Intuitive, first impressions of areas such as those highlighted above
                  should be built on. Try to identify key problems, assumptions, etc. and
                  why they are critical.



                  This will allow you to begin making sense of the material by reading

                  and studying particular sections of it more thoroughly. For example, at
                  this point a broad approach may be attempted through recourse to a
                  simple +  or  -  scale rating of these areas. This helps to draw attention

                  to those areas, which immediately jump out as requiring further
                  attention.









                               Position each of the columns  as a  + or a  -
                               to represent the contribution each makes to
                   +           the overall strength of the organization.

                  A further aid, at this point, is the recognition that TIME plays a major role
                  in case analysis. Consequently, any initial reading of the case is likely to
                  throw up differences between the areas under examination either between
                  the beginning and end of the case or before and after a critical event.
