CASE STUDY METHODOLOGY ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONSOVERVIEWResearchers describe the background of the problem to define the root problem and explain theorganizational consequences – this is where you will ‘well-define’ your case study. The problemstatement is a foundational component of the research study. In this assignment, you will beginto craft a single case study scenario by scoping the root problem. Then, you will research the rootproblem in the literature to determine how it starts and the broad organizational consequencesthat result before developing a researchable problem statement. Once the problem statement iswritten, 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 RQsmust be in alignment to ensure a reliable study will occur. If there could be any question, thisassignment is about focusing your case study in preparation for your advanced doctoral researchproject (ADRP). Biblical integration is NOT required in this assignment.INSTRUCTIONSAfter reviewing the required material stated in this week’s module, address the following in awritten 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., organizationalconsequences.• Clearly enunciate the study purpose• Create a problem statement and ensure it includes:o A general problem sentence.o Three supporting sentences showing that the problem currently exists. Eachsupporting sentence must be supported with a different peer-reviewed scholarlysource no older than five (5) years.o A specific problem sentence that includes the location of the study andorganization type (using Moore’s (2022) template).• Provide a research question that aligns with the problem statement, ensuring it isexploratory, not assumptive, and not specific to an organization. For your ADRP, youmay 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 toabout 300 words.REQUIRED FORMATCover PageAbstractBUSI 830Page 2 of 5Introduction (remember, we don’t use this word, but the intro is the text after the title upto the first L1 heading)Background of the ProblemCase Study PurposeProblem StatementResearch Question(s)Protocol, Methodology, Data CollectionConclusionReferencesADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTSUse the provided Case Study Methodology Assignment Template.This 1000 minimum, 1500 maximum word paper needs to be written to include these guidelines:• The required title, abstract, running head, and reference pages are not included in therequired assignment word count but are required as part of your paper.• Materials submitted to fulfill requirements in one course may not be submitted in anothercourse. Concerns about the propriety of obtaining outside assistance and acknowledgingsources should be addressed to the instructor of the course before the work commencesand as necessary as the work proceeds.• This paper must include at least seven references from peer-reviewed scholarly articlesthat have publication dates no older than 5 years. Do not use any books.• All parts of the assignment must be based on peer-reviewed scholarly sources.• In-text citations are required to support your (a) statements, (b) points, (c) assertions, (d)issues, (e) arguments, (f) concerns, (g) paragraph topic sentences, and (h) statements offact and opinion. Refer to Section 8.1, Appropriate Level of Citation on pages 253 and254 in the APA Manual (7th ed.).• Do not provide any personal opinions.• Refrain from using phrases such as, “in this paper.”• Sources of information from Wikipedia, dictionaries, websites, blogs, and encyclopediaswill not be accepted.• A paragraph is defined in this course as being at least 4 sentences in length and structuredin a cohesive manner. Consider using the MEAL approach for writing paragraphs:o M – Main topic using peer-reviewed scholarly sources.o E – Evidence to support the main topic using peer-reviewed scholarly sources.o A – Analysis (e.g., for and against) of the evidence using peer-reviewed scholarlysources.o L – Lead back to the main topic or to the main topic in the next paragraph usingpeer-reviewed scholarly sources.• Avoid (a) clichés, (b) slang, (c) jargon, (d) exaggerations, (e) abbreviations, (f) figurativelanguage, and (g) language that is too informal and too subjective.• Submit your final document for grading with file name syntax: LastNameFirstInitialAssignment Name #.
