Challenges and Opportunities of starting a business in the UAE

Writing a Case Study Guide There are usually eight sections in a case study: Executive Summary • Outline the purpose of the case study. • Describe the field of research – this is usually an overview of the entrepreneur and company. • Outline the issues and findings of the case study without the specific details. • Identify the theory that will be used. • Here, the reader should be able to get a clear picture of the essential contents of the study. The Purpose of a case study is to try between theories or generate new theories. Researchers can build up a theory and broadly expound through their exploration and testing when preparing through their preferred case study sort. First they define an individual circumstance for example an individual, business, business, or organization, in detail. Recognize the key issues of the case, examine the case utilizing important hypothetical ideas from your part or control and prescribe a game-plan for that specific case. We choose the business ice-cream boutique which is a business to do a case study on. The problem we have found is their marketing is that that well done, we have not seen advertisements. The theory that will be used is sociologists. Findings • Identify the challenges, problems and opportunities found in the case. Each point should be supported by facts given in the case together with the relevant theory and course concepts. • This section is often divided into sub-sections, one for each problem. First of all, we had a problem in choosing the best entrepreneur because we wanted to choose the one who has the best story to start their business, we found 3 entrepreneurs and we sent an email for 3 of them but one only responded, and we received late confirmation. We had difficulties in writing the questions for the interview. Discussion • Summarise the major challenges/problems • Identify alternative solutions to this/these major problem/s (there is likely to be more than one solution per problem). • Briefly outline each alternative solution and then evaluate it in terms of its advantages and disadvantages. • There is no need to refer to theory or coursework here.
