MGMT 542 Assignments 5 and 6
Case analysis
Develop argument
Present argument (in class and on paper)
Team Process
Individual work
Record each person’s perspective
Consider and discuss perspectives
Arrive at claim everyone can agree on
Allows each person to develop best ideas
Allows each person’s ideas to be heard
Allows team to incorporate all members’ thinking
Allows team to present unified perspective
Step 1: Develop your own position
On your own, make notes on what you think about these questions:
How has Root Capital best helped its clients?
What evidence in the case illustrates these successes?
— What does it need to do to be more successful?
How do you know this would work?
Record each team member’s perspectives on the flip chart. Bullet points are ok.
Make note of:
How has it helped?
What areas could be more successful?
Do not evaluate perspectives at this point. Your goal is just to record them on the chart.
Step 2: Uncover your team’s positions
Now, imagine that Root Capital is going to make significant investment in the area you recommend, as long as it helps them get to their goal of making themselves obsolete
As a team, decide on a perspective you can all agree on, to answer this question:
What one area should Root Capital invest in, to get it closer to its goal?
Ways to evaluate:
Can we make a clear claim about this perspective? ✓
Do we have sufficient evidence to support our claim for this perspective? ✓
Can we make (and refute) a counter-claim? ✓
✓✓✓ Yes? This is your perspective.
Step 3 Decide on your team’s position

What evidence best supports these claims?
