Decision-Making Process in a Business
What Is Going Well
My case analysis competence has improved based on my experience conducting this week’s case analysis. One of the things that is going well is problem identification. I could easily identify the problem in this week’s case analysis and how it was resolved. I have also improved my interpretation of how the problems in the case impact the organization and the people responsible for the problem.
Challenges
One of the challenges I am facing is developing an introduction for the case study analysis. My assumption is that the introduction should provide background information about the case based on the identified issue and how it was resolved, but the same information is also included in the case analysis section. I am, therefore, confused about how to present the information in the case analysis section without repetition. Another challenge is selecting the best solution for the problem identified in the case because there are many applicable solutions that can effectively resolve the problem. According to Copeland (2014), identifying a solution to resolve a problem is an important part of the case study analysis process because it portrays a reader’s understanding of the case study. Therefore, I need to develop a criterion for distinguishing between key solutions and any other solution that may not be categorized as a major solution.
Additional Support or Resources
Case analysis competence can be improved with frequent practice (Fuertes et al., 2012). The main additional resource that I need to ensure that this week’s case analysis project is a success is samples of case study analysis completed by other students in this course to have an idea of the required format and the important points to consider. I also need feedback for my previous case study analysis to identify improvement areas.
Key Learnings
The case study analysis is founded on identifying the main problem in the case and how it affects the organization or an individual (Stake, 2013). One of the things I have learned is that information in the case introduction section can help identify the problem being discussed in the case and whether it was resolved. The second thing I have learned about case study analysis is that the reader should recommend an effective solution to resolve the identified problem.

Question 
The case studies adopted in this course highlight the decision-making process in a business setting that will require you to conduct a thorough analysis of each case. You will be required to address the following areas in depth, using the “Ashford University Writing Center Guidelines for Writing a Case Study Analysis” provided in the course materials area.
Decision-Making Process in a Business
– Identify the key problems in the case
– Why do they exist?
– How do the problems impact the organization?
– Who is responsible for the problems?
– What is the best solution for the problems?
We will use our weekly discussions to explore your experience with the case analysis process to ensure it is working well for you, and to garner both peer and instructor support for your Capstone project.
For this discussion, make an initial post that addresses the following questions:
Briefly describe your experience with this week’s case study analysis process.
1. What is going well?
2. What challenges are you facing?
3. What additional support or resources are needed to ensure this week’s case analysis project is a success?
4. What have you learned about the case analysis process that might be of benefit to others in the class?
