...Running head: CASE STUDY 1 1 There are many methods to case analysis to include the Brenau University method, the Marketing Management (MK715) method and the Hitt, Ireland & Hoskisson’s method. Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. This paper discusses those advantages and disadvantages and offers a hybrid approach to thoroughly analyze cases for the duration of the Strategic Management capstone course. Brenau University Approach The three goals of this case analysis are to analyze complex situations; to differentiate significant data from interesting data, and to practice decision-making based on generating alternatives. In this approach, students are encouraged to read the case three times to (1) understand the overall situation; (2) to integrate the reading with associated data tables and spreadsheets, and (3) to categorize thinking. This approach has five sections: analysis of the current situation; alternative solutions; recommended alternative; implementation of the plan, and consideration of other factors related to the results (Case analysis and presentation, 2010). Marketing Management Approach In Brenau’s Marketing Management course, students are taught another way to analyze cases as it applies to marketing. Although the process is geared towards analyzing marketing cases, it is applicable to other business scenarios. Seven steps define this approach, which begins with a summary of the background and facts. Students are then...

Data Collection approach and sampling 4. Data analysis and statistical tests 5. Key Findings 6. Conclusions and limitations 7. Appendix 1. Background and Objectives Research Topic: Implementing McDelivery services in McDonald's nearest Temple University Background: By conducting a situational analysis, McDonald’s located and identified a new market opportunity. The idea is to offer a new service of delivery, called McDelivery, to the students of 3 Temple University in Philadelphia to cater with their frantic and fast-paced lifestyles. The McDonald’s McDelivery service has been implemented in upwards of 25 cities across the world, including New York City. With the history of success that the McDelivery service has had, the owners decided to enter the Philadelphia market by focusing on students. Since this is a new project and the company has never proposed a similar service in Philadelphia, they cannot only base their decision on past experience, managerial judgment or internal record systems. Therefore, this opportunity situation requires more information before an appropriate plan and action can be developed. Thus, initiating a research process and using its practices and techniques to make the decision is the best option. The results...

...Running head: GAP ANALYSIS: GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS Gap Analysis: Global Communications University of Phoenix MMPBL/500 David Rollins May 17, 2010 In the last three years Global Communications has faced declining stock prices that have shaken stockholder confidence in the company. Increased competition from the cable industry and their inability to update systems and processes with new technology and contributed to their decline. Global Communications must identify future trends and threats if they want to increase market share and gain a competitive advantage. Gap Analysis: Global Communications In response to the external threats from competitors Global Communication has re-evaluated their current business model and has embarked on a new strategic plan. Whereas this new course may lead them to regain market share they failed to recognize the value of their long term workforce. Global Communications has to take action and respond to the external threats in the telecommunications industry if they are to remain competitive. Whereas these changes may bring success they are full of challenges. Examples of these challenges include implementing the new strategies so they succeed in improving the company’s current position in the telecommunication industry and effectively deal with pending litigation from the Union who strictly opposes the outsourcing of call centers to Ireland and India as this will contribute to laying off employees in the United States.
