BUSI 1010 – Fall 2016
Case Action Plan
Learning a methodology to analyze business cases is designed to give you the tools necessary to make valuable recommendations to solve business problems.
If you were David Grant, what would you do to put Grandma Jarrell’s back onto a profitable course? Use inductive reasoning to support your solution to the case.
As part of your plan, I want you to show why you rejected an alternative, not as reasonable plan. This is an artificial argument. In this case there are more than 2 feasible options so rejecting one does not necessarily mean the argument in favour of your full solution is stronger. However, I want you to practice using a disjunctive syllogism so that you can employ that at an appropriate time. (2 pages)
Case Implementation Plan
The best plans will not work unless acted upon. As a supplement to your paper, provide a schedule for implementation of the solution you have proposed. What is the sequence of actions required to implement your plan, who will be responsible to see that each action is completed. Consider the important milestones at 60 sec, 60 minutes, 60 hours, 60 days, 60 weeks, and 60 months. (1 page)
