Description for case is given below :
In early 2009 Andrew Sears, Executive Director of TechMission, a Christian social service nonprofit, faced a challenge known to many not-for-profit organizations, how to develop a sustainable organization, especially in an economic climate where charitable giving had declined. With limited resources and an expanding portfolio of programs, he had to balance three competing factors within TechMission: staying true to its Christian principles, sustaining its credibility in urban communities, and using technology as the driver for promoting social justice. Different initiatives presented different paths for potential growth. As well as determining the correct path, Sears knew that any path would require obtaining additional funding, potentially from secular organizations. The challenge was securing this funding in a tightening market and then allocating it to the initiatives that had the most potential. Additionally, it would be necessary to assure that all initiatives had the right programs, people and funding to move forward.

Description for case is given below :
The three founding members of The Mammals–Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, Ruth Ungar, and Mike Merenda–were facing a major decision. In the year just ending, the string band specializing in folk rock music had played over 160 concerts, earning approximately $100,000 in gross revenues but leaving little time to write or prepare new music. Signature Sounds Records had offered the group a recording contract. They needed to decide whether to accept the record deal and leverage Signature Sounds’ financial and marketing resources or to remain independent. Would the record label want them to tone down their sometimes-controversial songs and compromise their artistic values? They also had questions as to the role of their two backup musicians, Mike’s brother and a childhood friend. Should they join The Mammals on a permanent basis? The case presents information on the music industry in general and the folk segment in particular.

Description for case is given below :
Fisk Alloy Wire was a privately-owned specialty wire mill with facilities in Hawthorne, NJ and Oriskany, NY. The business focused on the development and manufacture of copper alloy wire for electronic components and conductors. Fisk Alloy had developed a copper alloy wire that was cadmium free (cadmium was a known carcinogen affecting both processing and disposal), but also met the characteristics of strength, conductivity, and elongation that defined a high performance wire. The product family, called Percon, was introduced into the market about the time the European Union passed the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (‘RoHS’) and the related Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (‘WEEE’) directives. The total market potential for Percon was not really known, since it could potentially be used in a broad variety of applications. Fisk Alloy was determined to be the best in its niche of the industry, but not necessarily the biggest. Management recognized that determining how to grow, slowly and opportunistically or more aggressively, would require balancing the market opportunities with the realities of capacity and related production issues.

Description for case is given below :
The board of Babbitt Ranches had officially adopted a constitution to guide the future of the family business. Babbitt Ranches was a fourth-generation, 122 year old family firm with extensive landholdings in Arizona. The firm’s board recognized responsibility and obligation to organizational, ecological, economical, and community values through multiple bottom-line criteria in the new constitution. In addition, the constitution reinforced the family’s heritage by outlining a philosophy designed to direct processes, interactions, and critical decisions. Several business opportunities were being considered by the board that could be evaluated using the framework provided by the constitution. The challenge for Billy Cordasco, the firm’s president, was to operationalize the constitution to evaluate the current set of opportunities and to ensure the constitution was used as a “touchstone” for firm decisions on an ongoing basis.

Case ID :            NA0133
Discipline :        Entrepreneurship
Case Length :    15 pages
Solution sample availability : YES
Plagiarism : NO (100% Original work)
Description for case is given below :
Carolina Pad had received several requests for cash payments from internet bloggers in exchange for product reviews. The requests were for relatively small amounts (none more than $1000). The company believed that paying the bloggers’ would offer a significantly higher rate of return on their promotional dollars than traditional advertising or other forms of promotion. Like many other companies, Carolina Pad provided review products to bloggers, but questioned whether cash payments were somehow different. The case examines the ethics of making cash and in-kind payments to bloggers for product reviews. The case also examines the question of whether bloggers are journalists and should adhere to the same journalist standards as news reporters or simply writers of internet infomercials.

John Calhoun, one of two brothers who own Stratton Auto, of Stratton, Vermont, has been contacted by Tyler Mann, the owner of one of the firms that wholesales Stratton’s unwanted used cars. Mann has been asked for a kickback in return for receiving good-condition used cars from Stratton Auto at a discount, by Blake Power, a Sales Manager at Stratton Auto. Mann had previously provided a small kickback for the purchase of one car, but Power was now asking for much more. Calhoun investigates the situation, reviews a past precedent, and talks to a senior sales manager. After discussing the situation with his brother John Calhoun confronts Blake concerning the situation. Blake admits to the facts as stated, but does not apologize for his actions. Calhoun is concerned that firing Power might be a problem since it is now close to Christmas. He is also concerned with the impact any decision will have on his employees. Both brothers pride themselves on their ethical, employee, and community oriented practices. The case concludes with Calhoun wondering what to do.

