Schnells has given a following model for solving case problem:
1. Identification of the problem (What is actual problem involved in the case?).
2. Determination of facts (What are the relevant facts?).
3. Suggesting alternative courses of action.
4. Analysis of advantages and disadvantages of the alternatives.
5. Selection of best alternative.
The steps suggested by Schnells are useful for students while seeking for opportunities; putting their own decisions lo test and verifying the results.
Tips to be observed in written reports and oral presentations and class discussions
1. Read the case twice, once for an overview and once to gain full command of the facts; then take care to explore every one of the exhibits.
2. Make a list of the problems and issues that have to be confronted.
3. Support any and all opinions with well-reasoned arguments and numerical evidence; don't stop until you can purge "I think" and "I feel" from your assessment and, instead, are able to rely completely on "My analysis shows."
4. Develop charts, tables, and graphs to expose more clearly the main points of your analysis.
5. Prioritize your recommendations and make sure they can be carried out in an acceptable time frame with the available skills and financial resources.
6. Review your recommended action plan to see if it addresses all of the problems and issues you identified.
