The BUSI 335 Week 6 method, step by step

  1. Read the case for facts, not impressions

    Read the case in Case Study 3 and list the facts that matter: who is involved, what happened, what constraints exist. Separate facts from assumptions before analyzing anything.

  2. 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.

  3. Apply the course framework

    Bring the course material to the case: the framework, theory or principle the week covers, applied explicitly to the facts you listed.

  4. Weigh the options

    Compare alternatives before recommending one. Each option needs its advantage and its risk stated in the terms of the case.

  5. Recommend and justify

    Make a clear recommendation supported by sources (At least 2 peer-reviewed journal articles in addition to the textbook and the Bible), with the first steps of implementation.

  6. Answer every question asked

    Check the case questions one last time. Each one needs a direct answer, clearly labeled, within Varies with the case requirements.

Answer each question, then assess the case's communication against the chapter's guidance (frequency, channel, two-way dialogue). Close with what would sustain the change after the leader moves on.

BUSI 335 Week 6, sample answer section

How well did leaders communicate the change? They relied on one company-wide email and a slide deck, a one-way approach the chapter warns against. Employees heard about job changes from rumors before managers told them. Research on change communication finds that face-to-face conversations with direct supervisors are the most trusted channel during change.
