SELECTED CASE STUDIES ANALYSIS
This document has three short case studies that are considered classic. They are older but have timeless lessons. In addition, the case studies at the end of chapters 2 &3 of your textbook are good.
Deliverable: Read these case studies carefully and develop a short report (2-3 pages) to discuss the key lessons learned from each and the similarities/differences between the case studies. It is best to use a table of the following format for this analysis. You will need this table for a quiz on this HW.
Suggestion: For each case study, list 5 key lessons learned and then discuss (few sentences) how these lessons are related to each other. Same lessons can be learnt from different case studies (for example, many companies ignore the importance of technologies). Note: Please do your own research to get some additional information about these companies.
