CHANAKYA OPTION 1
A reflection of the Mythology: As a part of our promotions, we intend to release few case studies every day on our Facebook page before our event. These case-studies would revolve around an incident or a character(s) from the mythology. The case-study would be less than half a page long and would include the context, the characters involved and a question at the end. This would be followed by a post regarding our analysis of the case which would be released on the next day. The analysis could use a present day management framework to come to a solution/explanation of what really happened. The analysis would be followed by a note on how the analysis could yield a message for the present day managers The Pre-process Task: Deliverable: A case based on mythology and its analysis in the same document (one page each) using the structure described above (include images wherever possible) An example of this is attached as a separate document

Note: Do not restrict yourself to Indian Mythology
