"OptiGuard. Inc.: Series A–Round Term Sheet" focuses on an entrepreneur in the cybersecurity industry who is attempting raise a first round of venture financing in November 2015. To date, the firm has been unsuccessful in attracting funding from venture capitalists (VCs) and has instead relied on a small seed round from local investors. With funds running short, the entrepreneur is again attempting to raise funds from VCs. During this process, it receives a bridge loan from a reputable venture capital firm to tide it over until it can complete a Series A round with the same firm. In November 2015, it receives the terms for a $5 million Series A round, and the students must evaluate the adequacy of the offer in light of other comparable financing rounds and how the terms will affect the future performance and other aspects of the firm in light of the high likelihood of future financing rounds. The case's main teaching purpose is to provide a basic understanding of the legal and financial issues encountered in early-stage investments. The case incorporates the term sheet for the proposed Series A round, and the pre–Series A capitalization of the company. The study questions pose several direct questions to the students to help them focus on the features of the term sheet that have the largest impact on the company's valuation and control.The case has been used successfully in an MBA-level entrepreneurial finance and private equity course, and a JD/MBA course in private equity. To facilitate preparation of the case, the materials include a student spreadsheet file (UVA-F-1798X) of the case exhibits, a detailed teaching note (UVA-F-1798TN), and an instructor file (UVA-F-1798TN).The companion note, "Early-Stage Term Sheets" (UVA-F-1730), is a useful background reading for the case. Excerpt UVA-F-1798 Rev. Sept. 5, 2017 OptiGuard, Inc.: Series A-Round Term Sheet In November 2015, Richard Mannix, CEO of OptiGuard, Inc., was in the process of seeking additional financing for his young cybersecurity company. Up to this point, Mannix had been unsuccessful in attracting venture-capital (VC) funding, and had only been able to raise $ 315,000 in seed capital from angel investors to develop the firm's first security-software applications. During the summer of 2015, with funds growing short, he began to search again for additional VC funding. In September 2015, he secured a bridge loan of $ 350,000 from Woodland Venture Partners (WVP), a Boston-based VC firm, which gave the firm some breathing room until a Series A–round financing could be completed. The bridge loan was straight debt, and repayment was contingent upon the completion of a Series A round. In November, Mannix was finally able to secure an offer from WVP for $ 5.0 million in convertible preferred stock. While Mannix welcomed the offer, he was uncertain whether the terms of the proposed agreement and the amount offered met his company's growing needs. With only $ 5.0 million coming from the Ser

The case demonstrates how a competent service strategy together with operations efficiency can lead to profit, and it explains the concept of an integrated approach tying together the customer value proposition with operational and human resource capabilities.

Excerpts from a talk that LUV's former CEO, Herb Kelleher, gave at the Darden School of Business is available to complement the case. Please see Elliott N.

Q4 2016 Gary Kelly, the CEO of Southwest Airlines (LUV), examined his computer screen once more, hoping to see something different. It was October 26, 2016, and LUV's stock price (NYSE: LUV) had just dropped more than 8.5% in premarket trading. After more than four decades of consecutive profitability, LUV's most recent earnings call had indicated a 4%-to-5% expected drop in Q4 revenue per available passenger seat mile. But as noted by industry analysts, many other airlines had seen a Q3 and Q4 boost “due to stronger September results, following a summer in which the Zika virus and terrorism deterred some passengers from flying.” On July 20, a major information-technology failure had put the entire operation into disarray. This failure had required several days to rectify, left tens of thousands of passengers stranded, and cost the company tens of millions of dollars. Shortly after the meltdown, four of the major employee unions (pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, and ramp agents) at LUV had issued a vote of no confidence in Kelly's leadership and in that of COO Mike Van de Ven. Both the pilot and flight-attendant unions had new contracts with LUV that were finally moving to a union vote; these might now be in jeopardy. Several hundred pilots had recently picketed both the board meeting in Chicago and Dallas Love Field, one of the main domiciles of LUV, for the first time in the airline's history. LUV sought concessions from flight attendants such as a longer duty day, but with the impact of the IT meltdown fresh in their memories, flight attendants were pushing back. . . .
本案例详细介绍了西南航空公司(LUV)的历史,并强调了集中战略的好处。本案例展示了合格的服务策略和运营效率如何带来利润,并解释了将客户价值主张与运营和人力资源能力结合在一起的集成方法的概念。在这种情况下,LUV必须考虑是否应该改变一些操作策略。LUV前首席执行官赫伯•凯莱赫在达顿商学院(Darden School of Business)的演讲节选可作为本案的补充。参见Elliott N.

