The BUSI 494 Week 5 method, step by step
Read the case for facts, not impressions

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
Choose one course of action and defend it with evidence (The text and peer-reviewed sources, number varies by assignment). Include how you would implement it and how you would know it worked.
Answer every question asked
If the case comes with questions, answer each one under its own heading, in order, within Varies by assignment; follow the instructions in Canvas.

Evaluate alternatives in a decision matrix (each option scored against criteria such as cost, mission fit, risk and time to results) and explain the weights. It turns a judgment into an argument the reader can check.
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.
Three options were scored on cost, mission fit, risk and speed. Building a hospital-owned urgent care network scored highest on mission fit but lowest on speed; partnering with an existing urgent care operator scored highest overall because it reaches the market within months at modest capital cost.1 Research on hospital and urgent care partnerships suggests they can capture referrals while sharing start-up risk.2
