The BUSI 600 Week 8 method, step by step
Read the case for facts, not impressions
Read the case in Case Assignment 4 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
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.
Check each conclusion against the evidence, noting where correlation is treated as causation or where the sample cannot support the claim. Finish with what additional data or analysis would let the case firm reach a stronger conclusion, which shows you understand the research process from end to end.

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 report concludes that the training program raised sales because trained employees sold 12% more. But employees chose whether to attend, and the most motivated may have signed up, so the comparison confounds training with motivation. A fair conclusion is that training is associated with higher sales; a randomized rollout would test causation.
