DETAILS FOR Part 1B: Describe the Situation you will analyze in the case study
Describe the issue or situation that you wish to deal with in the case study.
You can and should bring relevant information in from Part 1A if it helps you to be clear. Do NOT make me go back and forth hunting for something. The online submissions do not make that easy.
You should pretend that you either work for me, or that I have hired you as a consultant on this issue.
After describing the issue, try to indicate what you think the initial or perceived problem is and if you know it, the real problem or the root cause.
Also briefly say what your initial approach might look like.
NOTE: all of this is in one document that you upload per the instructions.
Format for Part 1B:
ISSUE OR SITUATION: you can do this in 1 to 3 pages
PERCEIVED PROBLEM: describe what you think the problem or issue is. This might be what the organizational members think the problem or issue is. You might change your mind later. This should be brief, no longer than 1 page, maybe only a short paragraph or a few bullets.
REAL PROBLEM: (optional) if you think you know what the real problem is state it here, no longer than 1 page, maybe only a short paragraph or a few bullets.
INITIAL APPROACH: describe how you think you might proceed and why. This will be brief, 1, maybe 2 pages.
NOTE: all of 1B should be in one document that you upload per the instructions.
