The BUSI 687 Week 2 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
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 study, Dalton and course material). 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 Short; follow the assignment instructions.
List the client's exposures, rate each by frequency and severity, and match each to a risk management technique. Write recommendations as a planner would for a client: specific amounts, products or actions, and the reason for each.

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 case family's largest exposure is liability: a teenage driver and a backyard pool. Their auto liability limits of 50/100 are low, and they have no umbrella policy. Raising auto limits to 250/500 and adding a $1 million umbrella, about $300 a year, transfers a severe risk at modest cost.
