Here are the minimum requirements for the case study responses

Ensure the questions are addressed

Identify the key and underlying issues. This is not a simple listing of the issues, but an in-depth analysis that includes how the issues apply to the concepts and theories you have learned within the course

Develop the key facts to support the issues. This is an area that will require some thought with the expectation that you will only list pertinent data

Discuss the solution to the problem and how to implement it to become more effective. This is an analysis of the problem within the case study. Also, make efforts to support your solutions with references from the textbook, readings, or other sources

Demonstrate that you understand the topic and data by linking the theories and concepts highlighted in the textbook with your case study response

Consider the following
You have been working for Alpha Management for almost two years. You are in the office
working on Sunday to prepare for an important meeting the next day. After putting some
PowerPoint slides together, you decide to print a copy for review. You leave your office and
make your way to the copy room, which serves as both a copy room and supply room. You can
get common supplies (e.g., pens, paper, staples, etc.). Upon arriving to retrieve your copies, you
notice your supervisor is in the copy/supply room. This seems a little unusual, especially since
it’s a weekend and you thought you were the only one in the office. After some ‘professional
small talk,’ you notice he has been putting a large quantity of office supplies in his laptop case.
Before you can ask him what he’s doing, he quickly tells you that he has a home office where he
does much of his weekend work. You have not heard of or seen a policy for taking office
supplies home. He then tells you that if you need any extra supplies, you can just take them,
since you are probably doing some work at home. You don’t take any supplies, but you thank
him for the offer. As you leave the copy/supply room, you see him putting some of the supplies
back on the shelves. On your drive home that afternoon, you think back to the situation, and it
just makes you feel uncomfortable. You then start trying to convince yourself that it’s only pens
and paper. Also, who knows, there may be some type of company policy that allows this. You
go back to work on Monday, and the same supervisor comes to your office and asks how the
rest of your weekend was; he has not done that before. What do you do? Do you report this
activity through the chain of command? (He’s your direct supervisor.) Do you not report
because it’s only small office supplies and, who knows, there may be some type of policy that
allows this for home office use? Do you sit down with him and discuss the situation? Do you do
nothing; it’s no real issue and it’s only pens and paper?
