"The participants gained a great deal of insight from your presentation and gave us very positive feedback in subsequent discussion and on the evaluation forms. They appreciated getting a deeper understanding of the Aum Shinrikyo incident and its implications for future strategic preparations."

Case studies are specifically designed and written to recreate the situations during the moments before decisions and actions become necessary. If the actors in the real situtation did not have complete information, the reader will not either, in a deliberate attempt to present the situation as it really happened.

If you want Thomas W. Shreeve & Associates, LLC to develop a case study, you will first have a meeting to settle on the subject, clarify the objectives, and agree on how the research and writing will proceed. The writer will need to get access to relevant documents, to interview officers involved in the events to be described in the case study, and to gather other information and exhibits to use in the case. After the writer has finished drafting the case study, the staff will ask you to review the case to make sure it is accurate and will lead to the objectives you are seeking. The time required to research, write, and review a case varies widely, depending on a number of factors including the difficulty of the material and the availability of sources.
