I’m working on a management case study and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

The purpose of the case study is to let you apply the concepts you’ve
learned when you analyze the issues facing a specific company. To analyze a case
study, therefore, you must examine closely the issues with which the company is
confronted. Most often you will need to read the case several times – once to grasp
the overall picture of what is happening to the company and then several times
more to discover and grasp the specific problems.
Generally, detailed analysis of a case study should include seven areas:
1. Comprehending the Case Situation
2. Analyzing the company’s history, development, and growth
3. Defining the Problem
4. Generating Alternative Solutions
5. Identifying Criteria for Evaluating Alternatives
6. Making recommendations

To analyze a case, you need to apply what you’ve learned to each of these
areas. In what follows, details about each of the above areas will be provided.
