Attached please fine your assigned Case study. It will account for 30% if your grade. Cases should be a minimum of 4 pages long double-spaced in 12-point font. In preparing the cases, the student will address the questions posed in the case description or by the faculty. Writing should be clear, concise, demonstrating strong written English in terms of grammar, syntax and format of the case. Part of the case grade will depend upon your grammar. The key to successful communication is to be able to articulate ideas clearly and concisely.
Cases will be evaluated based upon the student’s:
1) Demonstrated understanding of the case and the issues involved, including an objective assessment of the situation from all points of view represented in the case. The student should indicate the facts of the case and their relative importance, and the relationships among the players.
2) Application and specification of readings, theory, models, and research into the analysis,
3) Consideration of variety of viable alternatives to the problem and an assessment of these alternatives. This is one of the most important parts of the case. Remember that a choice to do nothing is still a choice, and will have (sometimes serious) ramifications.
4) The student’s recommended course of action, and the defense of that course of action.
5) Quality of written communication including grammar, diction, syntax and spelling. Be sure to proofread. Spell check does not identify incorrectly used words or typos that are still words.
