GUIDELINES FOR WRITING A CASE STUDY
A case study analysis requires you to investigate a problem, examine the alternative solutions, and propose the most effective solution using supporting evidence. Your submission should be no more than 2 pages and needs to adhere to APA formatting for spacing and citations. Include a title page, your case study (1-2 pages), and reference page.
Preparing the Case
Before you begin writing, follow these guidelines to help you prepare and understand the case study:
1. Read and examine the case thoroughly
o Take notes, highlight relevant facts, underline key problems.
2. Focus your analysis
o Identify two to three key problems
o Why do they exist?
o How do they impact the information security field?
o Who is responsible for them?
3. Uncover possible solutions
o Review course readings, discussions, outside research, and your experience.
4. Select the best solution
o Consider strong supporting evidence, pros, and cons: is this solution realistic?
Drafting the Case
Once you have gathered the necessary information, a draft of your analysis should include these sections:
1. Introduction
o Identify the key problems and issues in the case study.
o Formulate and include a thesis statement, summarizing the outcome of your analysis in 1-2 sentences.
2. Background
o Set the scene: background information, relevant facts, and the most important issues.
3. Alternatives
o Outline possible alternatives (not necessarily all of them)
o Why are alternatives not possible at this time (if not possible)?
4. Proposed Solution
o Provide one specific and realistic solution
o Explain why this solution was chosen
o Support this solution with solid evidence
5. Recommendations
o Determine and discuss specific strategies for accomplishing the proposed solution.
o If applicable, recommend further action to resolve some of the issues
o What should be done and who should do it?
