Case Study (2)

Case Study---The Cash Flow Gap(资金缺口/现金流量差额) Steve and Sue Quick own Quick Computers, a small computer company in Atlanta. The company builds and installs office computer systems and employs two people.

Background

When a customer places an order, Steve charges 10 percent of the total sales price as down payment(分期付款的首付). The customer is then billed for the balance after the system has been installed. The total sales price of a small office computer network is $10,000. The components are priced at $4,000 and come from one supplier. This supplier offers a 2 percent discount if Steve pays for the supplies no later than 10 days after receiving them. Steve always takes advantage of early settlement discounts(先期付款折扣).

The problem

On day 1 Steve receives the $1,000 down payment and orders the parts. He pays for these on day 7($4,000 less 2 percent early settlement discount=$3,920).

The system is ready for installation by day 28 and Steve calculates direct labor costs of $2,700. On day 35, the system is installed, with further labor costs of $300. The customer is then billed and given credit terms of 30 days. Finally, on day 65, Steve receives the outstanding balance(未结清帐款/欠款) of $9,000.

The cash flow gap opens on day 7 when Steve pays for the supplies; it widen to $ A by day 35. This means he has to finance from bank, and possibly pay interest on $ A for 3o days until the customer pays the final $9,000.

Questions:

1.How much is the cash flow gap by day 35? (How much is A?)

2.If the interest rate of 30 days in all is 1 percent, how much does Quick Computers earn in this transaction after taking out all costs?

3920-1000=2920

2920+2700+300=5920

5920*1%=59.2

9000-(5920+59.2)=3020.8

个案研究法(Case Study)

个案研究法（Case Study） 陈姿伶 中兴大学农业推广教育研究所 早在1870年，美国哈佛大学法学院即创用此一个案研究法来训练学生思考法律的原理原则。依叶重新（2001）的考证，此法最初多用于医学方面，应用于研究病人的案例；尔后，陆续地于心理学、社会学及工商管理学等领域相继被沿用，至今于教育界的运用也相当广泛，大都采此法于教学与相关的学习研究上，或者应用于教育心理与儿童心理等领域，特别对于超常儿童、特殊才能儿童、学习落后或低度缺陷儿童等类型学习者的心理研究。 而在这当中几位举足轻重的关键学者，如实验心理学家菲吉纳于1860年创立新物法，针对个别对象，进行有系统的感官研究，建立著名的Fecher’s Law。之后，弗洛伊德及皮亚杰等，于其所涉及的相关研究中皆不难发现「个案研究法」被运用的例证。以弗洛伊德为例，可被视为是运用个案研究法于精神病学的先驱，就其处理精神神经症的病人方面言之，则是致力于发现所谓的「一致的经验模式」。在其细心的探求下，使得病人能够回忆自己在儿童及年轻时代所发生的，但却已遗忘良久的，有关创伤性的或与性有关的意外事件，根据弗洛伊德的假设：这些意外事件或可用来解释病人的神经性行为，以所曾研究之Sergei Petrov 的—位狼人（the Wolf Man）的生活史来说，其最后并以「来自婴幼期神经症的生活史」（From the History of an Infantile Neurosis）为标题，将研究结果撰写成书并于1918年出版问世，此书则是弗洛伊德应用个案研究的典型例举之一，且其所归结获致之个案的结果，事实上与其假设一致吻合，这亦使得心理的个案分析因此一时蔚为时尚，且被认定视为一项有效的处理事情的方法。 总言之，个案的运用与分析，在法律和医学知识的传授上，早就成为最基本的教学工具之一。法律的名词称个案为「案例」或「判例」，医学的名词则称其为「病例」。至于个案分析在社会学上的发展沿革，则可依年代顺序归纳如下：（1）1908年，哈佛大学创设企业管理研究所，由经济学家Edwin F, Gay担任首任院长，他认为企管教学，应仿效哈佛法学院的教学方法，Gay称作「问题方法」（problem method），自此哈佛大学设置个案发展单位。 （2）在1920年代早期，Wallace B. Donam出任哈佛企管研究所主任。他到职后，敦促所属教授，从企业活动中直接搜集资料，拟订新的教材，鼓励教授搜 集有关市场交易，工商财务及其他方面的个案，并从事工商业的实验工作。 他亦吸收不受传统研究方法所约束的学者来一起从事研究。 （3）Elton Mayo，其中一位参与者。领导了「霍桑实验」（Hawthorn Studies）。在社会学方面，「实地研究」这个观念，从研究人类行为的个案已收到了效果。（4）第二次世界大战中后期，哈佛教授搜集了许多其他的个案，设立了一个委员会，用以促进个案研究之教学。该委员会于1937年致力介绍「个案报告」

