an Assessment Method”: answer questions 1–4.
Submit this assignment by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday.
Professor’s recommendations/reminders:
Prior to beginning this assignment, please explore the
“Case Study Instructions” link above.
Please review again the “Professor’s Improvement
Suggestions” document available for download in the “Syllabus and
Assignment Instructions” area of the Course Content. Reading and following
the “Case Studies” section of this document will help you achieve
full credit on the case studies.
ECONOMIC GAIN FORMULA: The solution to this case requires
use of the ECONOMIC GAIN FORMULA as discussed in Chapter 11. Explanation of the
formula, and any calculations made using the formula, should be typed in the
same narrative prose as the rest of the paper. Use of the equation and
calculations must not result in extra white space or otherwise result in a
paper that is less than three full pages of typed analysis and discussion.
You must submit one MS Word attachment containing a title page,
at least three complete pages of original analysis and discussion, and a
references page (a minimum of one current, scholarly reference published in or
after 2011).
Correct use of the APA format for in-text citations and the
references list is required for all BUSI 643 assignments.
One inch margins on all four sides, and 12 point Times New
Roman fonts on all pages – title page, narrative, and references list.
Good tips on how to cite in-text and list references are
available in the Professor’s Improvement Suggestions document.
Do not add extra spaces between lines, do not add extra
white space at the top or bottom of pages, and do not use margins greater than
one-inch. Doing so will result in a short paper and a significant grading
reduction.
Submitting 2.9 pages of typed narrative or less will result
in a significant grading reduction. The required title page and required
references page do not count toward the minimum page count.
The case study must have a title page (title of paper,
student’s name, course number and name, and the date submitted) and an
APA-formatted references list.
Graduate-level analysis and discussion of case study
scenarios requires good narrative prose. As such, please do not submit bulleted
or numbered statements in case studies.
Use tables and figures sparingly; if these are used they
must be captioned correctly in the APA format and do not count toward the
three-page minimum of typed narrative.
The APA format requires that you insert in-text citations at
the correct places in the narrative each and every time someone else influenced
your work and when you use the ideas, statistics, terms or information of
others.
