How BUSI 643 Week 7 Case Study 5 is graded

Liberty grades Case Study 5 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 7 method, step by step

  1. Read the case for facts, not impressions

    Read the case in Case Study 5 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

    State the main problem in one sentence. Many cases contain several issues; the strongest answers say which one drives the rest.

  3. Apply the course framework

    Use the model or concepts from Workforce Planning and Employment to analyze the case. Name the framework, then work through it with the case facts, step by step.

  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.

Recommend a small set of metrics, explain how each would be measured, and show what action a poor result would trigger.

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 7, sample answer paragraph

The company tracks only time to fill, which encourages recruiters to hire quickly rather than well. Adding quality of hire, measured by first-year performance ratings and retention, would balance speed with results. If quality falls while time to fill improves, the staffing manager should review which sources and selection steps were cut.

  1. A gap in metrics.
  2. New measures.
  3. A response.
