Here’s the description of the paper. The body of the paper will follow a fairly typical approach where you provide a
synthesis of the case in a page or two, define and discuss key topics and issues of the
case in another two or three pages, and finishes off by answering the questions
posed in the textbook. Those answers need to be written in a narrative that
compliments the story told in the case study synthesis and topic discussion—
meaning, Here’s the questions and the answers
