All case write-ups have a maximum of 3 single-spaced pages with additional material in appendices if necessary In writing the case reports, you should not waste valuable space in repeating information from the case, unless you wish to highlight that information. Remember that I would have read the case many times. Thus, you should provide your own insights about what you consider to be the most important points in the case. In writing your briefs, assume that you are a consultant to the company who is being paid to analyze the company's situation and make a set of recommendations. Be terse in writing the report.
