Ellet (Harvard Business School) draws from years of teaching students in MBA programs how to write case-based essays to create this text offering tips and practice on defining, analyzing, discussing, and finally writing about business cases. At the center of his instruction is how to recognize when an argument is required and what type should be employed. The writing section treats three types of essays: problem, decision, and evaluation, including examples of each. Five sample cases are provided at the end.
