ABSTRACT
The chapter showcases Harvard Business School (HBS) cases as well as hypothetical domestic cases as texts for launching investigations using new diagnostic tools to unearth latent intricate business problems and solve them. New innovative concepts have been deployed for case analysis, like (a) domestication of problems through the Anna Karenina Principle (evolutionary ecologist, Jared M. Diamond), (b) verification and falsification through medical patterns of diagnosis (medical practitioner and novelist, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) and (c) historicisation (critical discourse). The chapter also covers writing analytical reports and business proposals along with authoring business plans as entrepreneurial tools for attracting venture capitalists. It boasts of (a) two solved HBS cases in the form of analytical reports, (b) one solved domestic hypothetical case, (c) one written business plan on a hypothetical new business offering pitched in for funding, and (d) one written business proposal on a similar hypothetical business offering pitched for funding.
