HBS Cases: What Warren Buffett Saw in Newspapers

In 2012, legendary investor Warren Buffett made a bid to buy a troubled Southeastern US newspaper business just three years after declaring that his influential holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, would no longer invest in newspapers "at any price."

"Very smart people looked at Buffett's offer and wondered what he saw in the declining industry that others did not," notes Roy and Elizabeth Simmons Professor Benjamin C. Esty , the author, with senior case researcher Aldo Sesia, of Buffett's Bid for Media General's Newspapers , a new case study for Esty's first-year Finance course.

Buffett's motivation is only one of the many factors that Media General's president and CEO, Marshall Morton, has to weigh in the case. Eight days from a deadline to repay a $225 million loan or trigger a crippling default on an amended loan agreement, Morton has to take a hard look at the numbers, industry trends, strategy considerations, shareholder interests, and several other financing options and come up with a plan to save his company.

With Amazon.com's Jeff Bezos's recent acquisition of the Washington Post and sports mogul John Henry's purchase of the Boston Globe, there has been much speculation lately about the trend of well-heeled investors making bets on the future of print media. Yet Esty says the power of this case rests more in its richness as a teaching tool than in its topical appeal.

"When asset values are declining as fast as they have been in the newspaper industry," he explains, "you have to make a bet on the future: Do you have a viable business strategy, and if so, is it one of growth, of maintenance, or of decline? Given your beliefs about the future, you then need to design a financial strategy that supports your business strategy. Media General is a real-life example of topics that we cover in our finance curriculum such as valuation, financing, and risk management, and it brings together financial strategy and business strategy, a confluence that has long been a focus of my own research."

The case outlines the events that led to Morton's consideration of Buffett's offer to buy 63 newspapers from his highly leveraged company, which had experienced a 31 percent decline in revenues over the previous four years and a 90 percent plunge in stock price. Included is a summary of US newspapers' diminished circulation and advertising revenues over the past decade, as readers turned from print to more immediate sources of news. Coupled with rising printing, paper, and labor costs, the decreasing revenues created falling margins and increased leverage throughout the industry.

By the end of 2011, Media General, which also owned interests in TV broadcasting and digital media, was carrying high levels of debt despite deep workforce and capital expenditure cuts. It was a situation that led its CFO to express doubt that Media General could remain in compliance with its loan covenants. The decision to sell its newspapers-a move that would help raise the cash necessary to comply with a time-sensitive refinancing agreement-was announced in February 2012.

"The company's difficult circumstances brought to mind one of my favorite Buffett quotes," Esty shares. "He once said: 'With few exceptions, when a manager with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for poor fundamental economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.' That sentiment made his Media General bid even more intriguing as a case study topic."

Buffett's offer consisted of an asset agreement to pay Media General $142 million for its weekly and daily newspapers and real-estate holdings, and a credit agreement that included a $400 million term loan. Speculating about Buffett's apparent change of heart regarding newspaper ownership, Esty points to the investor's exclusion of the Tampa Tribune, Media General's largest newspaper, from his bid: "In retrospect, his targeting just the smaller papers is a big clue about his forecast for the industry. Unlike regionals or big-city papers, small-town newspapers don't have a lot of competition or good substitutes."

As Buffett himself quipped around the time the Media General deal (which did transpire) was announced, "In Grand Island, Nebraska, everyone is interested in how the football team does. They're interested in who got married. They're maybe even more interested in who got divorced."

Case study writing is an increasingly common assignment across disciplines. Case studies allow instructors to observe students applying their knowledge of a subject matter to real-life situations. While traditional academic papers require research and analysis, case studies require more of both. As with any complex writing assignment, case study writing begins with gathering all pertinent background data as well as projecting solutions into its opening paragraph.

An effective case study writing service should offer you the ability to collaborate closely with their writer during the writing process and give feedback on drafts, ensuring that you receive something exactly tailored to your requirements. Furthermore, these services do not charge additional fees unless additional revisions are requested.

This type of approach can elevate a company’s brand value while solidifying relationships.

