Description
CASE DESCRIPTION This case concerns the arrival of a Chief Executive in a small private company and his need to take stock of the company, and with the information that is available, plan a systematic collection of data, review the position and develop a strategy for the future. The case also deals with the development of a small business and in a minor way with some organizational development issues. The case is suitable for a number of levels of use from undergraduate to post- graduate and post experience (MBA) classes. The level of answers and analysis will vary with the level and previous understanding of business. Part One could take two class hours, Part Two three hours and Part Three three hours. The first part allows the student to consider being suddenly responsible and having little information or resources. They are invited to consider what to do first, then to plan the collection of systematic quantitative and qualitative data and the implementation of some way forward. Part Two provides information for the next three years and allows comparison of the student's ideas in Part One with what actually happened. Part Three moves on to consider the way forward for the restored company- based on the actual position.
