Case Study怎么寫|Case Study寫作技巧指導

 

在留學生essaydissertation的寫作當中，不同的留學essay有著不一樣的寫作格式和要求，Case Study就是非常特別的一種，Case Study需要我們在dissertation的開頭就闡述出Conclusion，然后再通過數據和資料闡述觀點的正確性，那么Case Study要怎么寫呢？下面讓我們一起來了解下。

 

Case Study需要在文章一開始就闡明你的Conclusion，然后再給出得出這個Conclusion的詳盡理由和依據；而并不是像其他dissertationessay中規中矩的寫出背景、簡介、論證等這樣的寫作順序。你的教授關心的更多的是你是如何闡述問題、清晰的分析過程，解決方法的理由以及最后給出的用來實施你的解決方案的計劃，總而言之，CASE STUDY寫作更重要的是過程而不是結果。截然是過程，那么分析問題就顯得尤為重要。下問題的七個步驟，希望對留學生們有用。

 

Using an organized seven-steps approach in analyzing a case will make the entire process easier and can increase your learning benefits.

 

1.Read the case thoroughly.

 

To understand fully what is happening in a case, it is necessary to read the case carefully and thoroughly. You may want to read the case rather quickly the first time to get an overview of the industry, the company, the people, and the situation. Read the case again more slowly, making notes as you go.

 

2.Define the central issue.

 

Many cases will involve several issues or problems. Identify the most important problems and separate them from the more trivial issues. After identifying what appears to be a major underlying issue, examine related problems in the functional areas (for example, marketing, finance, personnel, and so on). Functional area problems may help you identify deep-rooted problems that are the responsibility of top management.

 

3.Define the firm's goals.

 

Inconsistencies between a firm's goals and its performance may further highlight the problems discovered in step 2. At the very least, identifying the firm's goals will provide a guide for the remaining analysis.

 

4.Identify the constraints to the problem.

 

The constraints may limit the solutions available to the firm. Typical constraints include limited finances, lack of additional production capacity, personnel limitations, strong competitors, relationships with suppliers and customers, and so on. Constraints have to be considered when suggesting a solution.

 

5.Identify all the relevant alternatives.

The list should all the relevant alternatives that could solve the problem(s) that were identified in step 2. Use your creativity in coming up with alternative solutions. Even when solutions are suggested in the case, you may be able to suggest better solutions.

 

6.Select the best alternative.

 

Evaluate each alternative in light of the available information. If you have carefully taken the proceeding five steps, a good solution to the case should be apparent. Resist the temptation to jump to this step early in the case analysis. You will probably miss important facts, misunderstand the problem, or skip what may be the best alternative solution. You will also need to explain the logic you used to choose one alternative and reject the others.

 

7.Develop an implementation plan.

 

The final step in the analysis is to develop a plan for effective implementation of your decision. Lack of an implementation plan even for a very good decision can lead to disaster for a firm and for you. Don't overlook this step. Your teacher will surely ask you or someone in the class to explain how to implement the decision.
