The BUSI 528 Week 6 method, step by step
Read the case for facts, not impressions
Read the case in Case Study 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
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
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 references), 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 At least 500 words.
A structure for BUSI 528 Week 6 Case Study
Word targets are planning numbers for about 800 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 case | What was banned and why. | ~140 words |
| Answers to the questions | One heading per question. | ~420 words |
| Your position | Should the advertising be allowed? | ~130 words |
| Biblical integration | One connection. | ~110 words |
A topic angle that works
Use each provided question as a heading. The history of professional advertising bans helps: the Supreme Court's 1977 Bates decision struck down a ban on lawyer advertising, and the Federal Trade Commission's action against medical society restrictions was upheld in 1982, which opened health care advertising.
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.
Should the professional association be allowed to ban members' advertising? The precedent says no. In the 1970s the Federal Trade Commission challenged the American Medical Association's ethical ban on physician advertising as a restraint of trade, and the challenge was upheld, opening the way for health care advertising.1 The concern behind bans, misleading claims, is better addressed by truth-in-advertising rules than by prohibition.2
