Overview
CONCLUSIONS, REASONS, EVIDENCE is the structure of your written report for a case analysis.
CONCLUSIONS are the answers to the questions posed by the case, and one (1) conclusion per question is proper. Ensure you answer the complete question if it is a compound question.
REASONS are why your argument is best or optimal for parties involved.
EVIDENCE deals with how your Conclusions and Reasons have been used or employed in the past to solve similar situations or if some sort of precedence exists for support of conclusions and associated reasons. Evidence is readily available from your textbook for the answers to the questions posed during the course. Cite your evidence for your conclusions and associated reasons.
Each written case analysis assignment will use the standard outline: Abstract, Conclusions, Reasons, Evidence. Each section should comprise a separate subheading in the written assignment deliverable. Abstract is 250 words or less and summarizes, not introduces, the case analysis.
VOLKSWAGEN Case Deliverable.
Complete a case brief that provides your conclusions, reasons and evidence related to the following questions:
- While Volkswagen claimed to support ethics and sustainability, how can they recover from this ethical disaster?
- Do you believe this scandal will lead to tougher scrutiny of companies’ environmental claims in the future? Why or why not?
Ensure you address or specify each element or question fully or completely and provide adequate reasons and sufficient evidence for your conclusion to be acceptable to a majority of organizational stakeholders, especially the primary stakeholders (Owners, Board, Executive Leadership Team).
