Case Study Analysis
Case study analyses are investigations of situations or problems in order to examine or propose the most effective solution, treatment, or approach to solving or addressing the problem.
Analyzing a case entails looking at the situation fronm various angles paying attention to even the smallest details, as it is usually details that lead you to understanding a situation to its fullest and help you make effective decisions. To analyze a case study, follow these basic guidelines:
Read carefully Identify major issues Identify alternative courses of action Recommend a course of action Provide a rationale for your decision
Read Carefully
Every case study you encounter will be different. Read slowly and carefully, taking notes or annotating the document. If appendices are included, read those carefully too, as the smallest detail can make a difference in what you determine is the best course of action. Read tables and figures carefully, and interpret them in relation to the information contained in the case study.
Identify Major Issues
Your main job when analyzing a case study is to learn to identify major issues of concern. Details are individual instances of action, but details can provide evidence for how a major issue is being affected. For instance, if someone is consistently sending out poorly written letters with misspellings and grammar errors to clients, that’s a detail; however, that detail is evidence that the company’s reputation is at stake.
Once you identify major issues, look at how they are being presented or compromised in the case study so that you have a basis for how to effectively deal with the situation and solve the problem. Typically, case studies are written in chronological order, so it may take several readings to identify major issues correctly (O’Rourke, 2007) and from various perspectives.
Identify Alternative Courses of Action
This is where you put your course knowledge to work. What have you learned about how to solve certain issues through your course material and discussions? To identify an appropriate course of

A recommendation is a plan for implementing a certain course of action that you deem to b
SOLUTION
The case study analysis discussed in this paper is centered on the ethical issues related to the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. The study was conducted by the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) in Macon County, Alabama, between 1932 and 1972. The study aimed to observe the natural progression of untreated syphilis in African American men. However, the study participants were not informed about the actual purpose of the study, and they were not given proper medical treatment, even after penicillin became an effective cure for syphilis. The ethical issues surrounding the Tuskegee Syphilis Study have made it one of the most controversial and widely cited cases in the history of medical research. This case study analysis will employ SWOTT analysis, Fishbone diagram, and flowchart diagram to identify the major ethical issues related to the study and recommend a course of action that could have prevented the study from being conducted or could have mitigated its harmful effects.
