The BUSI 700 Week 4 method, step by step
Answer the prompt in one sentence first
Write a one-sentence answer to the Current Business Essay prompt before drafting. That sentence becomes the thesis and keeps the essay on track.
Plan three supporting points
List the points that support the answer, usually two to four, each tied to the course material from Doctor of Business Administration Orientation.
Develop each point with evidence
One paragraph per point: claim, support (At least 1 book, 2 peer-reviewed journal articles and 1 internet source), explanation.
Engage the course material directly
Name the theory, model or reading you are using and apply it; essays that stay general lose the course-knowledge points.
Conclude with the so-what
End by saying why the answer matters for practice or for the field, in two or three sentences.
Check length and format
Confirm the length (1,000 words) and current APA format before submitting.
Weigh evidence on both sides before reaching a conclusion, and make sure the required source types are present and cited in APA.

A topic angle that works
Revise from the rough draft and its feedback. Apply the critical thinking from Browne and Keeley and the awareness of biases from McRaney to your own argument: where might confirmation bias have shaped your evidence?
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.
Supporters of office mandates cite studies showing faster mentoring for junior staff in person. Recent peer-reviewed research on hybrid work, however, finds that two or three office days preserve most of that benefit while reducing quit rates. The evidence supports structured hybrid arrangements over blanket mandates, though firms that depend heavily on apprenticeship may reasonably require more office time.
