How to Write a Case Study

You have to think like a practicing manager if you want to analyze a case successfully. As part of your analysis, it is necessary, but not sufficient to answer the following questions in enough depth to show that you have performed more than a superficial reading of the case’s content, and subsequently applied relevant theory.

  • What is the issue being presented or analyzed in the case? Focus on the main issue in the case if more than one topic is presented. Use your judgment to decide on which issue is the one that is potentially most costly to an organization if left unresolved. There are more kinds of cost to be considered than economic costs. Do not neglect them in your analysis.

  • Where did the issue take place? Consider this because you need to take into account cultural and environmental considerations that may differ from those of the United States, in your analysis.

  • When did the issue take place? There may be historic and environmental considerations different from those of the United States, which should be taken into account in your analysis.

  • Who was affected by the issues? In other words, who are the stakeholders inside and outside of the organization that need to be considered when formulating an analysis, and possible response to the situation?

  • Why did the issue occur? This may involve conjecture on your part. It is all right to speculate; just identify your speculation as such. In an empirical case, causal factors may be identified as such.

  • How would you, as a manager, apply the insights gained from the case to improve an (your) organization’s operations?

    Narrative answers that are written in grammatically correct, well-formulated English sentences. Each paragraph should be organized around a single topic, and transitions should flow logically from one paragraph to the next.

Case Study 30.1 Managing Change in the Urology Department of a hospital in England
What is the issue being presented or analyzed in the case?
The main issue being addressed in the case study is the ability to manage change in the
Department of Urology within an NHS hospital in England. Staffing and infrastructure are some
of the major difficulties that the managers within the facility are struggling to address something
that has been escalated by economic crisis in the country as well as changing regulation on work.
For instance the 1997 regulation that required NHS hospital to treat non-emergency patients
within 18 weeks seems to have disadvantaged the facility with the management being forced by
circumstances to outsource the service something that did not work in the long run. Despite the
action undertaken by the management to ensure that the facility operates effectively there seems
to be difficulties in absorbing regu...
