Where to Start?

Select a company that is of interest to you. Make this about something you truly want to know and understand. 

Best Place to Start:

I recommend the best place to start is the website that is the company’s investor page. It will identify challenge and risks. 

Remember the Following:

Froeb’s forensic rules:

1. Who made the bad decision?
2. Did the decisionmaker have enough      information to make the right decision?
3. Did the decisionmaker have the      incentive to make the right decision?

Remember Froeb’s Problem Solving Tips:

1. Avoid the temptation to think of      the problem as belonging to the employee, think about the problem as      belonging to the organization?
2. To solve the problem, look ahead      and reason back, what caused the bad decision
3. Are there unintended consequences      in you proposed solution

References and Referencing

Where to find the story of a business: Good sources for a current unfolding story are in fact news and business journals. While this may be a starting point, remember they are only reporting on what they have heard. You must go to the primary source for evidence. Articles will always tell you the source of the story, go there and verify. Summarize and cite. Make sure the reader never has to ask the question, which source was used here. Remember, every fact must have an in-text cite as to the source.

Reference and Citation

You must list all references on which relied, even if it was from a previous course? The reader should never have to wonder which reference was the source. In-text citation is required even when you broadly summarize any work. In-text citation is required whenever you give a fact.

Reference Quality

You need 5 academic quality references. I am not going to demand that at least one be in the past 6 months, but remember you are to deal with a recent event. Academic quality: either primary source, i.e. directly from the company, directly from a government agency, or, a peer reviewed publication.

Submission

Use Grammarly to check, edit and vet your handling or sources and citation. It is recommended that your first submission in Blackboard carry the note, testing SafeAssign, do not grade. Let SafeAssign run and examine the feedback. Resolve the problems before you re-submit. When you have completed your clean-up do your final submission with the note, ready for grading.

Quick Fixes On Plagiarism

Do not use the questions as section headers.

Avoid direct quotes. These should never be used unless they are absolutely essential to telling the story.

Your paragraph about someone else’s paragraph should never look the same. Make it you own.
