 What Is Case Study Analysis?

• Case study analysis is an integral part of a course in strategic

management.

• A case study presents an account of what happened to a business or

industry over a number of years.

• It chronicles the events that managers had to deal with, such as

changes in the competitive environment, and charts the managers'
response, which usually involved changing the business- or
corporate-level strategy.
 Why Use Case Study Analysis?

management

class/present your ideas to others
