Ethics case study analysis
The purpose of the report, and most academic assignments, is to use theories that are relevant to the topic that you have been allocated. In order to do this, it is important you undertake reasonably in-depth analyses of some of the key issues that are asked in the question – ethics, decision making and or stakeholders. For each of these topics/issues you must undertake further reading.
For example, in a case study where stakeholders are identified you must identify and analyse the stakeholder(s), their typology using legitimacy/urgency/power/proximity and discuss your conclusion. This type of analytical discussion requires the development, support, and critique, of the arguments relating to the position that you wish to present. The arguments should be logically developed and supported through the use of a broad range of texts and books that provide evidence for your analysis. A wide range of research provides a broad array of perspectives on the topic and will also be more likely to provide some critical analysis (ie relative alternative perspectives).
The approach must be the analysis of the case using theory as evidence to support your arguments and also to critique the arguments. This is why the quality of the material you use in your assignments is so important. It is important in the analysis that there is academic literature which is applied to support and build your arguments, and therefore it is recommended to use scholarly and academic material. (Grade A-B Reference sources only)
It is critical to avoid listing the details of the theory in favour of application to the case. Theory gives us the ability to analyse and rationalise complex situations, this is the purpose of a case study. For example, a list of theory features is of no value to the assessment task unless it is critically applied to the case. It is useful to avoid the use of diagrams that replicate what has been stated in the text. If you are going to use diagrams, it is important to use them as a tool to show connections between issues and illustrate the arguments that you are developing or points you are discussing. All diagrams must be supported by your argument in the text.

Paragraph construction (example)
There are three dominant factors influencing the decision made by Jackson to terminate xyz’semployment. Using bounded rationality, it can be observed that the dominant factors were time, personal perception and group influence (Simon, 1957). The next 4 to 6 sentences analyse the case.
What not to do:
Considering the Maslow Law, it states that at work human looks to fulfil their most basic needs and then their needs transferred to another level of needs. Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs shows the five levels of needs from lower level to higher level. Five needs are classified as Physiological need, Safety needs, Social needs, Esteem needs and Self-actualization needs. Money is very important as it is essential for livings. A Person can buy food, shelter and clothes with money and fulfil the most basic need of living. An organization can fulfil the most basic needs of employees by paying them good salaries. If employees are easily fulfilling their basic needs then they can give more time and attention towards their work. Their minds are free from the tensions that how they can buy food, pay for shelter and clothes. When the first need is fulfilled then human inclined to fulfil their next level of needs i.e. Safety needs. Organization can offers insurance and provident funds scheme to fulfil the security requirements. In it money is used as Insurance policy and funds because after their retirement employee will have sufficient money to live their life.
