MGT 441 Great Basin College The Pert Mustang Case Study

Written Case Studies

Follow the directions as outlined in your syllabus and which are repeated below.

You are to address Questions 1 and 4 ONLY on pg. 282 in the text.

Write a report to Vicky Roberts covering all of the issues she references in Question 1, 750 words minimum to 1500 words maximum, excluding cover page, abstract, and references. Your response to Question 4 should be submitted as an Appendix to the body of the Case Study and will not add to the word count. Do not submit as a numbered Q & A submission or as a bulleted list of data but rather as a completed written paper. In other words, incorporate your answers to Question 1 into your case study analysis essay and your response to Question 4 as an Appendix as stated above.

Students are responsible for their own time management and should ensure they complete the papers earlier, rather than waiting until the night the assignment is due. Avoid that overwhelmed feeling that comes from waiting until the last minute to start a written paper that carries a significant point allocation.

The student should relate the essay to the chapter materials and issues. All students should do any Internet and/or library database research required prior to writing a response. Note that the instructor does not recognize Wikipedia as a suitable reference source due to the editable nature of the material found there which raises concerns about veracity and validity of content. Do not cite Wikipedia nor list Wikipedia in your references for any assignments. Ensure that proper grammar, correct spelling, sentence structure, accurate punctuation, and material citations are included for maximum point consideration. Neglecting to cite other authors’ original material is plagiarism and will be graded accordingly (see the Academic Honesty section in the syllabus on page 9). Your reference page for the Section Case Studies must include at least three resources in addition to your textbook.

Submit the essay as an attachment in proper APA format as a Microsoft® Word document with proper grammar, spelling, sentence structure, punctuation, citations, cover and reference pages. Access GBC’s Academic Success Center web page for resources to aid in proper formatting http://www.gbcnv.edu/asc/ (Links to an external site.) or review the information announced previously here. This assignment will be submitted through the VeriCite plagiarism detection software.

Due to the high point allocation of these assignments, an exceptionally high quality submission is expected with depth, detail, and analysis for maximum point consideration. Anticipate approximately one week grading turnaround time.

The instructor strongly recommends that, for any written submission, you ask a trusted friend, colleague or willing professor or seek guidance from the GBC Academic Success Center to review your document for coherence, readability, and the other items mentioned above. Feedback from another set of eyes can sometimes earn a full grade or two higher than you would receive otherwise.
