We are looking for an independent and original case study. Do not use case-study material from textbooks;
We do not want you to simply offer a description of the case; we want you to analyse it and use it as a way of critically engaging with some of the issues and concepts covered in the modules, and with the recommended readings;
A case-study is an exercise in inductive thinking – use your particular case to illustrate general features, principles and/or tendencies;
You should use BOTH academic AND non-academic sources. The latter might include market and policy research, company press releases, company annual reports and financial statements, articles in the general and specialized press, blogs, online newsletters, etc.
