Learning Goal: I’m working on a management writing question and need support to help me learn.
Please choose only ONE case study and answer its 3 questions. Thanks.
Case Study 2.1. – New Business scenario
One party’s work organization, based in Washington, D.C., has recently begun a project in Wichita, Kansas. The project will require 15 to 20 employees to travel to Kansas and spend, on average, three weeks in residence there. It is expected that the project will span a period of nine months to completion. This first party has located an apartment complex nearby the location where the project work will be done. The apartment complex has traditionally required minimum lease terms of one year, but does have a few vacancies. The organization desires to have its people in this apartment complex rather than in hotels.

Case Study Guide
A case study analysis requires you to investigate a business problem, examine the alternative solutions, and propose the most effective solution using supporting evidence.

Before you begin writing, follow these guidelines to help you prepare and understand the case study:
1. Read and Examine the Case Thoroughly

2. Focus on Your Analysis

o Why do they exist?
o How do they impact the organization?
o Who is responsible for them?
3. Uncover Possible SoluDons/Changes Needed
o Review course readings, discussions, outside research, your experience.
4. Select the Best Solution
o Consider strong supporting evidence, pros, and cons. Is this solution realistic?

1. Introduction

Finalizing the Case
After you have composed the first draft of your case study analysis, read through it to check for any gaps or inconsistencies in content or structure:
• Is your thesis statement clear and direct?

• Is any component from the analysis missing?
When you make the necessary revisions, use Grammarly as well as the APA guide provided to you by CMU to correct the mechanics of your analysis before submitting the final draft.
