Case study analysis – group assignment, 20% of total grade
In addition to reading and preparing to discuss all of the assigned case studies, you will also analyze and lead the discussion on one case during class. Each case will typically have two students, and when that is the situation, you will be expected to challenge the views of your classmate. Please focus your analysis on the provided discussion questions.
A good case study analysis includes the following:
Specific details are cited regarding facts and problems of the case study. Instead of general observations about information technology or organizations that apply to virtually any problem, specific details are drawn from the case study itself.
At the same time, each case study is specifically chosen to illustrate general lessons. Thus, after analyzing the details of a case study it is appropriate to discuss how specific issues in that case study have broader application beyond that immediate case study and to the class materials.
Provide a balanced perspective in analyzing the case study. Include both pros and cons. When making a recommendation explain both the rationale for a recommendation (the why) as well as its feasibility (the how). Well-considered recommendations include discussion of potential threats to success as well as rationale for an organization’s ability to overcome them.Summarize your analysis in a set of no more than 5 PowerPoint slides. Use the slides to communicate the key points in a concise and direct manner. Submit the case study analysis via email to me (at swattal@temple.edu) – at the start of the session when the case study is to be discussed in class. The file should be in Microsoft Powerpoint (.ppt or pptx) format. In most cases, the instructor will call upon you to informally present the submitted slides during the relevant class session. A formal presentation is not required.
Please post your group (name and email id) as a comment to this post!!!

Journal – Individual assignment, 25% of total grade
Due October 18, 2014
You will be asked to submit a journal, documenting the key ideas presented in each of the class sessions. The journal should be about 10 double-spaced pages (2 pages for each day’s class). A key factor in the evaluation of your work is your interpretation of the key ideas presented and discussed each week and the quality of the management information that you provide. Your journal should be constructed individually and consist of the following:
What were the major topics discussed on that class day?
For each topic:o What were the key management issues related to the topic?
o What can be learned from the presentations and class discussions related to the topic?
Your journal should be submitted as a single document to me via email (swattal@temple.edu). It is important that you submit the journal on time. A late penalty of 20% per day will be assessed each day the assignment is submitted past the due date.
