Make sure you know all of the "lists" from the book.

The one thing I did right for this course: I kept up on a weekly basis, even though I was gone for one of the weeks.  I got a little ahead, and turned in my paper early the night before I left so that I wasn't scrambling when I got home.  I read the chapter, took notes, and did the discussion or paper early every single week.  I'm really, really glad I did so, because it made life much easier - and I got a 100% on every Case Study.

The other thing I will say is that I wish I would have started on the Final project sooner.  If I would have done a little at a time as I went along, I would have been happier.  I had paralysis of the analysis, and couldn't choose a topic.  I should have just chosen one and gone with it, it didn't really matter much in the end (I mean, I didn't care about any of them honestly).  So as you go along in the chapters, do the case study and then apply that to whatever scenario you choose and do a little research or write a bit on it, and it will start to lay itself out.  Keep doing it bit by bit instead of waiting until the end.

Good luck!

No problem!

Definitely start on the final project as soon as you can. I'm in the last week of my business capstone and I've only just started writing my paper now, so in hindsight I kinda wish I started earlier. (this is going to be a fun week for me)

I got it done in 4 VERY long days.  Kicking myself for not starting sooner, it was not a fun week.

What company did you end up writing your paper on? I know that the main prompt provided in the course about Google leaving China is a popular one although it is a bit outdated (considering the fact that Google left China 8 years ago).
