Case Analysis Expectations
1. Case analysis responses should be your original thoughts—clearly and strongly supported by evidence-based ideas covered in the textbook and other assigned resources.
2. Strong case analyses will present creative, thoughtful, and innovative solutions.
3. Your audience for this analysis is the course instructor. Thus, you may assume that I have read all the resources & understand all the terminology. You should write concisely and directly to your key points. There is no need to define terms or summarize the case.
Instead, you should apply the terms and point to the key facts of the case in support of your best answers.
4. Clearly mark each discussion question and answer it directly. Do not write a single paper that intermingles your answers to the questions. How well did Tannis handle the situation with Goldstein? How do you think he felt about the situation? What key lesson did Tannis learn from this situation?
5. Management is not linear, so there is no limit on which topics/concepts may be included in your case analysis. The expectation is that you demonstrate understanding of all assigned resources up to this point in the course. You may also reference topics/concepts from upcoming modules or any relevant, non-assigned resources.
6. For each question, a MINIMUM of 4 textbook concepts and 2 assigned articles/videos should be cited. Failure to meet this minimum will result in a 0 score on the question.

1. What did Tannis do well, and where did she fall short in the initial stages of the case?
2. What kind of power and influence did Blankenship How well did Tannis handle the situation with Goldstein? How do you think he felt about the situation? What key lesson did Tannis learn from this situation?have and exert?
