Research methodologyThis study aims to investigate the factors that contribute to the overall tour experience and services provided by Top Tier Holidays. The study is mixed in nature, and the researchers have used analytical tools to analyse the data factually. Multiple regression using MS Excel is used in the study.Case overview/synopsisThis case is based on the experiences of a real-life travel and tour company located in New Delhi, India. The case helps understand regression analysis to identify independent variables significantly impacting the tour experience. The CEO of the company is focused on improving the overall customer experience. The CEO has identified six principal determinants (variables) applicable to tour companies’ success. These variables are hotel experience, transportation, cab driver, on-tour support, itinerary planning and pricing.Multiple regression analysis using Microsoft Excel is conducted on the above determinants (the independent variables) and the overall tour experience (the dependent variable). This analysis would help identify the relationship between the independent and dependent variables and find the variables that significantly impact the dependent variable. This case also helps us appreciate the importance of various parameters that affect the overall customer tour experience and the challenges a tour operator company faces in the current competitive business environment.Complexity academic levelThis case is designed for discussion with the undergraduate courses in business management, commerce and tourism management programmes. The case will build up readers’ understanding of linear regression with multiple variables. It shows how multiple linear regression can help companies identify the significant variables affecting business outcomes.

Q4 Business, Management and Accounting Pub Date : 2023-01-27 DOI: 10.1108/tcj-05-2022-0089
Emily Grace Hammer, Joanna Kimbell
Research methodologyThis case was developed from both secondary and primary sources. The secondary sources include journal and newspaper articles. Primary sources include court proceedings, industry reports and EEOC recommendations regarding disparate impact for major retailers. This case has been classroom tested with undergraduate BBA students in an introductory undergraduate Human Resources course.Case overview/synopsisIn August 2019, Ms Ramos applied for an entry-level position at Stockworld; however, despite receiving an initial offer, Ms Ramos was notified soon after beginning the position that her job offer was being rescinded as a result of a completed background check. The Fair Chances Act for employment has challenged employers to “Ban the Box” that asks about criminal past acts before conditional employment offers. With increased demand for qualified applicants following and amid current labor shortages, proponents of “Ban the Box” challenge that including background checks before and even following conditional offers lead to disparate impact with Title VII protected classifications of employees. Can employers Ban the Box to prevent Disparate Impact for entry-level positions? What are the implications for eliminating criminal background checks?Complexity academic levelThis case was written for use in an undergraduate introductory human resource management course or general business law course. The focus of the case supports classroom discussion for online and face-to-face instruction regarding equal employment opportunity and employment decisions. The case also has strong application in course content regarding discrimination and strategic plans for organizational success. Educators who use critical thinking methods to apply hiring strategies or talent pipeline assessment can use this case to explore additional avenues for external recruitment and talent development.
研究方法:本案例来源于二手和一手资料。二手资料来源包括期刊和报纸文章。主要来源包括法院诉讼、行业报告和平等就业机会委员会关于主要零售商差别影响的建议。本案例已在本科人力资源入门课程的BBA本科生中进行了课堂测试。2019年8月,Ramos女士申请了Stockworld的一个入门级职位;然而,尽管拉莫斯收到了最初的工作邀请,但她在开始工作后不久就被告知,由于完成了背景调查,她的工作邀请将被取消。《就业公平机会法》要求雇主在提供有条件的工作之前“禁止询问犯罪前科的盒子”。在当前劳动力短缺的情况下,随着对合格申请人的需求增加,“禁止盒子”的支持者挑战说,在有条件的录用之前甚至之后进行背景调查,会对第七条保护的员工分类产生不同的影响。雇主能否禁止“盒子”来防止对入门级职位的差异化影响?取消犯罪背景调查意味着什么?本案例是为本科人力资源管理入门课程或普通商法课程编写的。案例的重点是支持关于平等就业机会和就业决策的在线和面对面教学的课堂讨论。该案例在有关歧视和组织成功战略计划的课程内容中也有很强的应用性。使用批判性思维方法来应用招聘策略或人才管道评估的教育工作者可以利用这个案例来探索外部招聘和人才发展的其他途径。

Joe S. Anderson, Susan K. Williams
Research methodologyThis compact case is based on secondary, published information about the Kiva organization, both in book and article format, listed in the reference list at the end of this teaching note. In addition, the authors accessed the Kiva website using the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. This allowed to view Kiva’s webpages when they were a startup organization.Case overview/synopsisKiva’s co-founder, Jessica Jackley, is offered $10m by the corporate social responsibility director of a large technology firm. Students discuss why Jessica hesitates to accept the $10m and explore the meaningful application of a nonprofit’s mission statement and the concepts of mission creep and mission drift. The case can be read in class for immediate discussion or assigned outside of class. Ultimately, the students decide and defend whether Jessica should accept the $10m on behalf of Kiva. In the strategic management sections, students were split 35% accept and 65% do not accept which produced a rich discussion.Complexity academic levelThis compact case has been used in several sections of the capstone strategic management course composed of senior, undergraduate and business majors. This case is used early in the course as an application of the mission and values chapter. This case could also be used in management courses in entrepreneurship, nonprofit organizations and principles.
