The BUSI 443 Week 3 method, step by step
Read the case for facts, not impressions
Read the case in Case Study 2 and list the facts that matter: who is involved, what happened, what constraints exist. Separate facts from assumptions before analyzing anything.
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 Workforce Planning and Employment 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
Make a clear recommendation supported by sources (At least 2 peer-reviewed sources along with the course materials), with the first steps of implementation.
Answer every question asked
Check the case questions one last time. Each one needs a direct answer, clearly labeled, within 3 to 5 pages.
Compare recruitment sources by quality of hire and cost, using any figures in the case. Heneman's ideas of a realistic job preview and targeted messages often answer case questions on recruiting.

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.
The firm relies on a job board that produces many applicants but few qualified ones; only 1 in 40 reaches an interview. Employee referrals produced fewer applicants but a much higher interview rate and longer tenure. Research on referral hiring supports expanding a referral program with a modest bonus, which costs less per hire than the job board.
