Use marketing concepts from your chapters and references to analyze the case. Don’t spend too much time summarizing the case – a few sentences will be sufficient since I have read the case already.
Your analysis should include a SWOT analysis which can be part of the critical issue section. Your alternatives and recommendation should link back to your critical issues and SWOT analysis.
The body of your analysis should not exceed 6 pages, double spaced, 12 point font. You also should include a title page and a reference page. Cite all of your references properly in APA format (APA 6th edition or higher).