The owner of a Cape Town, South Africa–based business, Sarak Wholesale Supplies, struggles to manage his cash flow and get his inventory under control (Sarak Wholesale has no formal order-cycle process). To improve the level of service Sarak Wholesale provided to its clients, he would need to formalize its ordering procedures. Excerpt UVA-OM-1570 May 19, 2017 Sarak Wholesale: Wishing for Control Sifiso Mulder looked through his inventory of goods, which he sold through his Cape Town, South Africa–based business, Sarak Wholesale Supplies. He had built the business through hustle and salesmanship…and perhaps a creative flair for figuring out what Cape Town tourists would find interesting. He supplied hundreds of entrepreneurial retailers, from the gift shop at Robben Island, to street vendors at Cape Town Stadium, to the shopkeepers at Bay Harbor Market in Hout Bay. None of his customers could afford a big inventory investment, so he had built his business through low costs and great service. Despite the growth in revenue—or perhaps because of it—Mulder struggled to manage his cash flow. He had convinced a few of his suppliers to provide inventory on consignment, but most required payment up front. Regardless, he knew that he needed to get his inventory under control if he wanted to make money. Because money was tight, he had started cutting back on inventory…but that had led to lots of out-of-stocks, which was hurting his reputation for customer service. Framing the Problem Mulder wasn't quite sure how to begin tackling the stock-out problem that had plagued Sarak Wholesale during the previous tourist season. He decided early on that his first goal should be to determine a reorder point for every stock-keeping unit (SKU) stocked by Sarak Wholesale to avoid missing sales revenue due to stock-outs without incurring needless costs. Mulder wasn't quite sure what would be an appropriate service level. He also wasn't convinced that the service level should be the same across all product categories. As an initial target, however, Mulder felt that Sarak Wholesale should have all standard gift items with the South African flag in stock and available for sale at least 90% of the time. He was less sure about the specialty with only the items that had the name of a particular destination like Robben Island or Table Mountain National Park printed on them. He thought such specialty items could have lower service levels because they were relevant to fewer customers. Mulder also wondered about deciding the right service level by product category. He worried about the competition in caps and coffee mugs, which mostly carried logos of the tourist attraction but could also be labeled with clever slogan, such as “I Love Hip-Hop” on his kiddie baseball caps. On the other hand, he knew his custom knives (sold on consignment) were not readily available to his customers from other wholesalers. After running his initial analysis, he decided that he

Set in late 2016, this case recounts the remarkable performance record of Blue Chip Growth Fund (BCGF), a mutual fund managed by Larry Puglia at T. Rowe Price, Inc. The case describes the investment style of Puglia, whose record with BCGF had on average outperformed the S&P 500 since the inception of the fund in 1993. The tasks for the student are to assess the performance of the fund, consider the sources of its success, and decide on the sustainability of Puglia's performance. Consistent with the introductory nature of the case, the analysis requires no numerical calculations. The instructor should not be deceived, however: the absorption of capital-market background and the implications of financial concepts in the case will fully occupy the novice. This case updates and replaces "Bill Miller and Value Trust" (UVA-F-1481) and "Peter Lynch and the Fidelity Magellan Fund" (UVA-F-0777). The case is intended for use in the opening stages of a finance course. It provides a nontechnical introduction to the U.S. equity markets and lays the foundation for some basic concepts in finance. Excerpt UVA-F-1772 Jun. 12, 2017 Larry Puglia and the T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Fund By late 2016, Larry J. Puglia had been managing the $ 33 billion T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Fund (Blue Chip Growth Fund) for more than 23 years. One of the fund's original managers, Puglia had been the sole manager of the open-ended mutual fund since 1997 and had generated superior returns on average for his investors over the life of the fund. Since inception in mid-1993 through September 30, 2016, the fund had returned an average annual total return of 10.12%, outperforming the 9.12% return of the fund's benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500). For most fund managers, beating the S&P 500 in any single year was an accomplishment, yet Puglia had served his investors well by performing better than competitor funds both in bull markets, such as that of the late 1990s, as well as the bear markets, such as that of the first decade of the 2000s. Exhibit 1 presents a summary of the Blue Chip Growth Fund. Exhibits 2 and 3 show the fund's performance and annual return versus its benchmark and other funds in the large-cap growth category. While Puglia, working out of T. Rowe Price's Baltimore, Maryland, headquarters, rarely had the best overall performance in any given year, and other managers had beaten his results over short-term periods, his overall long-term performance relative to the index was truly impressive. He ranked 20th out of 558 U.S. stock mutual funds with a single portfolio manager, and Morningstar had awarded the Blue Chip Growth Fund its coveted five-star rating for the fund's five-year performance, placing it in the top 10% of 1,285 mutual funds investing in large-capitalization growth stocks. Puglia had also been nominated by Morningstar as one of five finalists for Domestic Fund Manager of the Year in 2013. The fund had been recognized as an IBD