Case study teaching methods are an effective way of equipping students. They teach them to think analytically, logically and creatively while helping them to comprehend complex issues which may not be obvious from reading only textbooks; something which is especially vital when writing business reports.

Case studies are research methods designed to conduct an in-depth investigation on an individual, group or event and its problems. Case studies can be applied across various fields such as political science, sociology, anthropology and business; additionally they can also be very beneficial when used for clinical and administrative studies. Most often this form of investigation investigates inputs and outputs within an organization – Lean manufacturing strategies, distribution plans or even new sourcing techniques may all fall under its scope.

Help with Case Studies

Help with Case Studies

Case Studies are essays or reports that examine real-life issues. You could write about people, organizations, systems, practices or services and typically focus on one central idea that you support with both primary data (from interviews or observation) and secondary sources of reading material (literature review etc).

Your task may require you to assess a problem’s context and suggest potential solutions, which requires extensive knowledge in that field.

Case Study Writing Help

Case studies are an engaging form of marketing content that showcases the results achieved by your business for one of its customers. They are frequently used to drive traffic, increase credibility and trustworthiness among prospective customers and convince them to work with your firm. Unfortunately, creating compelling case studies requires hard work – following all steps and guidelines carefully is crucial if they are going to be a success.

First, find a customer willing to collaborate on creating a case study with you. An ideal candidate will have positive name recognition within their industry and meet your target audience’s demographic criteria. Once selected, identify the problem and scope of the project by reviewing relevant literature that pertains to it in order to provide context for your case study and demonstrate how your case study provides new insights into this problem or offers different perspectives.

Once you have an interested client who’s willing to collaborate, the next step should be outlining and setting clear expectations with them for their project. This will help ensure the case study is finished on schedule while eliminating back and forth between you and them; which makes closing sales deals much simpler!

Finally, you must determine how you will format the case study. It may take the form of an essay or report document. Either way, in any event it must contain an introduction, problem exploration section and recommended solution section; with the former comprising brief but clear communication of both problem and urgency; while problem exploration section could include more details; it might include tables or charts as supporting materials; while final recommended solution must include comprehensive plans that address said problem.

Case study research is a unique type of qualitative research that explores a particular situation to deliver initial insights into a subject. It is often conducted in a limited setting when there is little or no prior knowledge about the topic.

For businesses, this content is an effective way to showcase the value of their products or services and demonstrate their expertise in a real-life context that is compelling to potential customers. Hiring a freelance writer or a writing service that specializes in this type of content can be an excellent investment for any company that needs to produce consistent, quality case studies on a regular basis.

When selecting a writing service to design a custom case study, ask for sample work from their writers and review client ratings and reviews. Look for a flexible revision policy that allows you to request edits and provide feedback to your writer until the final case study is exactly what you need.

While it may seem that writing a case study is an easy task, it’s far from it. It’s important to choose a writer with experience in your industry and who understands the ins and outs of your business. This is a skill set that many professional writing services have built up over time and can help ensure your case study comes out perfectly.

In addition, a professional writing service should be able to offer a wide range of writing services and have staff that can handle projects in any discipline. For example, they should have writers that are experienced in marketing, business, law, medicine, psychology, and other subjects that can be used to write compelling case studies for a variety of purposes. This flexibility makes hiring a writing service an excellent choice for businesses that need to create high-quality case studies on a regular basis. It can also reduce the time required to produce these types of content by freeing up your internal resources to focus on other tasks.

Writers with years of experience

Writing a case study can be an arduous task. To create engaging content that will engage readers and make their understanding of your product or service easier, an experienced writer must craft compelling prose that grabs readers’ attention and enhances comprehension of it all. Doing it alone may prove too time consuming or complex; hiring a freelance copywriter who specializes in case studies can save both time and ensure its effectiveness.

Hiring a freelancer or marketing agency to write your Case Study is a great way to free up time and energy for other projects within your in-house team. A specialized agency will have writers with industry knowledge, writing skills, SEO knowledge, storytelling techniques that engage readers, 24/7 support services, direct student-writer chats, free title pages/references as well as limitless edits; making them an excellent choice for your next project.

They offer researchers an easy way to narrow in on one specific focus while building on previous work or developing new understandings about it.