研究方法本紧凑案例基于本教学笔记末尾参考文献列表中列出的关于Kiva组织的二手出版信息,包括书籍和文章格式。此外,作者使用互联网档案折返机访问了Kiva网站。这允许查看Kiva的网页,当他们还是一个创业组织的时候。案例概述/概要Kiva的联合创始人Jessica Jackley被一家大型科技公司的企业社会责任总监出价1000万美元。学生们讨论了Jessica为什么不愿接受1000万美元,并探讨了非营利组织的使命宣言以及使命蠕变和使命漂移的概念的有意义的应用。案例可以在课堂上阅读,以便立即讨论,也可以在课外分配。最终,学生们决定并为Jessica是否应该代表Kiva接受1000万美元辩护。在战略管理部分,学生分为35%接受和65%不接受,这产生了丰富的讨论。复杂的学术水平这个紧凑的案例已经被用于由高年级、本科生和商科专业组成的顶点战略管理课程的几个部分。这个案例在课程的早期被用作使命和价值观章节的应用。这个案例也可以用于创业、非营利组织和原则的管理课程。

Sustainable wine tourism as a diversification strategy: a different approach in a rural cooperative 可持续葡萄酒旅游作为一种多样化战略:农村合作社的不同做法

Research methodologyStrategic management is the focus area in this case study, so it is important to consider different sources of information to make strategic decisions. Considering the different options of Wine Cooperative of Vidigueira Cuba & Alvito (ACVCA), it is necessary to know the strengths and weaknesses of each option and identify respective opportunities and threats. Additionally, it is important to know the case study object (such as operating specific characteristics, products and management model); the competition; the evolution of the wine sector in Portugal and worldwide; the evolution of the tourism sector in Portugal and worldwide; and new trends in wine and tourism.Case overview/synopsisIn January 2018, Mr Jose, leader of the Board of Directors (BD) of the ACVCA, one of Portugal’s oldest wine cooperatives, located in the south of the country, in the Alentejo region, is preparing the first meeting with the newly elected BD. Addressing the strategy and sustainability for the next term of the BD is mandatory! Mr Jose will have to open the game and lift the veil. Should all their eggs be put in one basket? Or could diversification be the way? Sustainability, in its three pillars (economic, environmental and social), is mandatory, never forgetting that the cooperators want respective income guaranteed. “We can’t risk everything”, thinks Mr Jose! But ACVCA’s affirmation undoubtedly depends on its ability to take risks, to innovate and seek new answers for new audiences! The BD will have to make decisions that lead not only to the affirmation of the brand but also to its renown and to the ACVCA’s sustainable growth. There are several possible options. However, it is necessary to define a path that guarantees the stability achieved, but that allows new markets to be reached and new challenges embraced: increase production capacity, invest in internationalisation, focus on segmentation through innovation, diversification of product or diversification of business area. Wine tourism is a possible way, but how can it be done sustainably and differently? We will have to use creativity and take advantage of our strengths, traditions and customs, intangible and tangible capital and our material and immaterial heritage. It can be