In 2013, the new general manager at Dominion Granite and Marble (DGM), a successful Virginia granite-fabrication company, was convinced DGM would benefit from substantially speeding up its sales process. Getting quotes in the hands of potential customers quickly was the first step. In particular, a new website with online quotation capabilities would go a long way toward capitalizing on the traffic DGM's website already experienced and give the company a competitive edge. The only question was how quickly the website could be developed and at what price. Excerpt UVA-QA-0814 Feb. 11, 2014 SET IN STONE It was a new dawn for Dominion Granite and Marble (DGM). The Virginia granite-fabrication company had a vibrant new owner, an established client base, and a devoted group of employees. And with the addition of 27-year-old Elizabeth Tang, it had a new general manager excited about the company's challenges. These challenges merged her engineering background with the MBA education she was two months shy of completing at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia. Given all she had learned about the fabrication industry since she took over on January 1, 2013, Tang was convinced DGM would benefit from substantially speeding up its sales process. Getting quotes in the hands of potential customers quickly was the first step. In particular, a new website with online quotation capabilities would go a long way toward capitalizing on the traffic DGM's website already experienced. Such website capabilities would also offer the company a competitive edge. The only question was how quickly the website could be developed and at what price. Meanwhile, on the opposite coast, Arup Banerjee was also excited about his career trajectory. Like Tang, he was two months away from his MBA graduation from the Haas School of Business at the University of California. The build-up toward finishing his degree and being able to devote 100% of his time to growing his website-design firm was great. DGM was the perfect client. This project would allow his firm, CD SEO, to demonstrate capabilities associated with linking a firm's customer relationship management (CRM) and back-office systems to its website. This capability would open the door to working with other service providers. . . .
2013年,弗吉尼亚州一家成功的花岗岩制造公司Dominion Granite and Marble (DGM)的新任总经理确信,DGM将从大幅加快销售流程中获益。第一步是将报价迅速送到潜在客户手中。特别是,一个具有在线报价功能的新网站将大大有助于利用DGM网站已经经历的流量,并为公司提供竞争优势。唯一的问题是这个网站能以多快的速度开发出来,价格是多少。对于Dominion Granite and Marble (DGM)来说,这是一个新的黎明。这家位于弗吉尼亚州的花岗石制造公司有了一个充满活力的新老板、一个成熟的客户群和一群忠诚的员工。随着27岁的伊丽莎白·唐(Elizabeth Tang)的加入,新总经理对公司面临的挑战感到兴奋。这些挑战将她的工程背景与她在弗吉尼亚大学(University of Virginia)达顿商学院(Darden School of Business)的MBA教育结合在一起,她还差两个月就能完成学业。考虑到她自2013年1月1日接手以来对制造行业的了解,Tang确信DGM将从大幅加快销售流程中受益。第一步是将报价迅速送到潜在客户手中。特别是,一个具有在线报价功能的新网站将在很大程度上利用DGM网站已经经历的流量。这样的网站功能也将为该公司提供竞争优势。唯一的问题是这个网站能以多快的速度开发出来,价格是多少。与此同时,在对岸的海岸,Arup Banerjee也对自己的职业轨迹感到兴奋。和唐一样,他还有两个月就要从加州大学哈斯商学院MBA毕业了。完成他的学位,能够投入100%的时间来发展他的网站设计公司的积累是伟大的。DGM是一个完美的客户。这个项目将允许他的公司CD SEO展示将公司的客户关系管理(CRM)和后台系统链接到其网站的相关能力。此功能将打开与其他服务提供商合作的大门. . . .

