Content 70%

Output Quality The author did a very good job, both in terms of providing a good theoretical background and description of case study development as well as writing a well readable case study. My only comment would refer to questions stated at the end of case study (Chapter 3) which could have been more thoroughly addressed in the teaching notes. Someone may also both the case study as well as teaching notes consider slightly unfinished.

Other comments:

I really appreciate author´s efforts put into writing this thesis and his enthusiasm about the topic and his capability to have an objective view on discussed issues. I also value the capacity to nicely balance case study research approach with non-research case study with a very good story line. I believe it could provide a good foundation for an Ivey case study.

Questions or comments to be discussed during the thesis defence:

Due to the fact, that the author was extensively collaborating with me during the whole project, I do not have any case related practical questions as most of them were answered during our meetings or in the theses itself.

Thus, I will have rather only an inquisitive question. The author described some story hero archetypes in chapter 1.2. Can the author elaborate and identify these heroes also in his case study?
