Case Study: Topic and Outline Assignment Instructions
Overview
For this assignment, you will be writing an outline for the case study that you will write later in the course. Before you can do the outline, you need to know what a case study is and the requirements for the case study. This assignment is only outline. Instructions below
Case studies are an important part of most graduate programs as they reveal more readily the concept or theory discussed in a real-world context. Consider the chapters you have read from the Hill text that present a case study of an organization. In each of these chapters, the way organizations incorporate various values (ex. love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness) is described in real-world scenarios. This helps us see how the value, reactions to the value, and outcomes from demonstrating the value might be displayed—and thus, presents a rich case for learning best practices and enables us to take God with us to work and everywhere.
Case Studies are stories that develop a person, or a group of people, or an organization over a specific time period (ex. day, week, month, year). A case study analyzes what occurred during this time period. Choosing an organization to do this case study can sometimes be the most difficult part. Choose an organization that has information available that can help you determine a value that is displayed. Choose an organization (BOMBAS)
I chose BOMBAS:
Link is: https://shop.bombas.com/pages/giving-back that does not already say what their Biblical value is.
Choose an organization where you have to decide what the Biblical value is based on the organization’s actions. Choose an organization that is not faith based. You would not use Chick-Fil-A or Hobby Lobby because they already display their Christian values. You would choose another organization and decide for yourself what value they demonstrate. Sometimes these values are not written but you may have to determine for yourself if an action that this organization does is a Biblical value.
For your Case Study Paper, you will select an organization and review a Biblical value that the organization has displayed by writing a story and developing a person or a group of people at this organization. Remember you have to write a story that shows the example of this organization displaying this Biblical value. You will not be writing just about the organization. Write a case study where a person or group of people displayed a Biblical value. Tell the story. Back up the actions of the people or group in the organization with scholarly references, the text, and with the Bible (this is the most important part).
Choose an organization not in your text and not one that you have used in a previous course. Identify a Biblical value exhibited by the organization. Discuss and expand on this discussion as to how this Biblical value connects to the organization and the story. The purpose of this is for you to be able to identify Biblical values in organizations. Remember, Biblical values can certainly be displayed in secular workplaces; after all, all truth is God’s truth!
Choose 1 of these values (Choose Kindness): Galatians 5:22 NIV. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. If you have another Biblical value that you would like to use, please get this approved by the professor prior to submitting your outline.
Above is information about the case study to help you plan your outline. This outline will detail how you will write your case study. You will also be doing a training presentation based on this case study. This outline, the case study, and the training presentation should all be on the same organization.
Instructions
For this topic and outline assignment, please have a title page that first has the title that includes the organization’s name and the Biblical value that you will be presenting. The title page should also include your name, date that this is submitted, your professor’s name, and the course number and name.
On the next page after the title page, write one paragraph explaining why you chose this organization. Be sure to include why this organization is important to you, why this is a good organization to research, what the Biblical value is, and why this value is important to the business and to people and to you?
Following the topic paragraph and on the next page, type an outline that demonstrates how you will write this case study. Below is how this outline should be typed and organized. The content of this outline may change but this should be the start of your planning for this case study paper assignment.
This assignment must include at least 5 scholarly resources in addition to the course textbook and the Bible (King James Version or New Internationl Verson). These references should be used in the topic paragraph (one paragraph) and in the outline.

Abstract
Begin your abstract at the left margin. This is the only paragraph that should not be indented.
Unless otherwise instructed, APA recommends an abstract be no more than 250 words. It should
generally not contain any citations or direct quotes. This should be a tight, concise summary of
the main points in your paper, not a step-by-step of what you plan to accomplish in your paper.
Avoid phrases such as “this paper will,” and just structure your sentences to say what you want
to say. The following three sentences exemplify a good abstract style: There are many
similarities and differences between the codes of ethics for the ACA and the AACC. Both include
similar mandates in the areas of —-, —, and —. However, each differs significantly in the areas
of —, —, and —. For more detailed information, see “Writing an Abstract” at
https://www.liberty.edu/casas/academic-success-center/wp-content/uploads/sites/28/2019/04/
Writing_an_Abstract_Revised_2012.pdf (note that you would not include any links in your
abstract). This is just now at 168 words, so eyeball how brief your abstract must be. Think of
your paper as a movie you want to sound enticing, and the abstract as the summary of the plot
you would share to draw people’s interest into wanting to come and see your movie. You want to
really hook and intrigue them. What you have to say is important! Remember to stay under 250,
words. Keywords highlight the search terms someone would use to find your paper in a database.
