The BUSI 335 Week 4 method, step by step
Read the case for facts, not impressions
List the facts of the case first. Analysis that rests on a misread detail is the most common way case answers lose points.
Name the central problem
State the main problem in one sentence. Many cases contain several issues; the strongest answers say which one drives the rest.
Apply the course framework
Use the model or concepts from Leading Change to analyze the case. Name the framework, then work through it with the case facts, step by step.
Weigh the options
Lay out two or three realistic options, with the benefit and the cost of each. Graders look for judgment, which means showing what you rejected and why.
Recommend and justify
Choose one course of action and defend it with evidence (At least 2 peer-reviewed journal articles in addition to the textbook and the Bible). Include how you would implement it and how you would know it worked.
Answer every question asked
If the case comes with questions, answer each one under its own heading, in order, within Varies with the case requirements.
Compare approaches on the case's facts, recommend one, and support it with an article. A clear choice is stronger than listing every option.
A structure for BUSI 335 Week 4 Case Study 2
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,300 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Case background | The organization and its change. | ~160 words |
| Answers to the questions | One heading per question. | ~810 words |
| Biblical perspective | Scripture. | ~160 words |
| Conclusion | Lessons. | ~180 words |
A topic angle that works
Chapter 6 concerns implementing change through different approaches. If the case asks what the leader should have done, compare two approaches and choose one.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
What should the CEO have done differently? A participative approach, involving managers in designing the new structure, would have built ownership that the top-down announcement lacked. Research shows participation increases commitment, though it takes longer; given that the case company faced no immediate crisis, the extra time was affordable.
