Collaborative Case Analysis
Students will work in teams to prepare a collaborative case analysis on the Negotiations for Life case (text page 202). Each team will be assigned either Scenario 1 or Scenario 2 by the professor. Teams will discuss their assessments in their team Discussion areas and prepare an analysis and recommendation in a collaborative report in the form of a paper. See MGMT570: Guidelines for Case Analysis located in Doc Sharing.
The length of paper should be three to four pages, not including the cover page and references. APA style is required for in-text citation and references.
Due date: In order to have a meaningful discussion, one leader from each team will post the report in the Overcoming Barriers discussion by Wednesday of Week 5. In addition, you are required to submit in the Dropbox for grading.
