· The Case Study Review should include (2 to 3 pages)
o This does not include title pages or reference pages
o This is at least 2.5 written pages (page 3 must be at least ½ of a page)
· Summary of the case
o This should be thorough enough (but not plagiarized (meaning in your own words)) to give a reader who has not read the case a very good idea of what is going on
· Answer to the questions at the end of the case which are based on the textbook readings or outside sources (these are not your opinion but you can include comments)
o Such as Question 3-14 asks you to use the value chain and competitive forces models to evaluate the impact of the Internet on book retail stores such as Barnes & Noble.
§ Page 60 of your text book discusses the competitive forces and the Porter model
§ Page 61 looks at information systems in value chain analysis (the model is in figure 2.14)

· In completing the case I want at least 3 in-text citations referencing the text book material or an outside source backing up your comments/answers
Present the paper in Microsoft Office Word document format. Name the file LastName_Case_Study_1.doc and submit it to the Online Venue (Moodle) by the beginning of Friday class of Week 3.

o Title page (in MLA the title is usually on the first page but, the instructor can request a title page and this is what I am asking for so that there is at least 2.5 full pages of content)
o No paragraph spacing
o Double spaced
o 1” margins (top, bottom, left and right)
o 12pt font size
o Times New Roman
