Stamypor Case Analysis Guideline Uvt

Case Analysis (20%) (Individual)

You are expected to submit one written case analysis from among the assigned cases. Three

requirements you should keep in mind as you prepare your analysis:

1. The analysis must be individual work, and cannot overlap with your team’s case

presentation.

2. All submissions must be delivered in hard-copy at room K1127 (there will be a box

outside) prior to the very first tutorial in which the case will be discussed (prior to

Wednesday 8:45 am).

3. The case analysis should adhere to the following guidelines:

- 800 words max., two additional pages can be used for appendices (tables, figures,

etc.)

- Double-spaced, 1” margins, single-sided, Times New Roman 12 font, page numbers.

- Use correct spelling and grammar.

- Be concise – avoid passive voice and long sentences.

- Use bullet points to list evidence in support of your key points.

- Ensure that the use of course concepts is explicit and appropriate.

- Emphasize the evidence – eliminate unfounded speculation and opinion.

Strong case analyses will:

- Answer the questions asked.

- Make use of the literature and theories discussed in any previous session.

- Have a reference list, with proper in-text citations.

- Propose solutions that are specific, practical, and well-reasoned. Include a brief

discussion of alternatives you are not recommending and your reasoning for not

choosing those alternatives.

- Assure that any quantitative analyses are readily understandable (usually in an

exhibit). The reader should be able to replicate your work easily.

Strong case analysis will not:

- Focus too heavily on minor (but interesting) issues.
