The BUSI 605 Week 7 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
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 (The case and Geringer), with the first steps of implementation.
Answer every question asked
If the case comes with questions, answer each one under its own heading, in order, within At least 500 words.
Use the module's framework to judge the company's choices and recommend one change. For strategy cases, place the company on the module's spectrum from global to multidomestic, judge whether its industry rewards efficiency or local responsiveness more, and recommend a position that fits. Close by explaining how the recommended structure would change who makes pricing, product and hiring decisions, so the reader sees the practical effect of the strategy.

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 company centralized all decisions at headquarters, which kept its brand consistent but made it slow to respond to a local competitor's price cuts. The module's discussion of global versus multidomestic strategies suggests giving country managers authority over pricing while keeping brand standards central.
