Case 2

Clearly mark each discussion question and answer it directly. Do not write a single paper

that intermingles your answers to the questions

. Management is not linear, so there is no limit on which topics/concepts may be included

in your case analysis. The expectation is that you demonstrate understanding of all

assigned resources up to this point in the course. You may also reference topics/concepts

from upcoming modules or any relevant, non-assigned resources.

For each question, a MINIMUM of 4 textbook concepts and 2 assigned articles/videos

should be cited. Failure to meet this minimum will result in a 0 score on the question.

Nuts & Bolts

1. Answer any 2 of the discussion questions listed below. Use standard formatting (12 point,

Times New Roman, Double Spaced) and make sure to answer the questions completely

and thoroughly. Your responses should be submitted via the assignment link in

Blackboard.

2. Please note, you are expected to use material from class readings and/or videos to support

your responses. When applying terms/concepts from the textbook, apply bold and

underlined formatting to those terms. Terms/concepts from the textbook do not need a

citation.

3. When applying concepts from the assigned (or outside of class) resources, please cite

using APA style. Provide a single reference list at the end of the case analysis.
