Complete a 2-3 page (500-600 Word) essay --- the case studies of The Tylenol Murders, Chapter 2 pg. 39 and The Wal-Mart share the “Love” found in Chapter 3 pg. 58. (SEE ATTACHMENT)

Instructions: Use the following framework for your case analysis. Your case analysis assignment is designated above and can be found in your textbook. The 2-3 Pages Do Not Include References or Introduction page. Please CITE, CITE, CITE!!!

Step 1: Read the cases thoroughly with a view to understanding the Public Relations issues illustrated by each case. Make sure you discriminate between information which is relevant and that which is superfluous and/or ambiguous.

Step 2: Define clearly and concisely the basic problems (or issues) in the cases. Then identify the main issues. Do not be confused with "symptoms." Identify the key decisions to be made.

Step 3: Use the information and facts provided in the case to analyze the situation. This would include understanding the situation, an analysis of the environment (if applicable)-- for example, are there particular strengths and weaknesses, external opportunities and threats (SWOT analysis), etc. that should be mentioned?

Step 4: Based on your analysis from step 3 above, identify possible alternative strategy solutions to cope with the problem(s)/Issue(s) you have identified in step 2 above. State any assumptions you make, and feel free to make assumptions in order for the strategies to work. Evaluate the pros and cons of each alternative considered. This should form the main focus of your attention in the case analysis.

Step 5: Recommend a course of action (if appropriate), selecting the alternative proposed in step 3 above. Which would you consider most appropriate to solve the problems you have identified in step 2 above taking into consideration the analysis made in step 3? Include some specifics regarding how the recommendations may be implemented by the marketing team. Note: You should edit your recommendations based on the latest web-information that you can access by going to the company's website.
