...Case Study Title Date Course Instructor Introduction An introduction is used to let the reader know: • The main entity or entities involved • The major question or issue being analyzed Introductions for case studies in this course should be one paragraph in length. Background This is a brief overview of the main problems or questions involved. Historical information can be used as long as it has a direct bearing on the items being analyzed. Provide enough description that a reader that is unfamiliar with the case will understand the context of your analysis. For this course, background information should be two to three paragraphs in length, maximum. Discussion The discussion includes an analysis of each problem or question. The analysis can include: • The problem or question and its impact on the main entities involved. • How the problem or question is linked to the topics we have discussed or read to this point. • How the problem or question is linked to best practices in industry. • A solution or multiple solutions and an evaluation of those solutions. In this course the case studies will have at least one major problem or question. There may be secondary problems or questions but there will be, at most, one or two secondary issues. Use as much space as necessary to provide a rational analysis but if there are more than four or five paragraphs for a given question the analysis needs to be reviewed and made more concise. ...

...Case Study and Treatment Recommendations This is a comprehensive project. The expectation is that you will be able to show a working understanding of the course material. The suggested readings will enhance your ability to excel in this project. You are asked to read Rosa Lee: A Mother and Her Family in Urban America. You will be required to complete a thorough assessment of Rosa Lee or one of her family members, using the Case Study Template below. The information should be obtained from the book, Rosa Lee: A Mother and Her Family in Urban America, but written in a clinical style. You should still be using proper APA style citing and quoting to indicate that this information is from the book. Hence, frequent citing of Dash (1996) is expected—and proper quoting if you use direct wording from this book. Although this is practice for professional writing, this is an academic assignment, thus proper citing throughout is expected. Not properly citing/quoting is a form of plagiarism. Include an APA style title page before the template and include an APA style reference page as well. Please note that on the Case Study Template there is a section for psychosocial information; developmental, family, and current functioning. You are to use information given in this biography of Rosa Lee to complete the psychosocial section. In addition, the Case Study Template has sections requiring you to address the person’s attitude, social functioning, occupational functioning, financial functioning...

...QRB 501 WEEK 3 LEANING TEAM CASE STUDIES A+ Graded Tutorial Available At: http://hwsoloutions.com/?product=qrb-501-week-3-leaning-team-case-studies Visit Our website: http://hwsoloutions.com/ Product Description PRODUCT DESCRIPTION QRB 501 WEEK 3 LEANING TEAM CASE STUDIES 8-3 The Artist’s Palette Question One The team obtained the trade discount for each supplier and used it to determine the Net List Price for each supplier. The List Price less the trade discount provided the Net List Price. We then compared the two prices to determine that Parma would save $3.87 if they purchase from supplier two. The team did not experience issues completing this question. Question Two The team did not have any issues with this question. The team was able to easily calculate the net decimal equivalent by first finding the complement of each of the discount rates for each supplier (20/10/5 and 18/12/7). To do this the team subtracts each of them from 100% (i.e. 100-.20=.80). After this we multiplied each of the complement to find the net decimal equivalent (i.e. .80*.90*.95=.684). Question Three After finding the net decimal equivalent in question two, the team was able to multiply that number by the Parama minimum supply purchase price of 300 by (1-the net decimal equivalent) to find the trade discount. The team had to place a formula under the nde cell so the template would calculate the correct trade discount. There were no further issues with this problem. Question Four ...

...environment. Included are annotated examples, online templates and step-by-step guides for writing common business documents such as letters, memos, email, and press releases. Category: Business Documents Hide Descriptions Writing Guides Business Letters: When you write business letters in industry or for a class, knowing your purpose and audience will help determine what information to include. Generally, business letters follow a particular format, although your instructor or company may require you to use alternative formats. This guide provides writers with an introduction to writing business letters. Case Studies: This guide examines case studies, a form of qualitative descriptive research that is used to look at individuals, a small group of participants, or a group as a whole. Researchers collect data about participants using participant and direct observations, interviews, protocols, tests, examinations of records, and collections of writing samples. Starting with a definition of the case study, the guide moves to a brief history of this research method. Using several well documented case studies, the guide then looks at applications and methods including data collection and analysis. A discussion of ways to handle validity, reliability, and generalizability follows, with special attention to case studies as they are applied to composition studies. Finally, this guide examines the strengths and weaknesses of case studies. Desktop Publishing: Desktop publishing is...

Please post case studies in Turnitin Assignment Drop Box as a MS Word document. Remember, each case study must have the heading listed below and must be answered according to instructions; each heading is worth a percentage of each case grade. This is how I want your paper turned in. The introduction is generally one paragraph. The easiest way to explain this section is to think of it like an abstract or introduction. This section, if written properly, can actually act as the abstract for this paper. It will, in a sense, set up the rest of the paper, which is the review of the case, analysis, recommendations, and the summary and conclusions sections. If there is a second paragraph, it will look like this. An interesting APA fact is that there is only one space after the period. This is difficult for many to get used to and takes practice. The paper should be written in third person narrative. I do not want to see you writing in the first person. Note: I have bolded the required headings that must be present in the paper and please keep bolded. Answer the following questions by applying the concepts learned in Chapter 1. Also, conduct literature reviews on the subject of discussion and use to support...