done through Amphora wine, produced from its exclusive centuries-old grape varieties. These issues will have to be discussed with all the BD members in the next meeting. Considering the crucial role of cooperatives in the development of the regions where they are located, the success of the strategy is extremely important not only for ACVCA, but also for all its stakeholders. Strategic management decisions in a cooperative always have a double objective: on the one hand, to satisfy the interests of the cooperators and, at the same time, to meet the interests of the market and assert its positioning in an increasingly competitive sector.Complexity academic levelThis case study is intended for:▪ undergraduate
研究方法战略管理是本案例研究的重点领域,因此考虑不同的信息来源来做出战略决策是很重要的。考虑到Vidigueira Cuba & Alvito葡萄酒合作社(ACVCA)的不同选择,有必要了解每种选择的优势和劣势,并确定各自的机会和威胁。此外,了解案例研究对象(如经营具体特点、产品和管理模式)也很重要;竞争;葡萄牙和全球葡萄酒行业的发展;葡萄牙和世界各地旅游业的发展;葡萄酒和旅游业的新趋势。2018年1月,ACVCA(葡萄牙最古老的葡萄酒合作社之一,位于该国南部的阿连特茹地区)董事会(BD)主席Jose先生正在准备与新当选的董事会(BD)的第一次会议。讨论下一届董事会的战略和可持续性是强制性的!何塞将不得不揭开比赛的序幕,揭开面纱。应该把所有的鸡蛋放在一个篮子里吗?还是多元化才是解决之道?可持续性在其三大支柱(经济、环境和社会)中是强制性的,永远不要忘记合作者希望各自的收入得到保障。“我们不能拿一切去冒险”,何塞先生认为!但ACVCA的肯定无疑取决于其勇于冒险、勇于创新、为新受众寻求新答案的能力!BD必须做出决定,不仅要使品牌得到肯定,还要使其名声和ACVCA的可持续发展。有几种可能的选择。然而,有必要确定一条保证实现稳定性的道路,但也允许进入新市场并迎接新挑战:增加产能,投资国际化,通过创新专注于细分,产品多样化或业务领域多样化。葡萄酒旅游是一种可能的方式,但如何才能做到可持续和与众不同?我们必须发挥创造力,利用我们的优势、传统和习俗、无形和有形资本以及我们的物质和非物质遗产。这可以通过安弗拉葡萄酒来实现,这种葡萄酒由其独有的百年历史的葡萄品种酿造而成。这些问题必须在下次会议上与所有屋宇署成员讨论。考虑到合作社在其所在区域的发展中所起的关键作用,该战略的成功不仅对农协,而且对其所有利益攸关方都极为重要。合作社的战略管理决策总是有双重目标:一方面要满足合作社的利益,同时也要满足市场的利益,在竞争日益激烈的行业中维护自己的定位。本案例主要适用于:管理、农业经济和旅游专业的本科生、行政管理专业的学生、战略、市场营销、旅游和农业经济专业的硕士生;▪社会经济和旅游专业博士生。这种情况可能有不同程度的难度,这取决于学生的科学领域,以及学习周期是否更先进。解决这种情况可能需要下列先决条件:-基本的统计知识;-中等水平的管理会计、经济和金融知识;具备良好的战略管理和合作主义理论知识。

Theoretical basisThis study aims to build on the human capital development theory that focuses on the education and development of individuals considering their spillover impact on the organization’s and community’s improvement. Through examining the efforts put in by the Ministry toward developing its nationals to convert its economy into that of a knowledge-based one, this case shows a practical application of the human capital development theory.Research methodologyTo attain a more comprehensive understanding of how the Ministry underwent the implementation of educational and employment reforms, this study carried out a mixed methods study that pertained conducting interviews and collection of secondary data such as reports, minutes of meetings and publicly available date. First, four top management and executives were interviewed from the Ministry to gain deeper understanding on the planning of educational and employment reforms being implemented by the Ministry, its implementation and the challenges that the Ministry faced in doing so. Additionally, top management and executives from higher