The BUSI 428 Week 2 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
Decide what the core problem is and say it plainly. The rest of the analysis should be organized around it.
Apply the course framework
Use the model or concepts from Strategic Management and Marketing in Healthcare 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 (1 scholarly source). Include how you would implement it and how you would know it worked.
Answer every question asked
Check the case questions one last time. Each one needs a direct answer, clearly labeled, within At least 300 words.
Run the PEST scan in your notes, then write only about the one or two factors that explain the case. A short response that ranks the factors shows more judgment than one that lists all four.
A structure for BUSI 428 Week 2 Case Study 2
Word targets are planning numbers for about 700 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.

| Analysis | The chapter concept applied. | ~310 words |
| Recommendation | One clear action. | ~140 words |
| Biblical integration | One connection. | ~110 words |
A topic angle that works
Use an environmental scan concept (PEST: political, economic, social, technological) to organize a short answer about the case's market.
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.
A PEST scan explains the clinic's falling volume. The economic factor is the new high-deductible plans at the town's largest employer, which push patients to delay visits; the technological factor is a national telehealth company now advertising locally.1 The clinic should add its own same-day video visits at a posted price, which research suggests price-sensitive patients respond to.2