24/7 customer support

Offering 24/7 customer support can be one of the best ways to build brand loyalty and grow revenue for your business. Customers are more likely to trust a company that’s there when they need help, while it can reduce costs by improving productivity and efficiency. Unfortunately, implementing such support may prove challenging for small companies with limited resources.

Many businesses perceive 24/7 support as impossible due to the cost associated with hiring additional staff, training expenses and IT infrastructure upgrades. But thanks to modern technologies and automation solutions, smaller teams are capable of offering 24/7 service support for their clients.

Professional case study writers can save your business both time and money by creating high-quality content to enhance its sales and marketing initiatives. Their writers understand the research process as well as different writing styles; their attention to detail ensures your case study is accurate and complete.

Case studies differ from more formal scientific papers by focusing on an individual or small group and their behaviors. Case studies can also be used to analyze causes, effects or general principles in particular situations as well as examine how specific policies, decisions or actions might influence certain events.

No matter the research method employed, an effective case study must include a clear research question and purpose, to enable a focused approach. Qualitative rather than quantitative research methods should be preferred, while its case should be unique and applicable for providing deeper understanding.

MBA Assignment Help

Writing a remarkable assignment requires considerable research and an in-depth knowledge of its topic; this process may not come easily to all students.

Professors provide detailed instructions for MBA assignments that must be complied with to maximize performance and obtain high marks. Following these tips can help improve overall performance and secure top marks on assignments.

MBA Assignment Help

Case Study Writing

Business can be an unpredictable, complex environment that demands intense study and understanding in order to make sense of it. Therefore, many students pursue an MBA, or Master of Business Administration degree.

One of the primary challenges of an MBA course is creating assignments on various topics. Many assignments rely on case studies for analysis of real or hypothetical situations affecting organizations or individuals; typically formatted as essays or reports, with specific word counts assigned.

Although a student can attempt to write their case study independently, many find it easier and faster to work with professional writers. When selecting a service to assist with writing the case study for you, make sure it fulfills all academic requirements and has access to experienced writers from different academic disciplines who can follow specific instructions provided by you.

Case Study Research

Case study research is an empirical investigation of an individual, event, period, decision, policy or institution conducted in real life. It usually entails collecting both qualitative and quantitative data in depth in order to arrive at insightful judgments that deepen one’s knowledge about its subject matter.

There are three main categories of case studies: intrinsic, instrumental and collective. Intrinsic case studies explore unrepeatable phenomena while instrumental studies use single cases to generate generalizable findings and collective studies look at multiple cases to gain a broader appreciation of phenomena.

Case studies can be conducted in various ways, with two of the most crucial considerations being selecting an appropriate topic and ethical research practices. To do this, it’s crucial that researchers select an environment which is welcoming to them while being mindful of how they interact with those they study.

Case Study Presentation

An MBA (Master of Business Administration) degree is one of the most sought-after degrees available today, providing students with knowledge on managing businesses and solving common business issues. But earning this credential doesn’t come easily: students must complete numerous assignments requiring extensive research and strong analytical abilities – EduBirdie can assist students with these types of assignments.

Marketing is an integral component of an MBA degree. Students learn the fundamentals of business administration as they create effective marketing strategies for their companies. Furthermore, this subject covers industry trends and consumer behavior; all crucial considerations for any business.

Another essential aspect of the course is management information systems (MIS), used for data evaluation and decision-making purposes. Due to global financial turmoil, this subject has gained more traction among students; and now forms part of any successful business’s foundation.

Case Study Analysis

An assignment that asks students to perform a case study analysis involves studying an actual business situation and identifying any problems that need solving, proposing possible solutions based on research and experience, then writing all this up before concluding the assignment.

Professors typically present case scenarios and accompanying questions designed to aid your analysis. When this occurs, ensure you read carefully through it so you have an understanding of its contents, before taking notes during analysis of said scenario.

Once that has been accomplished, it’s time to explore alternative solutions. Use your notes from class to identify whether any issues raised in the case could be solved using any theories covered during that class period.

