We are doing a case study you need to read what have been done and add info complying with grading rubric for my part

 Working in teams of 3, students will select a case from those included in the book, with approval by me. Teams are required to write up the case, based on the rubric attached to this assignment. Projects must be turned in digitally (for SafeAssign) and a paper copy submitted for grading.

Identification of Problems/Issues

(20%)

Clearly identifies problems/issues, based on the case. The problems/issues are prioritized, differentiating those that are important from those that are routine. Relationships among the problems are identified, with the underlying, primary or key problem/issue clearly designated.

Problem and issue identification is clear, based on the case, and prioritizations have been made. Most, but not all, judgments about priorities are appropriate. Relationships and the key underlying problem/issue are identified.

Problem and issue identification is unclear in some aspects and is not wholly based on the case analysis. Prioritization is confused. Relationships and the key underlying problem/issue are either misidentified or missing.

The problem identification is missing or not based on the case at all. In addition, there is no attention given to relationships among and prioritization of problems. Shows lack of judgment.

Answering questions regarding the case

(30%)

Clearly and thoroughly answers all the questions posed in the case using information from the case and outside resources appropriately to support answers. .

Clearly and thoroughly answers some of the questions posed in the case using information from the case and outside resources, but fails to appropriately support answers.

Recommendation

(20%)

A clear action plan is given, logically derived from alternative analysis, that provides optimal solution for identified problems/issues and that further makes sense, given the case and outside resources; the recommendation is based on only one of the strategic alternative actions. Assumptions, caveats, ongoing considerations concerning recommendation are provided.

An action plan is given, which is mostly, but not completely, logically derived from alternative analysis. There may be a better solution to the problems/issues than the one recommended, given the case and outside resources. Most, but not all, assumptions, caveats, and ongoing considerations are provided.

A solution is recommended, but logical derivation from alternative analysis is unclear, and there is clearly a better optimal solution, given the case and outside resources. The recommendation is based on more than one alternative action. No identification of assumptions, caveats, or considerations that might affect the recommendation is provided.

A solution is recommended, but it is not derived from the alternative analysis at all; or the recommended solution is clearly not viable, given the case and outside resources; or the recommended solution does not address the problems/issues; or there is no recommended solution.

Organization

(10%, includes organization, integration, grammar)

Written work is well organized and easy to understand. There is a brief introduction. Sections of case analysis are marked with appropriate headings. There are page numbers. The cover sheet clearly lists the team members and case being analyzed.

The organization is generally good. There is a brief introduction and section headings; there are page numbers. But some sections seem out of place or mislabeled, diminishing the ease with which the case reads and is understood.

The organization is unclear; headings are missing. The introduction is not succinct. Page numbers may be missing.

The case analysis is disorganized to the extent that it prevents understanding of content. There are no headings. There is no introduction. There are no page numbers.

Integration of Writing Styles

The team developed a writing style that is uniform throughout the case analysis. There is no indication that the report involved multiple authors.

There is some indication of multiple authors (e.g., different fonts, different paper, etc.)

There is ample indication of multiple authors.

Report is clearly the work of multiple authors with different writing styles, margins, printer fonts, paper types, etc.

Grammar, Spelling, and Formatting

The work has been thoroughly spell-checked and proofread. There are none to almost none grammatical or spelling errors. There are no formatting errors.

There are a few spelling and grammatical errors. There are one to three formatting errors.

There is more than one spelling or grammatical error per page. There is at least one formatting error per page.

There are frequent misspelled words, serious grammatical errors, and formatting errors, indicating that time was not take to spell-check and proofread the report.
