The BUSI 472 Week 2 method, step by step
Start from the need
Define the need the Group Case Project Outline answers: who it is for, what gap exists, and how you know. A plan without an assessed need has nothing to measure against.
Write measurable objectives
Turn the need into objectives that can be measured: who, what, how much, by when. Vague goals make the evaluation section impossible to write.
Choose methods that fit the objectives
Match each objective to a method and justify the match with evidence (Plan for at least 7 scholarly references plus the textbooks and the Bible in the final).
Plan the resources and timeline
Show the sequence and the resources. A realistic timeline makes the plan credible.
Plan the evaluation
Tie each objective to a measure and a time point. Evaluation is where most plans are thinnest.
Format and length
Use the template or headings the guide gives and stay within Not set in the guide; an outline of the 5 to 7-page final, in current APA.
Build the outline from the issues, not the case narrative: for each issue, list the stakeholders, the frameworks (economic outcomes, legal requirements, ethical principles such as utilitarianism and justice) and a tentative recommendation. Assign each section to a member and set a deadline for drafts well before Week 6.
A structure for BUSI 472 Week 2 Group Case Project Outline
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Case facts | The assigned case in brief. | ~140 words |
| Ethical issues | The issues the paper will analyze. | ~280 words |
| Structure and roles | Sections and who writes each. | ~280 words |
A topic angle that works
Identify the case's central ethical issues and the frameworks you will apply, since Hosmer's chapters on economic, legal and ethical analysis supply a natural structure.
