Instructions regarding the Group Formation: Every individual has been assigned to a particular Group consisting of 8/9 people. The list is present in the Excel sheet attached.

Every Group has been formed keeping certain parameters in mind, and thus we expect thorough analyses and a professional approach towards the Assignment.

Instructions on the Assignment Guidelines: You have to analyse the Case Study based on an organisation/company. Generally a Case Study is written keeping in mind a particular problem statement and discussion of alternative options to mitigate the problem. As a business student, you need to find out the problem in the Case and evaluate major solutions available and choose the best solution which would be logically viable for the company to follow. This is just a basic guideline on which a Case is written; however this is not all if the scope of a Case is considered.