This note describes a method for adjusting uncertain future cash flows into a present certain equivalent. The use of net present value (NPV) to adjust a stream of future known cash flows into a single-value equivalent adjusted for the time value of money is common practice. The use of simulation to produce a risk profile of NPV values is also now common. While the expected net present value (ENPV) is often used to convert a risk profile of uncertain NPVs into a single-value equivalent, this approach ignores risk and the decision maker's attitude toward risk. Simply put, a 50% probability of receiving an NPV of $1 million is not as attractive as a 100% chance of receiving an NPV of $500,000. The general logarithmic utility model (GLUM) constructs a single certain equivalent from a risk profile (i.e., a “risk-adjusted NPV”) which goes beyond ENPV to incorporate risk aversion into the decision-making criterion. The simplicity and many attractive properties of the GLUM prompt us to suggest it as more attractive than other ways to adjust an NPV risk profile for risk. Excerpt UVA-QA-0849 Rev. Nov. 26, 2018 A GLUM Primer: How to Account for Risk with Uncertain NPVs We use net present value (NPV) to convert a stream of future known cash flows into a single-value equivalent. The NPV tool uses a discount rate to correctly account for the time value of money. We often next use expected net present value (ENPV) to convert a risk profile of uncertain NPVs into a single-value equivalent. Although ENPV accounts for all possible NPVs and their relative likelihoods, it ignores risk and the decision-maker's attitude toward risk. Simply put, a 50% probability of receiving $ 1,000,000 is not as attractive as a 100% chance of receiving $ 500,000. This makes ENPV an incomplete decision-making criterion. The purpose of this note is to describe the general logarithmic utility model (GLUM), which constructs a single-value equivalent from a risk profile. The resulting single-value equivalent is called a “present certain equivalent,” or “risk-adjusted NPV,” which goes beyond ENPV to incorporate risk aversion into the decision-making criterion.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania were interested in whether exposure to light early in life might affect eye growth and lead to an increased risk of myopia (nearsightedness). Eyes grew rapidly after birth, but myopia usually did not develop until later in life and arose from excessive postnatal eye growth. They knew that the duration of daily light had been shown to increase eye growth in chicks and wondered whether the same might be true for humans. The results startled researchers and might explain the increase in myopia rates over the last two centuries. The B case gives the results of a follow-on study conducted by the Ohio State University. Excerpt UVA-QA-0842 Rev. Nov. 5, 2015 Night-Lights and Nearsightedness (A) Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania were interested in whether exposure to light early in life might affect eye growth and lead to an increased risk of myopia (nearsightedness). Eyes grew rapidly after birth, but myopia usually did not develop until later in life and arose from excessive postnatal eye growth. They knew that the duration of daily light had been shown to increase eye growth in chicks and wondered whether the same might be true for humans. In early 1998, the researchers asked parents of 479 children—from 2 to 16 years of age—who were outpatients in the university's ophthalmology clinic about their child's exposure to light before two years of age. The key question was: “Under which lighting conditions did your child sleep at night before the age of two?” The multiple-choice answers were: “room light,” “night-light,” and “darkness.” Because the children were all outpatients of the clinic, their current eyesight had already been evaluated, recorded, and summarized as either myopic or not myopic. The results startled the researchers. About half the children (232) slept with a night-light, and 34% of this group became myopic. The smallest group was composed of the 75 children who slept in room light; subsequently, 55% became myopic. The overall myopia rate for the group was a shade under 29%. The researchers wrote in the journal Nature, “The prevalence of myopia…during childhood was strongly associated with ambient light exposure during sleep at night in the first two years after birth.” . . .
