Assignment Instructions:

In examining the Italy case study, I have provided some questions to ponder below. these questions are meant to assist you with your analysis of the case.

For this assignment:

You will identify the problem.

Provide three possible solutions for that problem.

Choose one of those solutions as your recommendation.

Your analysis of the case will be provided in your presentation of your three alternative solutions and final recommendation. The report you submit should be between $1-5$ pages $($remember brevity is your friend.

The recommended format for this assignment is to write your report in four sections:

$1.$ Executive Summary $($providing a full overview of the problem, your three alternative solutions, and your final recommendation$)$

$2.$ Problem Statement $($main problem you discover in the case, remember that if you find multiple problems these might be symptoms to a larger problem$).$

$3.$ Alternative Solutions $($three solutions to the problem$).$

$4.$ Recommendation $($choose one of your three alternative solutions as your recommendation$).$

Remember to provide validation for your assumptions and assertions in the form of citations from the case study, course readings, and outside sources.
