MAN 4633 Strategic Management in MNCs - Outline for Case Study Analysis The following outline is designed to provide you with general guidance on how to structure your the group's written case analysis and your PowerPoint presentation of the case. Remember , that your team's PowerPoint presentation must be posted to the Blackboard discussion forum titled "TEAM CASE PROJECTS" for the rest of the class to review. You will also need to email them to me directly using the blackboard emailing system. Your case analysis is due via the Assignment DropBox. The perspective you are to write from is that of a consulting group that has been hired by the organization that is the subject of the case. Your job is to analyze the issues raised in the case and to make recommendations to the client company based on that analysis. In conducting your analysis and formulating your recommendations, you are to make decisions based on the information known at the time that the case is happening, do not use your knowledge of subsequent events in your decision-making process (le, do not let the advantage of hindsight influence your judgment). Thus, the paper/presentation should utilize the following format: 1. INTRODUCTION - brleny introduce the company and put it in context. Be concise do not merely repeat all the facts of the case. Assume your audience (the rest of the class) has already read the case and knows the basic tacts IL KEY ISSUES Identity all those noted in the case. III GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS - Put the key inoues of the case in the context in terms of what, of relevance, is going on in the firm's external environment economically, politically, socially competitively that influences your possible course of action IV.
