Students work on an industry linked case study to solve a particular problem or attempt to answer a specific business question through the analysis of an underlying data set. Working as part of a team the students formulate the business problem that they are addressing, perform the data analysis and interpret the results and draw their conclusions. The results of the work are summarised by means of a formal written report. It is recommended that each student keep a reflective blog for the duration of the case study project.
