Case Study

Ahmad and his friend, A.G. Pennypacker, have come up with a great idea: they have
developed a fluor elastomer liner (a rubber lining) for oil tankers. With this
innovation, they believe they can eliminate most oil spills that result from tanker
accidents. The liner is highly resistant to fluctuations in temperature as well as
physical punctures.
Ahmad wants to set up a company, but is unsure of his options and has come to you
for advice for the type of business entity formation he should select. He has the
following concerns:
1. He does not want his other business concerns being held liable should there be
a lawsuit arising from use/sale of this product.
2. He wants an entity form that will minimize his tax liability.
Based on the entity forms detailed in Chapter 35, select one you feel satisfies his
concerns. Make sure to explain why it is the best for Ahmad and Pennypacker.

which provides members of a corporation with a layer of legal protection (Mancuso, 2021). This aspect is provided for in Wyoming’s Limited Liability Act. Under Article 17-29-304, Ahmad will not be personally liable for any contracts entered into by the LLC for the sale or use of the elastomer liner. Due to this, when a lawsuit is brought against the LLC, Ahmad’s other businesses will not incur any liability emanating from the lawsuit. In addition, Ahmad will be liable only to the extent of his capital contribution during the formation of the LLC. Despite this protection, the Article also outlines a couple of circumstances whose existence might prompt a court to attach personal liability to Ahmad for the LLC’s debts and obligations. These circumstances include; fraud, insufficient capitalization, failure to adhere to the LLC’s formalities established under the Statute, and intermingling of personal

in a 4 to 6 page, APA formatted written paper. It must be a strategy paper, meaning it must be about firms. However, there is a great deal of flexibility in the choice of topic.

 

Step 1

First, choose an industry, based on interest in the industry. Examples of industries range from advertising to zoos, and include digital watches, private jets, diapers, over-the-counter cold and flu formulas, photographic film, automobiles, airlines, football, romance novels, dating services, banana production, or pre-stressed concrete, computer printers, pagers, business schools, used cars sold over the web, movie theaters.

Step 2

Having chosen the industry, you will need a question or issue on which to focus. Such questions could be broad (What strategies are most likely to sustain profitability?) or narrow (Should firm X build a new plant? Where?). Good questions encourage you to think strategically, and thus should include the likely responses of rival firms to any hypothetical actions. Plan to include your question in the topic proposal. A different approach is to choose a story about the behavior of a firm from a newspaper or other source, and research this story. For example, the defense contractor Lockheed-Martin announced a friendly takeover of Northrop-Grumman, and then later dropped the plan after the Department of Justice filed an antitrust complaint. This story contains a dozen potential paper topics. How is the defense industry organized? Why did they want to merge? Why did the DOJ want to block the merger? Choose a topic in which you are interested rather than one that looks easy. Topics that look easy can be treacherous and unpleasant if they are boring.

Step 3

 

Develop your written response. An important aspect of business communication is the elimination of the extraneous. Supporting exhibits are not counted in the page total. Using a few well-chosen exhibits is a better strategy than many irrelevant exhibits. It is important to provide references for facts you rely on in the analysis. The paper’s focus should be on analysis, with industry description provided to support that analysis. A common mistake is too much description, too little analysis. Do not choose a situation from a case reading from this or another class. Do not revise a paper you wrote for another course as a project without discussing it with me — it would have to be a new paper to be approved. This project is intended for you to perform hands-on strategic analysis. If you were handed a project to analyze a strategic situation by the CEO of your company, what would you hand back?

 

IMPORTANT!

When you have collected a great deal of information and begun to rough out your topic, run through this list of tools and ensure that you analyzes the most relevant ones to your topic.

  • Five Forces
    • Entry barriers, rivalry usually, but not always, the most significant
  • Complements
  • Differentiation
    • Is one dimension enough?
  • Cooperation
  • Pricing
  • Market segmentation

The businesses aim to come up with a better marketing strategy that will favor both customers and them. Choosing the appropriate pricing strategy helps the business to maximize its profits as well as the shareholder value. While producing the products, the business incurs numerous costs, which include the cost of raw materials and labor, among others that need to be considered while making a pricing decision. They often set a price that is above the cost involved in producing a product. However, the price should consider other factors like market forces. According to Kotler & Keller (2016), companies need to consider an equilibrium point where the customers are willing to pay for the product and the cost of producing one unit of that product.

