Principles of management

There will be 2 assigned cases and they are located in the content section of course. You should complete the cases after reading the corresponding chapter and working through the course learning tools for that chapter. The cases are short but must be answered thoroughly and professionally. There is no set word count and I look for quality over quantity.  Typically, 2 short paragraphs will answer each question and more than that is fine also.  It is important as you answer the questions that you also relate your answers to the concepts in the text as well as support your answers with your reasoning. Where you feel possible, also conduct outside research to help support your conclusions where you feel you can.

For a format, just identify your name, the case and the class at the top of the page.  Re-write each question and then provide your answer underneath the question using single spacing for your answer.

Cases should be prepared in Microsoft Word and uploaded to the appropriate assignments folder on or before their due date. Each case is worth 100 points. Late cases are penalized 20 percent.

80 – 100 points: Each case question is answered accurately, thoroughly, and professionally. Professionalism in writing includes proper spelling, grammar and presentation. Outside research will be presented. Reference to textbook concepts will be presented. You will provide proper citations for all research.

60 – 79 points: One or more case question is answered incorrectly or the case is not presented professionally. May lack outside research and reference to textbook concepts.

0 – 59 points: Incomplete cases, multiple errors in reasoning or conclusion, lack of professionalism.

Note: Turnitin.com is used to determine case originality. Case submissions with an Similarity score higher than 60% may NOT earn more than one-half credit. Case submissions with 80% or higher will earn NO points. It is up to the instructor whether cases may be re-submitted.
