Case Analysis Assignment Description
Case studies present you with real life scenarios and situations that help to develop your critical thinking, problem solving and decision making skills in the relatively safe environment of the classroom. Whether the situation described in a case is fairly straightforward or is highly complex, the entire problem solving process involves 4 phases and eight steps outlined below.
The analysis process will involve four phases:
Problem identification and definition
The process of identifying and defining the problem involves three steps:
i) Reviewing the case and identifying and describing the relevant facts.
This step allows you to identify the key facts (the most relevant ones) so that you can
figure out what is going on before making a decision. Identify and stating the key facts
helps you identify the most important facts.
