I need to know the form of writing to use to complete a 1 page report
on a hypothetical business incident found in textbook, "Critical
Incidents in Management", assembled by Kevin Leffler. Pearson Custom
Publishing. 1999

Dear tracelace:

Having been a business school student myself, let me share a structure
with you that worked well for me.

1.  A brief overview of the situation.  What is the "problem" that the
persons in the case are trying to solve?

2.  Who are the main persons in the case, and what are their roles? 
What are their relationships to one another?  Are any placed in
conflict with one another?

3.  How did the persons in the case analyze the problem? What did they
do to try to solve it?  Were they successful?

4.  Do you agree or disagree with how they tried to solve the problem?
 Would you have done something differently?  If so, what would you
have done, and what do you think the outcome would have been?  Whether
you agree or disagree with their actions, make sure you draw upon
material in the case to support your position.  Frequently there is
data you can analyze or other information provided that the characters
in the case may or may not have used correctly to formulate their
solution to the problem.

I hope you find the above outline helpful to you.

Sincerely,

Wonko
