Many people, even some writers I know, still aren't familiar with case studies.
In simple terms, it is an account of an activity, event or problem that tackles the complexities you are likely to find in a workplace or business setting.
Aimed at helping interested parties find possible solutions to complications they are facing, it shows applied knowledge and skills at work.
A good study usually has the following features: 1.
It is based on real life (the issues presented can actually occur for real individuals and organizations) and contains details that are believable.
2.
It consists of many parts, each one ending with points for discussion.
3.
It includes sufficient information that it helps the reader to make intelligent decisions once they encounter the same difficulty.
Types of Case Study There are many types of such written studies.
In school, you will likely encounter them with essay assignments requiring you to analyze a historical case - taking account of the causes, consequences and lessons learned from them.
Marketing departments use case studies to illustrate to prospects how a particular product or service can solve their problems.
In some organizations, you may be asked to look into a situation (for instance, a successful project) and analyze how there were able to achieve those results, with the goal of attempting to replicate the same success in future endeavors.
In many businesses, case studies can take the form of a problem-oriented study, where you use cost-benefit risk analysis to determine opportunities for a company in a specific market.
The Language of Case Studies Since they are normally commissioned for professional use, it makes sense to write your case studies with the help of a business writing software.
Sounding more formal, while remaining accessible, is a tricky skill and one that a good software title can definitely help you with.