Different Types of Case Studies

Different Types of Case Studies

Case study research provides an in-depth examination of an event or situation. By questioning its social significance and uncovering new variables that contribute to further study, this type of investigation offers unique insights that could aid future investigations.

Information derived from specific contexts must also be “thick described”, giving quantitative results a more human face.

Case Method

Case methods differ from traditional lectures by allowing faculty members to guide students through an analytical process. It has become increasingly popular across several fields such as management, health care, and education and can take various forms ranging from directed questions asked by faculty to support student analysis to open-ended debate and group work sessions.

Case materials must provide participants with realistic constraints and hard decisions, along with real (or imagined) outcomes to foster authentic experience that allows them to identify their hidden assumptions, values, and biases.

Professors who use the case method in class often invite the protagonist of the scenario to participate in classroom discussions and provide incremental data on what was done and why. This provides participants with real-life practice while reinforcing their learning. It also helps participants develop intuition for handling emergent business problems, and become comfortable leading through uncertainty.

Case Study Help

Case studies make an excellent research paper topic because they allow the writer to thoroughly examine one event or scenario in depth. Such studies often cover various entities – companies, organizations, processes or cities – in depth. A well-written case study should capture its meaning while conveying it clearly and concisely to readers.

Research using case study methodology allows researchers to discover novel interpretations for previous research, as well as reveal unresolved conflicts among seemingly contradictory earlier studies that may help steer future investigations in important new directions.

When writing a case study, it is vital that the researcher fully comprehends its requirements and guidelines provided by their instructor or professor. Understanding objectives, scope and format can assist researchers with choosing appropriate methods for analysis; using a case study help website is one way of making sure this happens correctly.

Case Study Method

The Case Study Method is an active learning technique utilized across various fields and professions, such as education, business and law. Students use it to investigate real-life situations before responding to them using research, discussion and creative problem-solving skills. Furthermore, case study learning can provide students with a realistic preview of the challenges and pressures associated with professional environments by simulating real life scenarios as closely as possible.

Case study research can often be divisive due to its intensive and unique nature; generalisations from this research may prove elusive due to its subjective and subjective approach. Furthermore, cases may present their own idiographic or even nomothetic challenges which further compound this challenge.

Dependability of case study results is of critical importance. Guba and Lincoln suggest that, just as with quantitative research, case study reliability can be achieved via what Geertz termed ‘thick description”. This involves providing detailed and rich accounts of a case’s setting so as to allow other researchers to accurately evaluate its probabilities of transferability.

Case studies provide an in-depth examination of an event or individual. Written as either an essay or report, case studies often feature sections for methods, results, and discussion as well as narrative approaches that explore multiple angles while considering meaning and implications. According to Robert Stake there are three forms of case study research: intrinsic, instrumental, and collective.

Writing a case study can be difficult when you have multiple priorities. A professional case study writing service can save time and effort by managing the entire project on your behalf, producing compelling case studies that resonate with prospects. They offer academic as well as marketing styles to meet any deadline or budget – to request one simply place an order with clear instructions for its production.

HBR Case Study Solutions

Case studies are an effective method for investigating specific real-life problems, and are an invaluable way to analyze and address them effectively in business settings.

There are a wide array of writing companies online offering HBR case study solutions at reasonable prices for students, but be wary when choosing one – some may charge hidden fees and may lead to unexpected financial surprises!

HBR Case Study Solutions

Analytical thinking is the ability to analyze information and make logical decisions – an invaluable skill for success in life and work. You can use information from multiple sources and evaluate it logically or algorithmically, helping solve problems or make more sound business decisions on the spot.

Employers value analytical thinkers because they’re more likely to reach logical solutions and respond more resourcefully when faced with business issues, providing innovative ways of overcoming any obstacles or roadblocks they encounter. Analytical thinkers also possess an uncanny knack for seeing trends others fail to perceive.

If you want to improve your analytical thinking skills, try keeping your mind active by asking questions about what you’re reading and engaging in active thinking exercises. This will enable you to spot logical fallacies as well as understand how people use words – for instance noticing that one colleague uses “always” differently from what it actually implies.

