The BUSI 600 Week 5 method, step by step
Read the case for facts, not impressions
List the facts of the case first. Analysis that rests on a misread detail is the most common way case answers lose points.
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 Business Research Methods to analyze the case. Name the framework, then work through it with the case facts, step by step.
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
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.
Identify specific question flaws (double-barreled, leading, unclear scales) and rewrite them. End by explaining how the revised questions would change the decisions the case firm could make from the data, which ties measurement back to the management problem.
A structure for BUSI 600 Week 5 Case Assignment 3
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,100 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 | Relevant facts. | ~150 words |
| Answers | Each question. | ~640 words |
| Research support | Articles. | ~200 words |
| Format | APA and length. | ~110 words |
A topic angle that works
Apply measurement and questionnaire concepts to the case, for example by critiquing the case's survey questions.
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 survey asks, "How satisfied are you with our fast and friendly service?", a double-barreled and leading question. A respondent who found service friendly but slow cannot answer accurately. Splitting it into two neutral items, one on speed and one on courtesy, each on a five-point scale, would give usable data.
