Chapter 3 Case

Q Read and consider the Chapter 3 Case: Home Depot's Bumpy Road to Equality on pages 139 through 140. Answer the two questions at the end of the case meeting the deliverables as outlined in your course syllabus under the section titled "Written Case Studies and Chapter Cases". Written Case Studies and Chapter Cases The student will write a thorough essay (750 to 1250 words excluding cover page for Case Studies; 500 – 750 words for Chapter Cases) that answer all questions applying to the case and provided by the author. Do not submit as a numbered Q & A submission or as a bulleted list of data submission but rather as a completed written paper. The student should relate the case to the chapter materials and issues. All students should do any Internet and/or library database research required prior to writing his or her response (multiple sources adds credibility). Because this is a upper division course, students are responsible for their own time management and as such, should ensure they complete the papers earlier, rather than waiting until the night the assignment is due. The instructor does not recognize Wikipedia as a suitable reference source due to the editable nature of the material found there that raises concerns about veracity and validity of content. Do not cite Wikipedia nor list in your references for the written assignments. Ensure that proper grammar, sentence structure, and material citations are included for maximum point consideration. Include properly formatted cover and reference page for all case submissions. Your reference page for the Case Studies has to include at least two resources, in addition to your textbook. Submit as an attachment in APA format as a Microsoft® Word document only. Access GBC’s Academic Success Center web page for resources to aid in proper formatting http://www.gbcnv.edu/asc/ (Links to an external site.). Due to the high point allocation of these written assignments, a high quality submission is expected with depth, detail, and analysis for maximum point consideration. Anticipate approximately one week turnaround time for grading.