Problem identification is a key step of engineering design processes. Without accurately identifying problems, solutions cannot be generated; yet this step is often neglected despite being essential to any successful project and often avoided altogether, saving both money and time with trial-and-error attempts that often prove unsuccessful.

This step involves developing clear, straightforward problem statements to pinpoint what is preventing the goals and objectives identified in Step One from being met. It should take into account both existing and potentially emerging issues; for instance, to reduce traffic crashes requires engineering solutions at both link level as well as corridor rest areas and safety education initiatives.

Considered and considered are various solutions, their potential implications, and what each may entail before proposing the most suitable alternative to address and resolve the problem. Doing this ensures that it has been addressed and resolved successfully.

Identification is the first step toward solving any problem, and requires closely reviewing a case study, all relevant facts, and the outcome of any situation. Furthermore, it involves identifying its cause as well as devising solutions for it.

If you’re having difficulty with finding a solution for a problem, it is always beneficial to explore multiple possible approaches in order to identify the optimal one and avoid making decisions that will have negative repercussions in the future.

Furthermore, it aids the development of research and analytical skills while offering realistic scenarios of professional environments and improving reading habits. Furthermore, it encourages students to be more ethical while deepening understanding on ethical matters – making it perfect for advanced technological programs, but not basic training courses.

Case studies are research techniques used to explore one specific case. Case studies can be applied across various fields such as politics, sociology, anthropology, business and clinical science; thus making them an indispensable research tool. Case studies allow researchers to see things from an alternative viewpoint while making observations over time.

Financial case studies allow companies to examine the numbers that they are currently seeing, in order to identify what factors contribute to those numbers and which could potentially cause problems within their finances. A financial case study can assist a company in understanding what changes they should implement in order to improve financial performance and increase profitability.

Case studies are an integral component of business education and provide students with an opportunity to understand real-life business situations that they will likely come across during their careers. Case study solutions can be beneficial in this regard, offering analysis and recommendations on what actions should be taken – helping them pass classes more easily as well as increasing their chances of finding employment in the future.

Hire Someone to do MBA Case Study Solution

MBA case studies immerse students into the role of business leader and provide them with experience making complex decisions in a VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) world. Furthermore, case study methods promote interaction amongst the students and foster collaboration.

Our exceptional writers understand that creating an outstanding case study requires intensive research. That is why they collaborate closely with clients to ensure they fully comprehend both its objectives and requirements.

buy hbs case study

The case study method is an increasingly popular way of learning at business schools. Based on actual and hypothetical business scenarios that encourage class interaction and discussion, most cases are created in collaboration between faculty experts and businesses to reflect real problems facing business leaders.

Case studies help students put themselves into the shoes of managers and think like them, honing analytical, reasoning, leadership and decision-making skills while teaching students to trust their educated instincts.

Business schools frequently employ case studies in their MBA programs, providing an immersive learning experience that engages both emotionally and intellectually with problems that face students. Cases feature narrative arcs to draw them in emotionally, with motivation to solve the issue giving rise to feelings of achievement upon solving it; additionally they give graduates an holistic view of a company which prepares them for various corporate situations after school graduation; moreover a significant number of case studies focus on international business allowing for increased career options post-graduation.

An effective thesis statement serves two functions in your writing: it guides and directs what ideas will be explored throughout an essay; and it informs your readers as to what you will argue or support in it. An ideal thesis statement strikes an effective balance between generalization and specificity in its details, being easily understandable for readers while clearly showing which type of paper it belongs.

A strong thesis statement conveys an opinion or judgment the writer has formed based on readings or personal experience, often counterargument to what may be considered the accepted view on any given topic. For instance, Tocqueville believed domestic roles gave women most power – something many today would disagree with.

Ideally, the topic you write about should be arguable rather than factual. Factual information can easily be proven, while opinions or arguments about those facts would make for more engaging papers compared to writing solely about facts such as how half of American elementary school children consume more sugar than recommended; writing about foul language in movies might not make for such an engaging essay.

Management classes teach you to lead groups of people within an organization. Your professors want to assess whether you have what it takes to become an effective leader; by seeing how well you examine cases and come up with solutions they are assessing whether you possess these traits in future.

