This outline was formatted to these specifications.
For Group Case (Maximum of 3 each group)

Cases are to be written with the same care and attention as any professional business report. The
presentation should be clean, neat and concise, without grammatical or spelling errors. Contents of a
case report are expected to be:

1. Title page (Case Title, Your Name & SID, My Name and Date of Submission)
2. Table of content
3. Abstract*
4. Objective of research
5. Methodology
6. Body of the report *
7. Results and Findings
8. Conclusion
9. Future research
10. References
11. A separator page with “Appendices”
12. Appendices. (SECTION A)

Abstract*
An executive summary is a document that provides the reader with a quick overview of what is
contained in the ensuing report. It is a document that an executive will read before passing the entire
report on to an underling to review in detail. For a presentation or analysis of this magnitude, it will not
exceed one (1) page double-spaced. You may assume that the reader is familiar with the facts of the
case. In one paragraph, you will explain what was analyzed, what techniques were used, and what
alternatives were explored.

Body of Report*
The body of the case will be no longer than 10 (10) pages, typed, double-spaced. The usual headings will
be:
1. Situational Case Analysis
2. Alternatives, including the analysis of these alternatives.
3. Result and Finding

The situational analysis deals with the problem(s) in the case and the situation surrounding the case. It
should help the analyst and reader arrive at the alternative actions that could be followed. When
presenting the alternatives, some prefer to list the alternatives first and then analyze them; others
prefer to analyze each alternative as presented. I am indifferent. Do not include significant amounts of
data, large tables, etc. in the body of the case, instead relegate these to the Appendices. The
recommendation should follow from the analysis: The recommended alternative will be one of the
alternatives analyzed. You should be as practical as possible suggesting an implementation of the
recommendation.

Appendices
As you will not clutter the body of the case with numerical analyses and, data, these will appear after the
body in a well-organized and labelled appendix. Graphs, tables and, maps must be self-explanatory.
They are of little use to the reader if they need you to explain them line-by-line. Every appendix must
have a purpose, and must be referenced in the analysis. Do not reproduce case Exhibits from the book;
simply refer to them. Exhibits will be understood to refer to the exhibits in the case, whereas
Appendices will be understood to refer to the addenda that you create as part of your analysis.