Description for case is given below :
The transition of a company from father to son can often lead to new strategic directions for a company. New leaders have to face issues carried over from the past and confront new challenges facing the business. One of the most fundamental issues 2nd generation leaders have to deal with is the evaluation of new opportunities. Which ones are feasible, which ones are not, and how do these opportunities impact the business, both financially and in terms of its overall strategic position? This case focuses on a rather unique business – an urban ferry and tour boat operator – as its new CEO evaluates several options for reversing a downward trend in profitability. Besides quantitative analysis, what qualitative factors have to be considered in choosing the best path forward? Students are given the opportunity to develop an analytic model based on guidelines available in the Instructor’s Manual. The case also allows students to consider stakeholder impacts for several possible strategies.

Description for case is given below :
The case is designed to generate a discussion concerning the motivations and risks of initiating policies of corporate ethics and social responsibility and the potential advantages and disadvantages of embracing these policies. It describes a situation in which an international giant in the tourist and hospitality industry must make a choice between profit maximization and the risk that a new venture has potential for contributing to sex trafficking and the sexual exploitation of children. As such, it looks at the role of the travel and tourism industry in the sexual exploitation of children, including the ways in which airlines and hotels transport pedophiles to countries where children are available for exploitation. It also discusses national and international law and remedies regarding the sexual exploitation of children. By focusing on the Chief Executive’s commitment to children and to combating child sex trafficking, the case encourages undergraduate and graduate-level students of business ethics, corporate social responsibility and leadership studies to consider the competing demands of business opportunity and social responsibility and the obligations business leaders must assume toward resolving moral issues. The case calls attention to the challenges of corporate social responsibility in a complex world

Description for case is given below :
Rait Kalda, vice president of operations for AS Estonian Air, faced a challenge: how should Estonian Air address projected increases in intra-European flight demand in light of high fuel costs, competitive challenges, economic uncertainty, and last year’s net loss? If Kalda’s assessment led to expanding Estonian Air’s fleet, he had to decide which plane model would achieve operational efficiencies, satisfy load factor requirements, and meet various other performance and financial metrics. In order to fully comprehend Kalda’s challenge, the case first presents the reader with a brief synopsis of Estonia’s economy; the airline industry; and the three types of competitive airline industry groups- legacy carriers, low cost carriers, and regional carriers. This is followed by an overview of Estonian Air’s competitors and its opportunities for growth. The case provides detailed information regarding the advantages and disadvantages of the Boeing 737 Jet, the Bombardier Q400 Turboprop, and a used Saab 340A turboprop. Finally, the case summarizes Estonian Air’s internal analysis and growth strategy, with pertinent input from conversations between Rait Kalda and the vice president of finance and administration, Andrus Aljas. Students are required to complete an operational analysis on factors such as capacity, fuel savings, and utilization rates. If Estonian Air does indeed decide to expand, the case states that the airline will continue with its past practice of leasing the aircraft. Using current financial statements, as well as information presented in the case, students can also prepare a basic net present value (NPV) model and scenario analysis for leasing each of the aircraft alternatives. Finally, students have the opportunity to combine both qualitative and quantitative factors to support their analysis.

Description for case is given below :
In June 2010, New Zealand “ecopreneur” Grant Hall needed to make some hard decisions regarding the future of his company, Good Water. He had started the company with the vision of wanting to sell water in bottles made from local biomass, with the used bottle waste separated, recycled, and transformed into plant containers. These would biodegrade to support new plant-life and eventually local biomass for further production of water bottles. A number of key partners had come together in the wider Good Water Project to develop a revolutionary square, biodegradable, plant-based plastic PLA bottle. These included an environmental trust, the Sir Peter Blake Trust, to which Good Water donated a small percentage of the sales revenue from each bottle. The Good Water Company, selling water in these bottles, had started making a small profit. Grant believed a tenfold increase in PLA bottle sales volume would result in PLA making up the required level of 3-4% of plastic bottles recycled. That level would mean PLA was likely to be separated in the waste stream in New Zealand, and allow his vision to become a reality. Grant had convinced one competitor to adopt the PLA bottle, but overall, PLA volume was still way too low. Grant had also just been told that the Good Water Company’s own sales volume did not justify shelf preference at a major supermarket chain – and he knew the business was not well-capitalized to take on a further investment in the bottled water industry that was dominated by two big players. He had called a meeting of his staff to discuss with them how to reconcile his environmental vision with a viable business model.