educational institutes in Qatar were also interviewed to attain a more comprehensive understanding of how they worked with the Ministry to implement the educational and employment reforms. The interview participants held key positions within the Ministry and education institutes in Qatar. As a result, they were directly involved in driving strategic decision-making in various areas relating to education at all levels (primary, secondary and tertiary). Further, they were directly involved in the establishment of Qatarization initiatives in the education sector within Qatar. Below is a list of the interviewees:1. Mr Ahmed, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (formerly Qatar University President and Community College of Qatar President);2. Mr Saad, Higher Education Consultant at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (formerly the Dean of Community College of Qatar);3. Mr Ali, Assistant Undersecretary of Shared Services Affairs, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education;4. Mr Abdulla, Acting Assistant Undersecretary for Higher Education, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education;5. Mr Jassim, Vice President of Academic & Student Affairs at Community College of Qatar;6. Mr Bilal, Vice President of Academic & Student Affairs at College of the North Atlantic-Qatar;7. Mr Mohammed, Chief Strategy and Development Officer at Qatar University; and8. Mr Yasin, General Manager of Qatar Learning Center.Each participant was first contacted to inform them about the nature of the study and to gain their consent to conduct an interview. The interview protocol contained closed- to open-ended questions, aimed at providing in-depth information on Qatarization practices and the efforts to reform the education sector in Qatar. As a result, a semi-structured interview was conducted. The participants were posed with se
本研究以人力资本发展理论为基础,关注个人的教育和发展,并考虑其对组织和社区改善的溢出效应。通过考察劳动部为将国民经济转变为知识型经济所做的努力,可以看出人力资本开发理论的实际应用。研究方法为了更全面地了解教育部是如何实施教育和就业改革的,本研究采用了一种混合方法研究,涉及进行访谈和收集次要数据,如报告、会议记录和公开可用的日期。首先,对教育部的四名高级管理人员和行政人员进行了访谈,以便更深入地了解教育部正在实施的教育和就业改革的规划、实施情况以及该部在实施改革过程中面临的挑战。此外,还采访了卡塔尔高等教育机构的高级管理人员和行政人员,以更全面地了解他们如何与教育部合作实施教育和就业改革。受访者在卡塔尔教育部和教育机构担任要职。因此,他们直接参与推动与各级教育(小学、中学和大学)有关的各个领域的战略决策。此外,他们还直接参与在卡塔尔教育部门制定卡塔尔化倡议。以下是受访者名单:1 .教育与高等教育部副部长Ahmed先生(原卡塔尔大学校长、卡塔尔社区学院校长);2 .教育和高等教育部高等教育顾问(原卡塔尔社区学院院长)Saad先生;3 .教育和高等教育部共享服务事务部副部长助理阿里先生;4 . Abdulla先生,高等教育部高等教育代理助理副部长;5 .卡塔尔社区学院学术与学生事务副院长贾西姆先生;6 .北大西洋学院卡塔尔分校学术与学生事务副校长Bilal先生;卡塔尔大学首席战略与发展官Mohammed先生;and8。卡塔尔学习中心总经理亚辛先生。首先与每位参与者联系,告知他们研究的性质,并征得他们同意进行访谈。面谈程序载有不公开或不公开的问题,目的是提供关于卡塔尔化做法和卡塔尔教育部门改革努力的深入资料。因此,进行了半结构化访谈。参与者被提出了几个问题,包括但不限于这些。例如,参与者被问及诸如教育和高等教育部正在采取哪些措施来改善卡塔尔的教育体系?教育和高等教育部目前实施的卡塔尔化做法是什么?在获得这些问题的答案后,采访者可以继续提出更具体和相关的问题,如教育部如何吸引卡塔尔人参加科学、技术、工程和数学课程?那么,卡塔尔采用了什么方法来吸引卡塔尔人接受高等教育呢?卡塔尔人可以获得哪些不同类型的奖学金?教育和高等教育部实施了哪些计划来培训/雇用年轻的卡塔尔人,使他们有资格在教育部门工作?