BUSI 830 Case Study Methodology Assignment Instructions

Overview

Researchers describe the background of the problem to define the root problem and explain the organizational consequences – this is where you will ‘well-define’ your case study. The problem statement is a foundational component of the research study. In this assignment, you will begin to craft a single case study scenario by scoping the root problem. Then, you will research the root problem in the literature to determine how it starts and the broad organizational consequences that result before developing a researchable problem statement. Once the problem statement is written, an applicable research question (RQ) is created. RQs are exploratory, not assumptive, and not specific to an organization. The background of the problem, problem statement, and RQs must be in alignment to ensure a reliable study will occur. If there could be any question, this assignment is about focusing your case study in preparation for your advanced doctoral research project (ADRP). Biblical integration is NOT required in this assignment.

Instructions

After reviewing the required material stated in this week’s module, address the following in a written paper using the current APA format:

• Choose a business problem that is related to your degree cognate for your ADRP.
• Research the literature to understand the problem.
• Write a one to two-page background of the problem, discussing how the problem started (i.e., root problem) and why the problem needs to be studied (i.e., organizational consequences.
• Clearly enunciate the study purpose
• Create a problem statement and ensure it includes:
  • A general problem sentence.
  • Three supporting sentences showing that the problem currently exists. Each supporting sentence must be supported with a different peer-reviewed scholarly source no older than five (5) years.
  • A specific problem sentence that includes the location of the study and organization type (using Moore’s (2022) template).
• Provide a research question that aligns with the problem statement, ensuring it is exploratory, not assumptive, and not specific to an organization. For your ADRP, you may have 3 subordinate RQs, so, if desired, you may include those herein as well.
• Provide the broad strokes of your intended case protocol (prima facie question, propositions, tentative outline), case study methodology (case type[explanatory, exploratory, descriptive], design[holistic, embedded, single, multiple]), data collection. As the case study will not be developed beyond the literature review, limit this section to about 300 words.
