At first sight the idea of paid solutions to case studies is reprehensible. But,
on reflection case study analysis has a number of inbuilt advatages over
questions set on interpretation of a piece of theory. To start with cases do
not have a long shelf life, probably only five years or so. Students demand
that lecturers be up to date in the companies they examine. For the lecturer
a current up-to-date case study has the advantage that a general solution
to it is highly unlikely to be floating about on the web.

Moreover the case study from issue to the student to the hand-in day may
only be three weeks or so. This helps to reduce the paid for solution
providers ability to generate a progressive specified degree of pass.
