Description

 

Why Brief Case Study Reports?

Case studies provide students and teachers with examples that can illustrate principles, provoke discussion, and facilitate learning. A case study report is not merely descriptive but a critical exercise, typically an examination of a situation or institution with a view toward making recommendations. Case study analyses are included in many courses to give students a sense of the constraints involved in decision making. Cases are usually based on real situations, and require you to investigate a business problem, examine the alternative solutions, and propose the most effective solution using supporting evidence.

Many large and reputable organizations, such as Unilever and P&G, use business case studies as part of their interview process to assess applicant’s ability to solve complex business problems. Thus this piece of assignment will help you in achieving such objectives as well as further strengthen your critical analysis – even if you are currently working full-time.

 

 

Specific/Detailed Requirements

Case Study reports (2000 words)

This is an individual assignment. Students are expected to analyses and prepare a report for two case studies. These case studies will be discussed during the seminars. No outside research is required.

If your surname (i.e., last name) begins with the alphabet between A to L (e.g. Ali, Cheng, Jones, or Leung) you will attempt the following two case studies

Case # 1: Platform vs Pipeline Business Models: Are Airbnb and Marriott Right to Move into Each Other’s Turf? Case # 3: The New Amby: The Second Debut, Hindustan Motors

 

 

If your surname (i.e. last name) begins with the alphabet between M to Z (e.g. Mohamed, Park, Singh, Tan, or Wright) you will attempt the following two case studies

Case # 2 Digital Luxury Services

Case # 4: Sustainable growth in times of Crisis: L’Oreal Russia

 

Case Study Report format:

You will submit one word document. Total word count for this assignment is 2000 words, with 1000 words allocated to each case study. Please separate out the two case studies – and start the second case study on a new page. Each case study will have the following sections:

Identification and justification of the main issues / problems

Comments on effective alternative solutions

Proposed best solution, justification and its implementation plan

 

 

Identification and Justification of the Main Issues/ Problems: (200 words approx.)

Identified problems should be such that the decision maker could address them and that actions could be taken by the decision-maker to resolve them. A good problem definition keeps the case analysis tightly structured because everything discussed after this point is related to the problem(s) stated in this section. Each problem is stated in one sentence, and is NOT given in the form of a question. There should be no more than 3 problems identified. Please provide justification for each substantial problem identified.

Your justification of the identified problems should be supported by facts given in the case together with the relevant theory and course concepts learning in this unit as well as in other marketing units.

 

 

Comment on effective alternative solutions (alternative solutions already mentioned in the case or proposed by you) (400 words approx.)

There is no one correct answer to any case analysis. As is the case in real life, there are more than one ways to interpret a case and solve problems. The approaches, interpretations and recommendations of different students will probably vary considerably. This provides a useful opportunity to compare and discuss different analyses and alternative solutions, which is a common practice in real life before finally recommending one solution.

In this section you need to identify at least two courses of action. As a rule of thumb, you should identify two to three alternatives. Don’t present an alternative just to fill up the section. You should carefully and concisely identify both the pros and cons for each alternative that you identify. These are likely to be based mostly on the problems that you have identified. You might firmly believe that one solution is best. Still, you should provide a balanced discussion of all alternatives that you have identified. Use theory and concepts learnt in this unit or other marketing units that you have completed to

 

strengthen your answer where possible.

 

 

Propose best solution, justification and its implementation plan (400 words approx.)

Regardless of how many alternatives you propose, you should only present the most viable solution. Spell out your recommended program of action for the best alternative solution that you are recommending. Base your choice upon a critical evaluation of the “crucial” differences between alternatives. Indicate how you anticipate overcoming potential negative factors associated with your recommended plan of action. Don’t repeat information from the alternatives section. Simply state which alternative you think is best and why it is the best solution. Conclude with a strong call to action (i.e., how you will implement your best solution that you are recommending). Use different theories and concepts learnt in marketing to strengthen your discussion.

You must correctly use the Harvard style of referencing. (where required)
