
    3. Alternatives – Describe several alternatives and explain why some were
    rejected. Describe existing constraints and explain why some alternatives
    were rejected.
    4. Solution – Provide one realistic solution to the problem, explain
    the reasons behind the proposed solution, support
    this solution with justification, include relevant
    theoretical concepts in addition to the results of
    your research.
    5. Recommendations – Identify specific strategies to accomplish the
    proposed solution, recommend further actions, outline an implementation
    plan. These are several basic recommendations on how to do a case study
    analysis. However, you can add or remove the sections depending on the
    particular requirements for the case study you’re working on. Now let’s
    switch to the case study format.
