UBC SAUDER SCHOOL OF BUSINESS CASE: Totally Tidy by Tilly ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW COMM 101: Group Practice Case Memo Detailed Assignment Outline Case analysis provides an effective learning opportunity to integrate concepts and create solutions to business problems. Case-based learning requires that you synthesize a broad range of issues and situations and provide coherent, creative, and supported recommendations. In this assignment, as in future commerce courses, you will analyze a case and provide recommendations. Typically, you will not be answering a series of questions; rather, you will assess a situation, create a set of alternatives, and provide a recommendation. Case memos in COMM 101 are closed cases. You may use ideas or concepts from this class or other classes, plus all the knowledge and creativity inside your talented mind, but you are not allowed to do external research (e.g., using the internet). Please read this outline carefully. You are responsible for understanding the contents of this outline and following the instructions within. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Upon successful completion of this assignment, students will have the knowledge and skills to: · Evaluate a case, including identifying the key issues affecting the organization in the case. Apply analytical tools, frameworks and class concepts to the situation outlined in the case. · Develop alternatives for resolving the key issue(s) in a case. O Make a business decision by selecting a recommended alternative based on decision criteria. · Integrate and exhibit concepts, ideas, and tools introduced in COMM 101. · Demonstrate written communication skills by explaining your reasoning and using data and facts to support your arguments.
