The BUSI 605 Week 3 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
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 Environment of International Business 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
Choose one course of action and defend it with evidence (The case and Geringer). 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 At least 500 words.
Identify the environmental force at the center of the case and analyze how the company responded. Structure the essay as a brief summary, an analysis of the force and the response, and a final judgment on whether the response was enough. Where the case involves currencies, distinguish operational hedges such as local sourcing from financial hedges such as forward contracts.

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 central force in the case is a sudden currency devaluation that raised the local price of the company's imported products by a third. The company responded by sourcing more inputs locally and adjusting prices gradually rather than all at once. This reduced its exposure, a hedge the module describes as operational rather than financial.
