Case Study Method - Danielle O'Neill

The first step to the case study analysis method is to become familiar with the case scenario, such as significant facts, people and events, by reading the case lightly at first and more in depth the second time. After identifying the major issue, summarize the case in a short paragraph or two. The next step is to answer the questions that follow the reading, to the best of your knowledge, using the case as a reference. After that is complete, it is usually a good idea to summarize the case and questions so that if a person were to read your case study, they would understand what the case was about, without having to read it.