The current marketing strategy for Farfetch Limited is developing unique product designs that stand out in the competitors’ market. Its pricing strategy is based on credit terms, payment periods, and discounts, which has enabled many people to purchase goods from the company. Also, their prices are lower than their competitors, which increases their customers and profits (Jaworski, 2018). The company has many stalls almost in every state, making it accessible to customers worldwide. That has increased their market share as customers can access products at any time at a low price. Additionally, the company has been using television, radio, and print advertising methods to promote its products, including tradeshows and direct mail campaigns.

Sexual harassment

Answer preview

This issue relates to Module 3: Job Discrimination under sexual harassment. Jane’s story is not unique because, according to Johnson et al. (2018), approximately 35% of working women have experienced sexual-related harassment at least once over their careers. This number jumps to 45% for women working in technical fields that men majorly dominate. Additionally, about 55% of women in the senior management levels also experience some form of sexual harassment because men majorly surround them. Johnson et al. (2018) adds that according to the complaints received by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2018, about 16% of the total sexual harassment cases were from men. This means that even men also experience sexual harassment. Organizations need to develop strict policies and measures to prevent any form of sexual harassment in the workplace. The employees should also be made aware of what sexual harassment is and ways to avoid it. Decisive and swift actions should be taken on all sexual harassment reported cases after thorough investigations have been done.

Answer preview

Kotter (1996), in the Leading Change, indicated three major functions as necessary in step 6: (1) plan for performance improvements, (2) create improvements, and (3) recognize and reward the employees for those improvements. The short-term wins will be generated from the improvement of operational processes in the airline. The most significant intervention is to train the customer services staff on competitive customer relations to enhance customer satisfaction. The rewards for these wins will include congratulatory messages and bonuses for improved performances. The objective is to enhance the employee’s morale to attend to the unique needs of customer groups (Rafferty & Jimmieson, 2016). Customers service training can enhance and improve how the staff relates with customer groups, including the elderly, children, and other vulnerable groups. This is important to yield strong brand equity, eventually transitioning to competitive advantage. From a human resource perspective, morale and enthusiasm for the customers’ needs are key indicators of the potential for better performance. Moreover, it is a key measure of the employee’s long-term commitment to the company’s strategic initiatives.

Another right decision made by the company was adopting the concept of retailtainment. Under this concept, the company partnered with famous musicians and entertainment companies to showcase their creations and songs on the TV screens and radios within its stores (McNally, 2005). Due to this, customers were exposed to screens and radios playing songs that kept them entertained while shopping. According to McNally (2005), this decision was made to enhance customers’ shopping experience. This decision was the correct and ethical one since it improved the happiness and satisfaction of most customers. Furthermore, it also boosted the company’s sales revenue, considering the improved shopping experience offered by the company attracted many customers and forced them to spend more time and money in the store. Outsourcing is a common theme in the contemporary global corporate arena. According to McNally (2005), outsourcing generally denotes contracting some functions of an organization’s operations

Facebook has substantial brand equity. Equally, Instagram and WhatsApp are popular brands in different parts of the world. Mainly it has excellent brand awareness and generally a positive brand image. Conversely, there is a scandal regarding the treatment of private user data and the use of the platform for hate speech and spreading fake news (Logan, 2022, February 4). However, Facebook is the most popular social media brand. Friends can connect to the family by sharing photos and other items of interest. (Lynch, 2022).

Answer preview

Technically, healthcare organizations collect information about the health conditions affecting the patients, interventions applied to manage these conditions, and how the conditions respond to interventions applied. These are valuable information to the research organizations as they can utilize this information to come up with more effective medications, healthcare devices, or health practices to manage these conditions more effectively, thus improving the patients’ well-being or improving healthcare organizations’ efficiency. The healthcare organization can generate income from the patient data by providing it to the third parties who derive insights from data later utilized to improve products, internal processes, and services, known as indirect monetization (Roberts & Edelmann, 2022). The patient data stored by the healthcare organizations have economic value to the organizations themselves and third parties.
