The BUSI 600 Week 3 method, step by step
Read the case for facts, not impressions
Read the case in Case Assignment 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
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
Use the model or concepts from Business Research Methods 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 (2 to 4 scholarly research articles), 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 750 to 1,000 words.
Recommend a specific design and justify it against alternatives, citing research on the method's strengths and weaknesses. Close with what the recommended design would cost in time and money compared with the alternatives, since managers weigh research value against its cost.

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 case firm wants to know why online shoppers abandon their carts. Observation through analytics shows where they leave, but not why; short exit surveys and a few in-depth interviews would add reasons. Combining behavioral data with qualitative methods, as research on mixed methods recommends, gives both the pattern and its causes.