Case studies present students with real or hypothetical business scenarios to solve. Usually, cases feature companies facing difficult decisions or facing difficulties that need to be overcome, along with potentially significant statistical data or findings that students must find solutions for.

When writing a case study analysis, it’s crucial that each recommendation be grounded in and supported by the specific case context. Furthermore, make sure your recommendations are reasonable as well. Finally, proofread and have someone else review your analysis for grammar or typos errors.

As a management student, you will be expected to conduct investigations of business problems, evaluate alternative solutions and propose the most effective one using evidence as support. This form of learning helps develop an analytical mind frame while simultaneously preparing you for real-life situations you will likely come across during your professional management career.

Your organization requires a realistic solution that will assist it in meeting its objectives. Furthermore, detailed plans must be included for implementation – this is an integral component of case study analysis that should not be neglected.

At this final stage, it’s essential that you write up your conclusions and offer any relevant recommendations based on the research conducted and findings uncovered during this step. However, avoid oversuggestions, as these could become confusing and difficult for readers to follow. Ensure your recommendations are practical and feasible while being supported by data gleaned from exhibits.

Write a Case Study for me

Case studies provide an in-depth portrait of an individual or group, going beyond statistical analyses in order to gain a deeper understanding of people’s lived experiences and perceptions.

Our writers possess extensive experience turning data, statistics and success stories into compelling case studies that will engage your target audience.

How to Write a Case Study?

Case studies can demonstrate to potential customers that you possess the expertise and knowledge required to help solve their issues. Case studies can also act as social proof, increasing your chances of converting visitors into customers.

Start the case study off by detailing the problem your customer faced, their business challenges and objectives as well as why they weren’t meeting these goals prior to working with you.

Explain how your product or service provided a successful outcome for your client and included any important project details, such as timeframe and team involvement. Depending on your format choice, an executive summary could also be included at the beginning or as part of subtitle text or even “About Us” sections.

Choose a Case Study Topic

Finding an appropriate case study subject will help you reach the prospects you wish to attract. A good rule of thumb would be choosing a client who has experienced real and measurable benefits from using your product or service.

Avoid making assumptions and stick to facts when discussing alcoholism as a possible contributory factor for mental illness in others. It would be improper, for example, to use alcoholism as a case study and suggest this might have contributed to others developing mental illnesses.

Apptio’s case study on Rovio serves as an exemplary demonstration of how to leverage any subject. It includes takeaways at the start, so prospects can quickly access what they need; additionally, engaging headers keep readers engaged throughout.

Write The Introduction

Case studies are an effective way of showing prospective customers how your products or services have helped one of your existing customers overcome specific challenges, making your solution seem even more attractive and convincing them that your solution is their perfect match.

Case studies that engage readers are the ones that tell a captivating tale and should be read thoroughly from start to finish. They must identify a problem that causes tension, explain its solution, and demonstrate how your product assisted the customer achieve their goals. Therefore, setting an effective case study requires providing some background on your customer such as industry size or product. Also include quick results stats near the top of the document so readers can better relate.

Write The Body

An effective case study should feature the success story of one or more customer heroes who overcome an obstacle and find success by using your product or service. Your audience should be able to see themselves as part of this story and identify with any obstacles they’re encountering along the way.

Include all the findings from your research as well as potential hurdles you anticipate encountering while carrying out this project. Explain why the problem you are investigating is relevant, and how you plan to address it.

Make sure that your case study is skimmable and visually engaging by including charts, graphs, images and customer quotes in it. Keep it as short and succinct as possible without losing its core message.

Write The Conclusion

Case study conclusions can often go overlooked, either because students lose interest or want to finish quickly, yet these final pages of any case study must not be neglected.

Your conclusion should summarize the main points from your analysis and demonstrate how your recommendations can assist in solving similar problems. In addition, be sure to note any limitations or opportunities for future research that have arisen as part of this investigation.

An effective case study should create an engaging narrative and highlight its most impressive results with ease. It should persuade CFOs of your product’s ability to improve their financial situation or IT workers that it will make their jobs simpler, as well as show prospects they are in safe hands if they decide to work with you.

