The BUSI 691 Week 3 method, step by step

  1. Read the case for facts, not impressions

    Read the case in Group Assurance of Learning Exercise 2 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 Healthcare Administration Capstone 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

    Choose one course of action and defend it with evidence (At least 3 peer-reviewed sources). Include how you would implement it and how you would know it worked.

  6. Answer every question asked

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

A structure for BUSI 691 Week 3 Group Assurance of Learning Exercise 2

Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,200 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.

SectionWhat it must doTarget
DiagnosisThe strategic issue.~310 words
AlternativesOptions on common criteria.~360 words

ImplementationHow and how you will know.~290 words

A topic angle that works

Chapter 6 deals with environmental analysis. Use a structured tool (a PEST scan or Porter's five forces) in the diagnosis so the group's alternatives follow from evidence about the market.

Model paragraph with notes

BUSI 691 Week 3, sample alternatives paragraph

The group weighed three alternatives on cost, mission fit, time to impact and risk. Joint venturing with the physician group on an ambulatory surgery center scored highest, because it keeps surgeons aligned and shares capital cost; building alone scored lowest on time and risk.1 Joint venture literature notes that governance terms decide whether such partnerships last, so the recommendation includes them.2

  1. Common criteria.
  2. A clear winner.
  3. A risk addressed.