采访时间约为30-45分钟。除采访外,还使用了计划和统计局、世界银行和教育和高等教育部的一些二手资料来源。案例概述/概要人力资本发展被认为是导致一个社会的可持续经济、政治和社会进步的基本支柱。鉴于人力资本发展的基础是建立在教育能力的基础上,卡塔尔将教育视为其国家和最重要的优先事项,从长远来看,教育是最大限度地发挥人的潜力,建设可持续的知识型经济的关键。本案例研究描述了卡塔尔国教育和高等教育部的工作。该部的任务是支持政府将卡塔尔经济从资源型经济转变为知识型经济的国家战略。因此,这一案例揭示了该部在发展当地人力资本方面的战略举措。 教育部管理教育部门,通过提供教育部的观点,读者能够掌握政府实体的内部运作。除了概述教育部为提高卡塔尔人的教育质量而采取的战略举措外,本案例研究还审查了教育部采取的卡塔尔化举措。卡塔尔化是卡塔尔实施的一项国家战略,旨在将劳动力国有化。换句话说,通过卡塔尔化,政府打算增加卡塔尔人的就业机会,并通过培训和发展努力提高他们的专业技能。因此,这个案例也说明了该部在使其工作人员成功地卡塔尔化方面的作用。通过了解教育部在加强教育服务和为国民提供就业机会方面所面临的挑战,学生可以对政府实体在实施战略举措时面临的现实挑战有一个精确的看法。通过这个案例,与商业、战略、经济、公共政策和教育相关的研究生和本科生也可以尝试参与决策活动,通过制定行动计划或修改战略举措来克服该部面临的挑战。案例中讨论的问题深入探讨了卡塔尔政府通过教育改革实现经济转型的举措如何影响教育机构、学生和劳动力。本案例旨在供商科、战略、经济学、公共政策和教育等相关专业的研究生和本科生学习,使他们能够参与现实的决策活动,通过制定行动计划或修改战略举措来克服教育部面临的挑战。

Research methodologyOne of the major reasons of layout-related difficulties faced by manufacturing industries is non-value-adding and redundant work. Plant layout study aims at economic production with larger volumes and variety as well. Method studies focus on the effectiveness with efficiency by a systematic critical scrutiny of work being done. The intention is to identify logical sequence of activities highlighting and eliminating the unnecessary mudas. Time and motion study is a combination of time study and motion study analysing and eliminating any unnecessary movement for productivity optimization of that job or process. Thus, through the elimination of unnecessary motions, times for performing the processes may be reduced and productivity increased. The intention is to subdivide the different operations of a job or process into measurable elements. Hence this case has been developed based on the primary data. The primary data was collected using Industrial Engineering Studies like layout study, method study and time and motion study. This case has been classroom tested with MBA students in their Lean Management Course.Case overview/synopsisArin Synthetics Ltd. (ASL) though had installed modern machinery in its facility, process efficiency and optimization were a concern. Top Brass at ASL believed that ASL was overstaffed and its processes had creep as far as efficiency is concerned. This case focuses on ways to improve the process efficiency to rationalize the manpower at ASL. Presence in large growing global markets put cost pressure on ASL, thus mandating improvement in the efficiency of its processes through manpower rationalization. This case, therefore, discusses one of the highly staffed process of waste collection. Could ASL achieve reduction in the manpower in waste reduction without affecting the overall process? Was there a strategic mistake in the thought process of disposing of the waste generated by the manufacturing complex?Complexity academic levelOperations management, Productivity and performance, Quality management, Lean management.
