This tutorial will help you navigate your way through the process of reading, analysing and responding to a case study.

Case studies describe real-life situations and events over a period of time. They may centre on a person, group, project or organisation. A case study assessment task requires you to analyse actual or potential problems and identify solutions:

• what is happening
• why it's happening
• how to solve the problem

You will need to use theories to develop solutions to practical situations.

There are three broad stages involved in a case study assignment:

1. identify key issues and problems from the case
2. research then link the problems to relevant theory
3. develop solutions that lead to actionable recommendations
