 INSTRUCTIONS:
 You have been assigned only one business case. The Case # is printed against your
registration ID. For example, if you have been assigned Case # 1, go to page number 398 of
the text and start working on Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc., 2015. For other cases, go to
the correct page number(s). Work only on the case assigned to you.
 You are required to study the particular case assigned to you in depth and analyze the
facts presented therein.

 You are then required to write the first part of a case analysis by following the steps
outlined hereunder, which correlate to the early stages in the strategic-management
process and the chapters in the text. The case analysis should be approximately 500-1000
words. Remember – quality is more important than quantity.

 The case analysis should be in printed form – MS Word, on A-4 sized paper, Times New
Roman, font size 12. You may use a smaller font in the matrices. Proper headings and
paragraphing is of utmost importance – especially in the matrices.

 After writing the first draft, check to make sure that all recommended steps have been
followed. Construct matrices with columns and rows and proper numbering – see text.

 Finally, check your case analysis for number of words as well as grammar, spelling, and
punctuation errors. Do a ‘Review’ through MS Word before submission.

 Failure to follow the above instructions will result in loss of marks.

 Don’t wait until the last moment to upload your case analysis. Beware of Murphy’s Law!

The recommended steps to be followed in writing the case analysis are as follows:

1. Identify the firm’s existing vision, mission, objectives, and strategies.

2. If the firm has already developed vision and mission statements, please re-write vision
and mission statements using the guidelines suggested in the text. If the firm doesn’t have
up-to-date vision and mission statements at this time, please create fresh vision and
mission statements using the guidelines suggested in the text.

3. Construct an External Factor Evaluation (EFE) Matrix for the target firm. (a total of
12-15 factors including Opportunities and Threats both) Do not intermingle Os and Ts.

4. Construct a Competitive Profile Matrix (CPM) for the target firm. (a total of 12-15
factors)

5. Construct an Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) Matrix for the target firm. (a total of 12-15
factors including Strengths and Weaknesses both) Do not intermingle Ss and Ws.

PLAGIARISM IN ANY MANNER, SHAPE OR FORM WILL RESULT IN ‘F’ GRADE!
