SAINT MGT377 MODULE 3 case study 1

MGT 377 Case Study 1 Guidelines

Instructions:

Case studies require the ability to assess the presented situation and then synthesize this information to

make recommendations that minimize the risk for other organizations.

For your first case study, review Case 7, Butler Systems (pp. 467-468 of your textbook) and then, after an

introductory paragraph, provide a summary of the situation. In subsequent paragraphs, address the

following:

1. As the VP of operations, what is your assessment of the battery shortage problem, and what

actions would you take and why?

2. What is the buying organization’s role in selecting and qualifying potential suppliers?

Present the key learnings that came out of the situation and make recommendations to improve the

situation presented. Consider the Saint Leo core value of respect as you consider your decisions on the

best ways to address the situation. In your paper, you will need to show how excellence factored into your

decisions.

The paper should conclude with a summary paragraph that answers the question, “why should anyone

care” about this situation.

Although there are no limitations to the length of the paper required for the case study assignments, in

general, the paper should be at least two double-spaced pages. Be sure to follow all APA requirements.

Submit Case Study 1 to the Dropbox no later than Thursday 11:59 PM EST/EDT of Module 3.
