BUSI 830 Week 6 Multiple-Case Case Study Assignment
BUSI 830 Week 6 Multiple-Case Case Study Assignment
MULTIPLE-CASE CASE STUDY ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
In this Module: Week, we will discuss the final stage of case studies – sharing or reporting of your case study. Many business problems (complex, with breadth and depth) warranting a case study that a single holistic case cannot address on its own. A Lean Six Sigma integrated Multiple-Case Case Study is just the business solution because generally these cases will require some quantitative or mixed methods elements. Use the excellent case presented in the Zhang et al. (2015) article as a model for your multiple-case case study.
INSTRUCTIONS
After reviewing the Learn material for the Module: Week, address the following paper in current APA format:
1. Define the case study report audience and the appropriate reporting methodology
2. Compose visual and textual materials of a case study report
3. Explain the appropriate amount of evidence to present to facilitate the reader’s own conclusions to a case study
4. Design a multiple-case case study that while covering multiple cases still draws a single set of cross-case conclusions (single large organization, not multi-organizational).
You will include Lean Six Sigma specifically in the Design (type 4), Collect and Analysis (cross-case synthesis) phases of your case study (use the Zhang et al. (2015) article as a model). [Also see Boxes 3, 32, and 38 (Yin, 2018)]

Grading Metrics
Consult the accompanying rubric for how your instructor will grade this assignment.
Also, any form of plagiarism, including cutting and pasting, will result in zero points for the entire assignment. All quoted materials must be properly cited in current APA format.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool. The tool is a starting point for instructors to check overall Academic Integrity and higher scores generally indicate a higher probability of Academic Misconduct. The higher a score, the higher the probability that there are too many quotations included in the narrative, and/or there are passages
that have not been properly cited.
