How BUSI 643 Week 6 Case Study 4 is graded

Liberty grades Case Study 4 with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 100 points in the published guide. That is about 10% of the course's 1,010 points. Read the rubric first. Each row is a criterion, and the wording of the highest column is the closest thing you have to a model answer.

Course grades in BUSI 643 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 940 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.

Timing in the published guide: Each course week begins on Monday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.

The BUSI 643 Week 6 method, step by step

  1. Read the case for facts, not impressions

    Read the case in Case Study 4 and list the facts that matter: who is involved, what happened, what constraints exist. Separate facts from assumptions before analyzing anything.

  2. Name the central problem

    Decide what the core problem is and say it plainly. The rest of the analysis should be organized around it.

  3. 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.

  4. Weigh the options

    Compare alternatives before recommending one. Each option needs its advantage and its risk stated in the terms of the case.

  5. Recommend and justify

    Make a clear recommendation supported by sources (The textbook case and course material), with the first steps of implementation.

  6. Answer every question asked

    If the case comes with questions, answer each one under its own heading, in order, within 3 to 5 original pages.

Explain the decision method (compensatory, multiple hurdles or a combination) the case calls for and justify it. For offers, address terms, negotiation and legal issues such as implied 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.

BUSI 643 Week 6, sample answer paragraph

The hiring team averages interview impressions informally, so a charismatic candidate can outweigh a stronger one. A compensatory scoring model, weighting each assessment by its validity, would make decisions consistent and defensible. For the offer, the recruiter's promise of a promotion within a year could create an implied contract; offers should state terms in writing and avoid such assurances.

  1. The decision method.
  2. Consistency.
  3. An offer risk.
