Step 1. Case selection procession
▪ Pick up a case that might be of your interest.
▪ Read the case carefully and consider the key issues.
▪ Determine which aspects are the most important to consider. For each aspect/area of importance
identified, do the following (Suggestions):
o Identify key/relevant/critical items and compile facts, identify problems, elements for more
in depth analysis and record in comparative matrices. Use tables to support suppositions,
insights, observations and conclusions (if applicable / preferrable).
o Consider and document the actions that should be taken to correct the particular negative
impacts into positive or negligible outcomes.
o Determine the positive or negative impact that each item will have against one another by
evaluating the effect of these collective impacts. Be sure to discuss the positive and negative
influences caused by their collective interactions. For negative influences, recommend a
solution(s) to alleviate the potentially detrimental effects.
o Make sure to include your opinion and thoughts on the case study
