Instructions
Deliverable: A two-page maximum memo that addresses the study questions. The two-page limit is for text only. You may attach numerical calculations or other appendices as you wish (such as Excel files). Write the memo as if you were writing a recommendation to the major decision-maker in the case. You should start by stating your recommendation briefly and concisely and then articulate how and why you reached that conclusion. Use the following formatting: Arial, font size 11.5, double-spaced, 1-inch page margins.
Study Questions: To guide the case preparation, study questions are assigned to this case study. The study questions should help you think through the case, but the write-up report should not consist of disjoint answers to those questions. You should aim for clarity, strong organization, concision, professionalism, and correct grammar. Sources should always be correctly attributed.
