Case Study Analysis – Assignment Instructions and Questions
Students will be required to prepare two pieces of written work during the course. Each piece involves a thorough written analysis of a case study. The analysis should provide clear answers to the questions below. For case study 2, the paper must not exceed 2 pages excluding references/exhibits, written in Times New Roman, 12pt font, single spaced, with 1-inch margins.
Case Study 2 – Incept LLC and Confluent Surgical (A)
Answer the following questions:
As part of the legal team recently recruited at Confluent Surgical, you were tasked to review the license agreement and analyze the company’s business strategy including its IP and regulatory strategy, product offering, value proposition, financials, and market attractiveness. Based on your analysis, which should include a summary of the factors and concerns about this investment deal, make a recommendation on the best path forward. You must support your recommendation with sound evidence based on your analysis.
For this assignment, start by presenting your recommendation up front for quick evaluation followed by in-depth analysis.
General Guidelines:
Exhibits do not count towards the length limit but cannot be primarily text and should contain specific types of analyses (competitiveness, cost and benefit, risk assessment, financials, gaps, etc.) and information that backs up the recommendation and is relevant. It cannot be an extension of the text.
This written assignment should reflect the student’s own ideas, analysis, and answers. Whenever the student is adding information where others have contributed, or non-original ideas have been included, the student must give proper recognition and reference. Please take the time to review the Academic Integrity Policy, which is published on Sheridan’s Academic Integrity Office website.
Avoid rehashing of case data. Case facts should only be used to support a specific line of reasoning. Assume the reader is familiar with the case.
Remember not to build your recommendation solely based on case data, which might have questionable validity.
When applicable, be sure to include a brief discussion of alternatives or strategies you did not choose and your reasoning for their dismissal.