Case Study Analysis Help

Case study analysis is an in-depth exploration of an everyday situation, rather than traditional research papers that use secondary data sources, like interviews and observations.

Your project can also incorporate additional theoretical data from course readings or case studies related to similar subjects, and should be well-structured and logically organized.

Case Study Analysis Help

If your professor has provided questions to assist in framing your case study analysis, use these as guides when reviewing the scenario. Otherwise, start by gathering an overall overview of what’s happening and identify key stakeholder groups, issues and events as well as their relationships between each other.

At this first reading, it is essential to pay close attention to the behavior and motivations of stakeholders as well as any information that appears contradictory or extraneous.

Step two is identifying the core problem and associated symptoms, so as to create an accurate picture. Your paper must contain clear, comprehensive descriptions of both its causes and effects. Likewise, all problems should relate to models or theories discussed in class or assigned readings. Establishing the core issues also plays an integral part in creating recommendations to solve case-study problems effectively; failing to properly define core problems could lead to ineffective solutions or unexpected repercussions.

Case study analysis involves conducting an in-depth examination of a real-life situation, often used in business, social sciences and other fields to gain better insight into a specific issue or situation. Its aim is to create new understanding, illustrate theories or test hypotheses.

Case study scenarios often feature problems of various forms and severity that range in impact, severity and relative importance to an organization. They can manifest in its decision-making, operational or cultural structures or manifest as demands and claims from external stakeholders.

Once the core issues have been identified, it’s important to explore alternative solutions. This step should include an evaluation of strengths and weaknesses, risks and their impact on long-term and short-term goals as well as whether these solutions could create any additional issues. Be prepared for discussion regarding any unintended ramifications such as new issues arising as a result. If there’s original data that won’t fit with the main body of your paper’s text then consider including it in an appendix section instead.

Step two of a case study involves identifying possible solutions that could alleviate the symptomatic conditions impacting an organizational setting. This can be accomplished by analyzing alternatives using criteria set forth in problem analysis section, then comparing and contrasting their respective strengths and weaknesses as solutions or courses of action. It may be beneficial to use anecdotal evidence from personal experience or other sources for additional input.

Once you have reviewed all available options, it is necessary to propose specific courses of action and justify why these are the optimal solutions. This section should combine with your alternative solutions section and should provide a thorough account of how you would implement your recommendations based on course readings, class discussions and research findings; introspectively consider their relationship with course content/reading assignments/practical case study scenario(s).

After reviewing the main problems and solutions presented in your case study scenario, it’s important to come up with recommendations tailored specifically to your research. Be sure to justify why these suggestions are relevant and practical according to what you learned through analysis.

Recommendations must reflect what you’ve learned through analysis and be implementable within the case study context. Furthermore, it is crucial that you consider their implications on issues like equity and inclusion when making recommendations.

Our professional case study writing service features an experienced team of writers from academic and industry backgrounds. Their collective expertise allows them to produce high-quality and insightful case studies across a range of subjects and industries, conducting in-depth research and data collection to ensure accurate representation.

Best Buy is a consumer electronics retailer with nearly 2,000 stores worldwide. In 2012, the rising popularity of price-matching apps for mobile phones made price differences between retailers transparent, online and offline. Shoppers' desire to test electronics first-hand before purchase drove them to use Best Buy stores as "showrooms" to see new products and then search for better deals on their smartphones. This case examines how brick-and-mortar stores battle showrooming through changes in product assortment, the development of apps, loyalty programs and changes in pricing policy. The case asks whether Best Buy can survive by permanently price-matching their online-only competitors, primarily Amazon, despite having higher costs.

Learning Objectives

The case is intended to illustrate the effects of new mobile price-comparison apps on offline retailing via consumers' change in shopping habits, e.g., the act of "showrooming." Students learn to identify the root causes of the problem and map out possible solutions for brick-and-mortar retailers trying to avoid people going to their stores, comparing electronics and other durables, and then searching online for a cheaper price and purchasing online. Further, the case is intented to help students compare the strategies utilized by traditional retailers to counter the price awareness that price-comparison apps grant to consumers.
