The BUSI 605 Week 8 method, step by step
Read the case for facts, not impressions
Read the case in MiniCase 8 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
Decide what the core problem is and say it plainly. The rest of the analysis should be organized around it.
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
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.
Answer each question with a module concept and case evidence; the final project is due the same week, so finish this early. For staffing cases, weigh home-country, host-country and third-country managers on control, cost, local knowledge and development of local talent, and recommend a staffing approach for the next five years.

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 sent home-country managers to run its foreign subsidiary, but turnover among local staff rose because promotions seemed closed to them. The module notes that relying on expatriates brings control but can limit local talent development. Promoting local managers into leadership roles over time would address both retention and local knowledge.
