Rather students should : provide an analysis of the situation facing the case study company (e.g. in terms of the nature of demand and competition in the company’s industry, key problem areas, and key opportunities etc); identify and discuss the strategic issues the company has to deal with in the case study; discuss the means by which these strategic issues can be addressed by the company (business and corporate level strategies formulation and implementation); and use of appropriate analytical tools, including the use of charts and tables where appropriate. You are expected to demonstrate that you can use the tools and techniques of strategic analysis presented in the course. Both breadth and depth of analysis will be Business Report Structure 1.
