This week, you will work on the Is One
Ford Really Working? within your text. Keep in mind the structure of your written
report as it is critical. All reports begin with an introduction to the case.
In it you outline briefly what the company does, how it developed historically,
what problems it is experiencing, and how you are going to approach the issues
addressing the questions at the end of the case. Do this sequentially by
writing, for example, “First, we discuss the environment of Company
X…Third, we discuss Company X’s business-level strategy… Last, we provide
recommendations for turning around Company X’s business.”
Make sure you use plenty of headings and
subheadings to structure your analysis. For example, have separate sections on
any important conceptual tool you use. Thus, you might have a section on
Porter’s five forces model as part of your analysis of the environment. You
might offer a separate section on portfolio techniques when analyzing a
company’s corporate strategy. Tailor the sections and subsections to the
specific issues of importance in the case.
In the third part of the case write-up,
present your solutions and recommendations. Be comprehensive, and make sure

together and move logically from one to the next. The recommendations section
is very revealing because it shows how much work you put into the case from the