Keywords: main words, primary, necessary, search terms
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL STUDENTS 6
Sample APA Paper: Professional Format for Graduate/Doctoral Students
The title of your paper goes on the top line of the first page of the body (American
Psychological Association [APA], 2019, section 2.11). It should be centered, bolded, and in title
case (all major words—usually those with four+ letters—should begin with a capital letter)—see
p. 51 of your Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association: Seventh Edition
(APA, 2019; hereinafter APA-7). It must match the title that is on your title page (see last line on
p. 32). As shown in the previous sentence, use brackets to denote an abbreviation within
parentheses (bottom of p. 159). Write out the full name of an entity or term the first time
mentioned before using its acronym (see citation in first sentence in this paragraph), and then use
the acronym throughout the body of the paper (section 6.25).
There are many changes in APA-7. One to mention here is that APA-7 allows writers to
include subheadings within the introductory section (APA, 2019, p. 47). Since APA-7 now
regards the title, abstract, and term “References” to all be Level-1 headings, a writer who opts to
include headings in his or her introduction must begin with Level-2 headings as shown above
(see section 2.27) for any divisions within the introductory section.
If you do choose to include headings in your introduction section (which is optional), be
sure to include two or more subheadings, since APA (2019) forbids stand-alone heading levels.
A second notable change in APA-7 is that writers are no longer required to cite their source every
single sentence that content from it is mentioned (section 8.1). As demonstrated in this paper,
since all of the content (other than the examples included for illustration and reference-entry
variation purposes) comes directly from the APA-7 itself, citations to the APA-7 are only
included for the first instance in each paragraph. Section and/or page numbers are included
parenthetically throughout for the sake of students who desire to know exactly where the stated
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL STUDENTS 7
rule appears in the APA-7 itself. In your academic papers, however, it is critical to include the
required author(s) and year, as applicable, for all citations that are included; this may include
more than one citation for each resource per paragraph, as required to avoid any confusion about
the source of that content.
Basic Rules of Scholarly Writing
Most beginning students have difficulty learning how to write papers and also format
papers correctly using the seventh edition of the APA manual. However, the Liberty University
Online Writing Center’s (OWC) mission includes helping students learn how to be autonomous,
proficient writers. The OWC also provides students with templates to help them with basic
formatting elements, but this sample paper is designed to help graduate and doctoral students
learn to master APA rules and formatting on their own, which will prove helpful as they progress
in their studies and work toward future publication in scholarly journals.
For the purpose of instruction, this paper will use second person (you, your), but third
person (this author) must be used in most student papers. First person (I, me, we, us, our) is not
generally permitted in academic papers. Students should refrain from using first or second person
in college courses (even though the APA manual encourages this in other writing venues) unless
the assignment instructions clearly permit such (as in the case of personal reflection sections or
life histories). If in doubt, students should clarify with their professors.
APA-7 delineates separate rules and guidelines between “student” and “professional”
writers (APA, 2019). Because a primary purpose of graduate and doctoral studies is to prepare
those students to publish professionally, Liberty University has decided to have undergraduate
students follow APA-7’s guidelines for “student papers,” and graduate/doctoral students follow
APA-7’s guidelines for “professional papers.” Separate templates are available for each level.
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL STUDENTS 8
This sample paper illustrates and discusses the rules and formatting of professional papers, as
required for all Liberty University graduate and doctoral courses using APA-7 style.
Brief Summary of Changes in APA-7
Most of these changes will be discussed in more detail below; this is just a very brief
overview here. APA-7 reverts back to only one space after closing punctuation in the body of the
paper (APA-6 required two spaces; APA, 2019, section 6.1). Student (undergraduate) papers no
longer include a running head or abstract (sections 2.2 and 2.8); professional (graduate/doctoral)
papers require an abstract but the running head is now the same on all pages (the added phrase
“Running head:” from APA-6 has been eliminated; see section 2.8). Title pages are different for
both student and professional formats. The title of a paper is no longer limited to 12 words
(section 2.4).
Citations of all resources with three or more authors now use the first author’s last name
and the term et al. (APA, 2019, section 8.17). Reference entries must name up to the first 19
authors before adding an ampersand and ellipsis (up from APA-6’s six authors; section 9.8).
APA-7 omits the phrase DOI and instead standardizes DOIs to be presented in hyperlink format
(i.e., https://doi.org/10.1177%2F1524838017742386; section 9.35). Formatting guidelines for
annotated bibliographies are included in APA-7 (section 9.51), as well as expanded and
standardized reference entry examples. As discussed above, it is no longer necessary to cite a
source every single time you refer to content gleaned from it as long as it is clear the content
comes from that source (section 8.1); APA-7 also expanded the specific location noted in the
citation to include page, paragraph, section (as used throughout this sample paper, to direct the
student to the exact relevant content), chapter, timestamp, etc. (section 8.13).
APA-7 allows for “self-plagiarism” (clarified and defined below). It also invites writers to
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL STUDENTS 9
highlight the most relevant work first, rather than just present all works in alphabetical order
(APA, 2019, section 8.12).