研究方法论制造业面临布局相关困难的主要原因之一是无附加值和冗余工作。工厂布局研究的目的是经济生产,更大的数量和品种。方法研究通过对正在进行的工作进行系统的批判性审查,重点关注有效性和效率。其目的是确定活动的逻辑顺序,突出并消除不必要的混乱。时间和运动研究是时间研究和运动研究的结合,分析和消除任何不必要的运动,以优化工作或过程的生产力。因此,通过消除不必要的运动,可以减少执行过程的时间并提高生产率。其目的是将工作或过程的不同操作细分为可测量的元素。因此,本案例是根据原始数据开发的。主要数据是通过工业工程研究收集的,如布局研究、方法研究以及时间和运动研究。这个案例已经在MBA学生的精益管理课程中进行了课堂测试。案例概述/概要Rin Synthetics有限公司(ASL)虽然在其设施中安装了现代机械,但流程效率和优化是一个令人担忧的问题。ASL的高级Brass认为ASL人员过多,就效率而言,其流程缓慢。本案例的重点是如何提高流程效率,使ASL的人力资源合理化。在不断增长的大型全球市场中的存在给ASL带来了成本压力,从而要求通过人力合理化来提高其流程的效率。因此,本案例讨论了一个人员密集的废物收集过程。ASL能否在不影响整个流程的情况下减少废物减少方面的人力?在处理制造业产生的废物的思维过程中是否存在战略错误?复杂的学术水平运营管理,生产力和绩效,质量管理,精益管理。

Dozee: crafting opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic [1] 十二:在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间创造机会
Q4 Business, Management and Accounting Pub Date : 2022-11-10 DOI: 10.1108/tcj-02-2022-0028
Anita Kerai, Nycil George
Research methodologyThis case was developed from secondary sources. The secondary sources included company websites, social media and news reports. This case has been classroom tested in multiple executive master of business administration (MBA) courses on business model innovation and entrepreneurship.Case overview/synopsisThe case traces the entrepreneurial journey of Dozee, a remote patient monitoring system in India. Dozee was manufactured by Turtle Shell Technologies Private Limited, cofounded by Mudit and Gaurav. The primary customers of Dozee’s offering were households with elderly citizens and health-conscious individuals who sought preventive health care. The cofounders identified the unmet need for a convenient and user-friendly contactless health tracker. Dozee team built a thin sensor-embedded sheet and module that can be placed beneath the mattress to track sleep patterns and health vitals. They also provided data analysis and data interpretation services. After four years of conceptualization, Dozee launched its product and service in 2019. Although the initial response was lukewarm, the onset of the COVID-19 crisis led to significant changes in the health-care industry. Demand for virtual assistance and contactless monitoring devices became increasingly important elements of COVID-19 treatment. Unlike other sensor-based fitness trackers, the sheet could be easily placed under the patient’s bed to capture health vitals. Choosing to pivot from a home-based individual customer segment to a medical-grade device provider for hospitals could significantly increase the scale and scope of the offering for Dozee, but it would also place Dozee in direct competition with other health monitoring devices from different business categories.Complexity academic levelThis case is appropriate for MBA and executive-level courses related to entrepreneurship and business model innovation. The case explores issues such as digital disruption and how start-ups can design a go-to-market strategy. The case works well in the classroom, even if people are unfamiliar with the health-care industry. Participants can certainly relate to the concept of adopting artificial intelligence–enabled devices for monitoring their health. The instructor should be able to quickly engage participants in a lively discussion about Dozee’s vision and the opportunities and challenges in adopting digital solutions in health care.
