Analyze the case as follows, referring to the following steps:

Step 1: Situation Summary This step should provide a brief summary of the case and its key features. It should be ½ to ¾ of a page long.

Step 2: Problem Identification
The second step in your written analysis is to explicitly identify the major problem in the case in one or two clear and precise sentences. One way to identify a problem is to compare some desired state or objective with the actual situation. In order to define a problem there must be some type of standard for comparison. Possible standards include the organization’s stated objectives or goals, objectives or goals of competing organizations, etc

Step 3: Alternative Solutions This step involves developing alternative solutions and evaluating their contributions to resolving the problem(s) identified. The proposed alternatives should be consistent with the problem(s) and cause(s) identified. You should develop at least three possible alternatives. With each alternative, list at least three advantages and at least three disadvantages of each alternative – time constraints, feasibility, cost, contribution to meeting the organization’s objectives and possible negative side effects.

Step 4: Recommendation (Select the Best Alternative) Indicate the alternative you have chosen to solve the problem. It is important to justify why you chose a particular solution and why it will best resolve the problems(s). Implementation Steps
This is where you develop an action plan to implement the alternative you have chosen. You need to specify what needs to be done, by whom, when, where and in what sequence. Identify any difficulties that might be encountered, even if this is the best solution. Finally, you should indicate follow up procedures to monitor the implementation of your solution to ensure that the intended
