2 Case Analysis Worksheets for Strategic Management Cases Abstract This paper, Case Analysis Worksheets for Strategic Management Cases, contains documents provided by the authors for use by students in the senior Business Policy course at Indiana University Southeast (IUS). It is a follow up to an accounting and financial audit teaching aid and tutorial paper presented at the 2008 Academy of Business Disciplines. 1 The purpose of this paper is to share with faculty, who teach using cases and who write cases, forms and processes that we have found to be successful in advancing student learning in case-oriented courses. THE WORKSHEETS The worksheets and forms have been classroom tested for over 5 years in our team-coordinated senior Business Policy course. They enable students to: Organize case information into categories and to identify salient points for each assigned case Derive and assess risk, performance, and control issues inherent in the assigned case Use specific terminology relative to categories of objectives and strategies, as well as apply strategic management textbook concepts Systematically analyze the current situation of a given organization and formulate and evaluate potential courses of action to create a competitive advantage for the organization Use a specified format to logically structure oral case presentations and written case analysis reports. Exhibit 1 presents a Case Analysis Form students use to systematically record and organize information as they read a case. The first page focuses on the categories of industry/environment, as well as the traditional functional areas of business (i.e., management, marketing, finance, and production/operations). The second page of the case analysis form contains categories for identifying stated and implied objectives/strategies, mission, the SWOT analysis, listing problems (or issues), and identifying potential future strategies for the organization that is the focus of the case. Both pages of the form are blank with the exception of the headers and italicized embedded items. There are numerous strategic management concepts related to each and students are to apply them, as appropriate, in the written analysis. These concepts are derived from the course required textbook by Hunger and Wheelen. 2 The attached form provides examples for a typical strategic management case. Finally, each potential strategy is to be evaluated according to a specified circuit analysis: Will the strategy accomplish an objective, will it solve a problem or issue, and what impact the strategy would have on the 1 Bauder, S., K. Voelker, and J. Rakich, Financial Audit Teaching Aid for Case Analysis, Casewriters Workship presentation, Proceedings of the Academy of Business Disciplines, Hunger, J. David and Thomas L. Wheelen.

3 functional areas if implemented. That is, why and how critical organizational functions must be changed in order to implement the proposed strategic alternative. Exhibit 2 presents a worksheet that outlines three strategic management categories students use in their case analysis. They are generic objectives (profit, growth, citizenship, and survival), corporate strategies (forward integration, backward integration, horizontal integration, diversification, and retrenchment), and business-level competitive strategies (cost leadership, differentiation, and focus). These objectives and strategies are fully developed in the Hunger/Wheelen textbook. Exhibit 3 presents a Financial Audit Worksheet. The instructor provides students with industry numbers for each ratio. Based on balance sheets and income statements contained in the case, or provided by the instructor 3, students calculate the company s ratios using the definitions in the left margin of the exhibit. Students are to interpret the calculated ratios relative to the industry averages (a cross-sectional analysis) and the prior years ratios for the organization (a time-series analysis) and then draw conclusions about risk, capital structure, performance, and control. The conclusions yield information that may be appropriate in the development of the SWOT analysis and the problem/issues section of the report. (See Bauder, Voelker, and Rakich for a full explanation of ratio analysis, a sample completed financial audit worksheet with industry ratios, and interpretation of results). 4 Exhibit 4 presents a Written Case Analysis Format worksheet that specifies the components required in the written case report. Information contained in exhibits 1-3 is used when students write each section in this worksheet. Together, these exhibits provide students with a process for synthesizing and integrating information contained in a case. Exhibit 4 provides students with a structured format to use in writing (or orally presenting) a comprehensive case analysis report. Our intent is to share these documents with faculty who teach using cases or write cases. We believe they will find them useful. 3 Income statements and balance sheets for a selected set of given years can be printed from Compustat. Recent 3 or 5 year statements for publicly traded companies can be printed from www. finance.yahoo.com or www. moneycentral.msn.com 4 Bauder, Susanna, Kathleen Voelker, and Jonathon Rakich.
