NATIONAL CASE DEVELOPMENT COMPETITION
USMS, GGSIPU
CASE DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES
Following is the suggested set of guidelines for preparing the case studies to be submitted for the
‘National Case Development Competition’ (NCDC) at USMS, GGSIPU:
Cover Page
Case Study Title: The Cover Page should include the full title of the case study. The title may contain the
phrase “case study” or “case report” as is appropriate to the contents. It is important to keep the title
short. In addition, the title should contain the name of the featured company or organization so that
faculty and students will know what to expect.
Author Details: Name, affiliation, contact information, academic qualification (including current class of
study) of the author.
Date: DD Month YYYY (date on which submitted)
Executive Summary
Executive Summary should be a short version of the whole case (upto 300 words). The author simply
tries to summarize the paper into a story which flows logically.
Provide the context for the situation and identify the protagonist. Include the situation’s time frame,
location, purpose of the company or organization, relevant business factors, and the goal of the
protagonist.
Important – Executive Summary should include a summary of findings as well.
Introduction
Introduction should include Current Situation Analysis and pertinent Background of the Company,
Industry and Competitors which may (or may not) be further segregated into two headings – (i)
Background of the case; and (ii) Case scenario. It should also include a synopsis of the relevant
information from the case analysis.
Body
This section may have only one heading or more than one headings as per the choice of the author.
Business Issues/ Challenges should form part of the Body of the Case Study including a breakdown of the
problem and the information available to the protagonist and central characters of the case to solve the
problem. This should include the essential company, organization, competitor, and/or industry
information that the protagonist had at the time of the case. Also, it should include enough background
information for the reader to analyze the decision point, which might include revenues, profits and
losses, and other financial valuations. If relevant to the case, the writer can also include historical
information, trends, direct quotations from participants and analysts, and essential tables and figures.
Sometimes portions of the protagonist’s career relevant to the current situation may also be included in
the case.
The case should introduce situations where students empathize with the protagonist and see the issues
through the eyes of this protagonist. The purpose is for students to learn to create their own mental
models based on assumptions made from the information presented in the case. Students should
become comfortable using the information at hand to form assumptions and make decisions. Students
need to learn to make a stand and defend their decisions.
The information presented in these sections should be directly tied to the protagonist/central character
narrative, including the protagonist’s biases and feelings as he/she goes about working through the
central questions of the case. Students should be looking at problems from a systematic perspective and
trying to solve problems based on the complexities of the environment, resource constraints, and
availability of information, and a general understanding that the protagonist situation is not linear.
The writer can also delve more deeply into the context and possible consequences of the decision point,
challenges, or central angle. For example, the writer could include the consequences for the career of
the protagonist as well as for the person’s company or organization. The writer can also include
alternatives available to the protagonist.
Conclusion
Conclusion may be spread over the following parts –
1. Bottom line of the case: This section presents the protagonist of the case
2. Case questions: The key questions (upto 3) arising from the case are presented in this section
3. Case solution (optional): The tentative solutions may be suggested/ indicated in this section
