CASE STUDY: FINAL ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW

This is not technically a “case study.” This is a general E.S.S.A.Y on the mechanics and function of risk management. A case study is particularized. Here, the assignment instructions call for a case study on an historical event (REAL). An historical event might look something like “Acme Corp. failed to properly execute its risk management protocols in response to XYZ event.”

The student will write a research-based “writing assistance” (P.A.P.E.R) analyzing a corporate or government risk management response of at least 10 pages in Bluebook format. The Case Study is the student’s opportunity to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of risk management principles. The student must choose a past corporate or government risk event and analyze the success or failure of the risk management program. The Case Study must be 10 pages of text, not including the title page and bibliography, using current Bluebook format. Use the Case Study Guide on the next page to develop your paper. The Case Study must include the following sections: Introduction and Thesis Statement (1 page or less), Risk Event (2-3 pages), Risk Mitigation (2-3 pages), Anaylsis (4-5 pages), and Conclusion (1 page or less). The focus of the Case Study is the student’s analysis. Frame your paper so that the focal point is your examination of what went wrong, or why the particular risk management program succeeded in mitigating or avoiding the impact of the risk. Argue for change, make a compelling argument for government regulation, make a compelling argument for deregulation, or persuade industry leaders to adopt different methods. Do not limit your research to catastrophes, disasters, and other risk management failures. Consider writing a case study on a strategy that successfully mitigated risk (REAL). Also contemplate the difference between government and corporate approaches to risk management. As these instructions are being drafted, governments around the world are implementing protocols to mitigate the risk of COVID-19. Your P.A.P.E.R must be written in 12-point, Times New Roman font with 1-inch margins. It must include a title page, page numbers, and a Bibliography. You must use a minimum of 15 scholarly sources in addition to the course textbook and assigned readings. You are not required to cite the textbook or assigned readings. You must submit the P.A.P.E.R as a Microsoft Word file. Proper spelling, grammar, and sentence structure is expected. Short, choppy sentences are NOT acceptable. This is a graduate level course, and deductions will be made accordingly. You must not use personal pronouns (I, me, we, us, our, etc.), and the standards of academic writing must be applied.
