Based on the needs and circumstances of the individuals described in the cases, students will be able to apply their newly-learned knowledge to thoroughly answer any number of questions related to the impact on the people, the expected outcomes and so forth, based on what you would do if you were in that role.It is imperative to read each case carefully and identify the important information. Recognizing and eliminating unimportant information is equally valuable. All necessary information will be provided in the case narrative, chapter text and from associated tables.Case questions will dictate how to respond. Typically, a few well written short paragraphs are adequate to answer most questions. Sometimes a list of terms or individual sentences will provide the best response; use your best judgment. Be sure to thoroughly answer the questions and show your work when performing calculations.Important: Students should craft their answers in a clear and concise manner, and not merely write down a few words as if responding to a fill-in-the-blank question. When preparing detailed responses, write complete, descriptive paragraphs that fully explain your thinking.Always explain your answer, while applying the concepts learned from the chapter material and instruction. Remember you are not giving your opinion; you are developing an informed answer to a management problem supplemented with supporting facts and examples.Start early and take the time necessary to provide thorough answers, written at the college level. Be professional and turn in good quality work.Required Steps:1. Each-mini project has specific questions following the narrative. You must answer each assigned question with the corresponding case.a. This is an individual assignment. You are not permitted to work with others.2. To answer the questions: Open a Microsoft Word Document. Save the Document by the Case # and your last name – For example: “Case #1 Brown”a. Type/write the entire question, including the question number. (insert numbering)b. Type/write the word “Answer” below the question and then complete the answer.c. Type/write the second question, etc.d. Some cases provide tables and financial statement information; these should be incorporated into your answer. By doing so, you will provide an additional level of depth and accuracy for the reader, who will gain a much deeper understanding of how you arrived at your answers.3. Submit your completed mini-project in Blackboard. Use the menu button “Assignment – Mini-project” to access the Upload Link area.Tips:• Allow enough time to fully research the case and the answers. Don’t procrastinate; get started soon after the assignment is given.• After you identify which questions should be answered, read them before reading the narrative. Then identify as much about the questions as you can, while reading.• Case studies often involve numerous aspects which can be interrelated or interdependent. Be sure to understand how the components of the case tie together, and how you will need to respond as you work through.Capture your thoughts on paper (word processor file), before structuring your sentences.• Upon crafting your responses, re-read them, to make sure they fully answer the question.• Clean up spelling and grammatical errors.• Don’t be eager to be the first to turn in your project. Sleep on your work, then come back and read it again. You will almost always find things you missed or could have improved.• Approach these problems as if your “boss” has asked you to solve them. By demonstrating you are a good problem solver, you would be in line for a promotion.• Ask questions if something is not clear.Mini-Project Assignments: (Check schedule for assignment date)Problem Solving Case #1 (Complete both cases on one document labeled as follows)Case A: What Should You Do about an Insubordinate Employee Pp. 74-75 (25 points)Answer Solving the Challenge 1-5.
