The case study has two parts. Exhibits, etc. should be included if necessary.

Executive Summary (required for all assignments, not to exceed three double-spaced pages)
Introduction: Here, you will provide general background information for the case and introduce the main issue. This should be a single, short paragraph. Use your own words, not words from the case author.
Problem statement: Isolate the key issues from the case. When possible, quantify the problem (for example, "The Acme Company does not have sufficient capacity to meet the forecasted demand of 10 million units per year".) This should be a few sentences at most combined into a paragraph.
Environmental Analysis: Use up to two pages to succinctly describe the various issues that need to be considered. This is where you can summarize your analysis and incorporate the relative strengths and weaknesses. Discuss resources, market forces, competition, technology, etc.
