Case Study: A Day in the Life

Each case study must be submitted in the form of an Executive Report. There is no strict standard form for such a report, but organisation, neatness, and professionalism are particularly important here. Remember that Management has a problem to solve and that it is your responsibility to communicate advice in this regard. Be concise and to the point. Longer is usually not better: the inclusion of irrelevant or unnecessary material will lower the grade received. The maximum length of the report for individual case studies is $2-3$ pages. While you should answer the questions for each case study, your report will be assessed according to the following $(2-3$ pages Max$)$:

Header: state to whom the report is addressed, from whom it is coming, the date, and a relevant title identifying the problem.

Introduction: present a brief statement of the problem, including all options available.

Analysis: present your analysis in a logical and easily followed fashion. Do not clutter this part of your report with page after page of computer output; instead, enclose your outputs and all the necessary details in an appendix, and give the appropriate reference in the analysis.

Recommendations: specify recommendations with brief and unambiguous supporting arguments.
