Guidelines for Analyzing Cases

Problem and Issue Identification

1. What are the central facts of the case? What assumptions are you making about these facts?

2. What is the major overriding issue in the case? What major question or issues does this case address that merits study at this point in the course?

3. What sub-issues or related issues are present in the case that merit consideration now?

Analysis and Evaluation

1. Who are the stakeholders in the case and what are their stakes? What challenges, threats or opportunities are posed by these stakeholders?

2. What economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic responsibilities does the company have, and what is the nature and extent of these responsibilities?

3. If the case involves company actions, evaluate what the company did or did not do in handling the issue affecting it.

Recommendations

1. What recommendations do you have for this case? If a company's strategies or actions are involved, should the company have acted as it did?

What action should the company take now? Why? Be as specific as possible. List several options as well as the pros and cons of each alternative.

Be prepared to discuss why you eliminated those options you discarded and defend your chosen alternative. Mention and discuss any important implementation considerations. This last step is crucial because recommendations that cannot be implemented are worthless.

RESEARCH PAPER INSTRUCTIONS

Your research paper guidelines are as follows:

1) Your paper must be in APA (American Psychological Association) style as this is the most commonly used style to cite sources within the Social Sciences and Business Disciplines.

2) Your main body must be at least 4 pages double spaced.

3) You are to research, analyze and render your conclusion on the assigned topic, Grutter v. Bollinger, et al concerning Affirmative Action and Racial Preferences in college and grad school admissions. I have provided three supplemental files to get you started but I expect more research than just your text and the three sources I have provided.

4) Answer the following question and support your conclusions.

Who are the stakeholders in terms of Harvey Weinstein's sexual predator behavior and what are their stakes? How could this sexually explicit encounters be covered up for three decades? Who else to blame for this?

And finally what recommendations would you make from an economic, legal, ethical or discretionary foundation to ensure it never happens again?
