Case: Li & Fung: Growth for a Supply Chain Specialist (HBR, HKU849)

General
For each case assignment, your job will be to investigate the firm’s problem(s) as they relate to Supply Chain and prepare a written paper for each case. The format of your paper should be as follows and not to exceed 5 pages (double spaces) excluding the Appendices section:
Executive summary – a couple of short paragraphs which summarize the remainder of the report
Background – use this section to lead in to your Problem Statement; identify symptoms, critical factors and the current state
Problem Statement – a succinct statement of the problem/dilemma/issue, preferably in a single declarative sentence; be careful to identify the real problem and not the symptoms of the problem
Analysis – apply operational models, course content, and outside research to support your position; logically discuss options, implications and tradeoffs
Recommendations and Conclusions – these should be your recommendations regarding how the organization should deal with the problem; they should be fully supported by the Analysis section
