Course grades in BUSI 428 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 900 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week (except Module/Week 1) begins on Tuesday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Monday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The BUSI 428 Week 3 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
Bring the course material to the case: the framework, theory or principle the week covers, applied explicitly to the facts you listed.
Weigh the options
Compare alternatives before recommending one. Each option needs its advantage and its risk stated in the terms of the case.
Recommend and justify
Make a clear recommendation supported by sources (1 scholarly source), with the first steps of implementation.
Answer every question asked
If the case comes with questions, answer each one under its own heading, in order, within At least 300 words.
Before writing, rate each of the four Ps for the case organization as a strength or a weakness in a quick table; the weakest one is your answer, and the table gives you the sentence explaining why the others are not the problem.
A structure for BUSI 428 Week 3 Case Study 3
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.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| The issue | The central question. | ~140 words |
| Analysis | The concept applied. | ~310 words |
| Recommendation | One action. | ~140 words |
| Biblical integration | One connection. | ~110 words |
A topic angle that works
Apply the marketing mix (product, price, place, promotion) and pick the one element that should change; a focused answer scores better than four shallow ones.
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.
Of the four Ps, place is the problem in this case. The imaging center offers good service at competitive prices, but it sits in an office park with no signage and limited evening hours, so referred patients drive past it to the hospital.1 Extending hours to 8 p.m. and partnering with the two largest referring practices for direct scheduling would fix access, which research identifies as a leading factor in outpatient imaging choice.2