研究方法:本病例来源于二手资料。二手信息来源包括公司网站、社交媒体和新闻报道。本案例已在多个工商管理硕士(MBA)商业模式创新与创业课程中进行了课堂测试。案例概述/摘要本案例追溯了印度远程患者监测系统Dozee的创业历程。Dozee是由Mudit和Gaurav共同创立的Turtle Shell Technologies Private Limited制造的。Dozee提供服务的主要客户是有老年人的家庭和寻求预防性保健的有健康意识的个人。联合创始人发现了一种方便且用户友好的非接触式健康追踪器的未满足需求。Dozee团队制造了一个嵌入传感器的薄薄片和模块,可以放置在床垫下面,以跟踪睡眠模式和健康指标。他们还提供数据分析和数据解释服务。经过四年的概念化,Dozee于2019年推出了其产品和服务。尽管最初的反应不温不火,但COVID-19危机的爆发导致医疗保健行业发生了重大变化。对虚拟援助和非接触式监测设备的需求日益成为COVID-19治疗的重要因素。与其他基于传感器的健身追踪器不同,这种床单可以很容易地放在病人的床下,以捕捉重要的健康数据。选择从以家庭为基础的个人客户细分市场转向医院的医疗级设备提供商,可以显著增加Dozee的产品规模和范围,但这也将使Dozee与来自不同业务类别的其他健康监测设备直接竞争。本案例适用于与创业和商业模式创新相关的MBA和高管级课程。该案例探讨了数字颠覆以及初创企业如何设计进入市场战略等问题。这个案例在课堂上很有效,即使人们不熟悉医疗保健行业。与会者肯定会对采用人工智能设备监测其健康状况的概念产生共鸣。讲师应该能够迅速吸引参与者参与关于Dozee的愿景以及在医疗保健中采用数字解决方案的机遇和挑战的热烈讨论。

Research methodologyThis case was a real-life situation faced by the author. Names were changed, so students would not know that the author was the protagonist. The case had been developed over several years as a capstone to the capital budgeting section of an MBA finance course and an advanced undergraduate course.Case overview/synopsisTrey and Lauren Gallo were considering the purchase of a vacation condo that also generated rental income. The current owners were willing to sell at a lowball offer of $605,000 as the pandemic entered its 13th month. The Gallos felt they needed to act fast to get this deal. However, the risks were extraordinary, as the pandemic had reduced rental income by 50% and borders had just recently closed. The case provides all data needed to compute rental revenues, capital expenditure, operational expenditures and financing costs. Students are expected to compute the NPV and IRR of free cashflows. Students will compute and evaluate the cost of capital using the condo’s projected debt structure, a choice of several proxy betas and a project risk premium. The case also uses extensive sensitivity analysis. This case differs from corporate capital budgeting problems because it evaluates both levered and unlevered cashflows, and the cashflows include savings from personal use. The case has been successfully used in MBA finance courses and advanced undergraduate finance courses. The case can be used as a capstone case for capital budgeting or a comprehensive exam in undergraduate, MBA and executive programs. The case questions can also be spread throughout a course to cover the topics of financial statement forecasting, free cash flows, capital budgeting, cost of capital and sensitivity analysis.Complexity academic levelEarlier versions of this case have been used in an advanced undergraduate corporate finance course and MBA finance courses. The case is generally used as a capstone to the material on capital budgeting. Students should have already covered material on financial statements, loan cashflows, levered and unlevered cashflows, CAPM, proxy betas, weighted average cost of capital, NPV and IRR. This case is also appropriate for courses in real estate finance and personal finance.
研究方法论这个案例是作者面对的现实情况。名字被改了,所以学生们不会知道作者是主角。该案例经过几年的发展,成为MBA金融课程和高级本科生课程资本预算部分的顶点。案例概述/概要Trey和Lauren Gallo正在考虑购买一套度假公寓,该公寓也产生了租金收入。随着疫情进入第13个月,目前的业主愿意以60.5万美元的低价出售。加洛斯夫妇觉得他们需要迅速行动才能达成这笔交易。然而,风险非同寻常,因为疫情使租金收入减少了50%,边境最近刚刚关闭。该案例提供了计算租金收入、资本支出、运营支出和融资成本所需的所有数据。学生需要计算自由现金流的净现值和内部收益率。学生将使用公寓的预计债务结构、几个代理贝塔和项目风险溢价来计算和评估资本成本。该案例还使用了广泛的敏感性分析。这种情况与公司资本预算问题不同,因为它评估了有杠杆和无杠杆的现金流,现金流包括个人使用的储蓄。该案例已成功应用于MBA金融学课程和高级本科生金融学课程。该案例可以作为资本预算的顶点案例,也可以作为本科生、MBA和高管课程的综合考试。案例问题也可以贯穿整个课程,涵盖财务报表预测、自由现金流、资本预算、资本成本和敏感性分析等主题。复杂性学术水平这个案例的早期版本已经用于高级本科生的企业金融课程和MBA金融课程。该案例通常被用作资本预算材料的顶点。学生应该已经涵盖了财务报表、贷款现金流、有杠杆和无杠杆现金流、CAPM、代理贝塔、加权平均资本成本、NPV和IRR等材料。这种情况也适用于房地产金融和个人理财课程。
