In general, case studies require you to read the entire case to understand the background in which the facts are set and the particular problem within the case. You will find that reading through more than once will help you better understand the dynamics. The following steps are generic to most case studies used in this course.

For purposes of this course, the final document your submission will be graded on the following parts with their respective subheadings:

$(1)$ Introduction of case or topic

$(2)$ Facts as presented in the case or topic paraphrased for the report

$(3)$ A summary of the area of Human Resource Management

$(4)$ Your Detailed Discussion of the case or topic, including personal conclusion. You must provide a sound rationale for your arguments.

Your recommendations should include a practical rationale. After all, you are operating in the role of a consultant; hence, you are interpreting the issue from the perspective of an independent party. Remember that your recommendations may not be viewed as a merely theoretical approach but must also integrate the application.
