BUS-421: BUSINESS POLICY

Final Project: Analytical Report


Throughout the course you have been using the concepts and tools of strategic analysis and management to answer questions about particular case studies. For your final project you will draw on this experience to write an original analytical report  with the intention of making recommendations to the CEO of a company.


Your report and recommendations will be based one of  the three following scenarios listed below.   You can choose which one you would like to analyze. 


Your report  will require you to do quite a bit of research on your own (primarily on the Internet), formulate  positions on particular issues, and to justify those positions in a formal document prepared for your target  audience.  Thus, the production  of your report will require critical thinking and your final draft should display good communication (persuasive) skills.




Your Report


Write an analytical report with the intention of making a recommendation to the CEO of the relevant company according to which case scenario you choose to work on. 


For your report, you will need to:

  • Identify key issues in the case scenario you choose
  • Analyze and evaluate the issues you identify
  • Research the company, organizations, industry, and the operating environment, etc.  involved
  • Recommend an action plan to management

When writing your report, follow the textbook publisher's  "Guide to Case Analysis."  Also, be sure to cite all sources and to format the report according to APA guidelines (see also Documentation Rules and Citation Styles).

Your final Project will be assessed on the criteria listed in the following rubric:


Your report should include, in the front, a one-page executive summary.  Cite references at the end of your report.  The entire report must not exceed 10 pages, single-typed space.  Refer to the guidelines on how to write a case analysis.
