- The purpose of this memo is to give you an opportunity to start to “Ideate and Explore” your thinking about the Levy Case Study. You will choose one video clip from the Themes handout (Leadership, Communication, etc.) that we reviewed during class to analyze. Here, if you need it, is the URL to find the HBR Case Study. https://hbr.org/product/paul-levy-taking-charge-of-the-beth-israel-deaconess-medical-center-multimedia-case/124HBD-HTM-ENG
Your focus for this memo is to show clearly what problem Levy is addressing, what Levy did to address the problem, and your peer reviewed articles to support your thinking. Secondly, please state why you are passionate about addressing this issue.
How to Steps:
- Review the Levy Case Study Topics , below, and determine what you are passionate about studying from the Levy Case Themes handout (leadership, board, communication). Load the Levy CD and view a few Themes video clips to see which one you would like to analyze for your case study.
- Identify what the key issues for your topic in the Levy case. In the example below I’m reviewing the issues with board roles and board size. State what Levy did and think about whether you agree or disagree with his position. Then do some research to support your point.
- Research 2 peer reviewed articles that support your thinking on the issues above (Clip: board roles should not micromanage, 2- current board size is too large). To find the articles, Go to databases in the NU Library, http://library.northwestu.edu/databases/, click on Business Source Complete and enter your Search terms, check the full text, peer reviewed boxes. If you need help ask a librarian (you can contact a research librarian during the day on your phone).. Hannah Co, Digital Services Librarian
