case report

Case Report Grading Rubric Group:_________________ Dr. Prahinski Please note: this rubric represents a general guideline for what I look for in a case report. Some evaluations will be modified based on the emphasis (or lack of it) regarding certain aspects of the decision. If an item is circled, it was not addressed in the report:

Executive Summary (10%) Issue, Alternatives

Decision Criteria, Decision, Action Plan Logic flow makes sense

Issue Identification (10%) Correct identification Took role of decision maker Analysis – Business Environment (15%) Competitive analysis Regulatory analysis

Customer analysis – e.g., competitive priorities Supplier analysis

Product analysis Company and functional strategy; supply chain strategy

Decision Criteria (5%) List three to five appropriate decision criteria and identify most important Analysis – Of Issue (40%)

Alternatives considered Immediate issue

Long term issue Alternatives evaluated Immediate issue LT issue

Decision and Recommendation (5%) Did the group make a clear decision about the immediate issue? Yes No About the long-term issue? Yes No Action Plan (10%) Cons addressed Detailed action plan

If the following items are checked/circled, it means that it was not addressed well in the report: Presentation (5%) Comma usage: After prepositional phrase, natural pause Punctuation – semicolon, colon, period, quotes, capitalization Whole numbers: less than 10, 10 or greater, at start of sentence

Word choice – unprofessional, extreme words, slang A company is an “it”, not “they.” Management is “they”. Contractions are not appropriate Sentence structure – fragment, run-on, awkward, noun needed Paragraph structure – needs topic sentence Section structure – headings are needed; don’t place on last line Repeating case facts without drawing implications Proofread was needed; significant misspellings Font size was too large; too small; inconsistent