Chapter 5 Verbal and Non-verbal Communication Case 1 Two strangers have been chatting. A: So you’re been here for a year? B: Yes. One more year to go, then I’ll go back to china. A: What will you do back home? B: It’s hard to know. There’s a lot change at the moment. A: Yeah.Everything’s changing, everythere. Sometimes it’s difficult to keep up. B: That’s true. Maybe I’ll… (A’s mobile phone rings.) A: Excuse me, I’d better answer this. It’s probably work. B: Sure. Take your time. 分析：有时在与人交谈中，难免要有什么原因要离开一会儿，或是去接一个电话，或要去洗手间。礼貌再此被提出来。出于礼貌起见，要记住做一些恰当解释再离开。不管理由是什么，即便是要接一个手机电话，在打开电话回话前，向对方说声对不起。 如果只离开几分钟，没有必要找一个理由。你说了对不起，就表明你确实是有事要离开一会儿。 Case 2 One cold winter day in a Chinese city, Wang Lin on his way to the library met an American pro fessor who knew very little about China. After greeting him, Wang said: “It’s rather cold. You’d better put on more clothes.” But the professor didn’t appear happy on hearing this. 分析：美国人以及大部分西方国家的人们不喜欢被告知要怎么做怎么做，他们比较喜欢独立，然而中国人则习惯关心别人，这个案例中王林的建议表达的就是一种对他人的关心，可是美国教授却不习惯这样的表达。 Case 3 Li Ping is calling his colleague and friend Tony.

case study (unit 1-4)

Case Study Case 1 In this case, there seemed to be problems in communicating with people of different cultures in spite of the efforts made to achieve understanding. We should know that in Egypt as in many cultures, the human relationship is valued so highly that it is not expressed in an objective and impersonal way. While Americans certainly value human relationships, they are more likely to speak of them in less personal, more objective terms. In this case, Richard?s mistake might be that he chose to p raise the food itself rather than the total evening, for which the food was simply the setting or excuse. For his host and hostess it was as if he had attended an art exhibit and complimented the artist by saying, “What beautiful frames your pictures are i n.” In Japan the situation may be more complicated. Japanese people value order and harmony among persons in a group, and that the organization itself－be it a family or a vast corporation－is more valued than the characteristics of any particular member. In contrast, Americans stress individuality as a value and are apt to assert individual differences when they seem justifiably in conflict with the goal s or values of the group. In this case: Richard?s mistake was in making great efforts to defend himself. Let the others assume that the errors were not intentional, but it is not right to defend yourself, even when your unstated intent is to assist the group by warning others of similar mistakes. A simple apology and acceptance of the blame would have been appropriate. But for poor Richard to have merely apologized would have seemed to him to be subservient, unmanly. When it comes to England, we expect fewer problems between Americans and Englishmen than between Americans and almost any other group. In this case we might look beyond the gesture of taking sugar or cream to the values expressed in this gesture: for Americans, “Help yourself”; for the English counterpart, “Be my guest.” American and English people equally enjoy entertaining and being entertained but they differ somewhat in the value of the distinction. Typically, the ideal guest at an American party is one who “makes himself at home,” even to t he point of answering the door or fixing his own drink. For persons in many other societies, including at least this hypothetical English host, such guest behavior is presumptuous or rude. Case 2 A common cultural misunderstanding in classes involves conflicts between what is said to be direct communication style and indirect communication style. In American culture, people tend to say what is on their minds and to mean what they say. Therefore, students in class are expected to ask questions when they need clarification. Mexican culture shares this preference of style with American culture in some situations, and that?s why the students from Mexico readily adopted the techniques of asking questions in class. However, Korean people generally prefer indirect communication style, and therefore they tend to not say what is on their minds and to rely more on implications and inference, so as to be polite and respectful and avoid losing face through any improper verbal behavior. As is mentioned in the case, to many Koreans, numerous questions would show a disrespect for the teacher, and would also reflect that the student has not studied hard enough. Case 3 The conflict here is a difference in cultural values and beliefs. In the beginning, Mary didn?t

CASE STUDY

CASE STUDY&PRESTNTATION 1CASE STUDY&PRESTNTATION了，我们这组的案例是说一家NORTHN BANK他们的核心业务是住房贷款和抵押贷款，现在进一步发展，RED组是通过收购来实现，而我们这组是通过ORGANIC的战略来实现，然后让我们进行讨论如何完成。 讨论开始后，我们先确定了2个TIME KEEPER，然后基本就是按照面经上的时间分割7分钟读题，18分钟讨论，5分钟自己准备。可能这个案例涉及的银行业务比较多，特别对于我们这组是要通过内部业务发展的战略去做分析，还是需要对银行业有点最基础的认识的。我们小组从扩大利润，降低成本和提高客户满意度来分析。在扩大利润的部分，个金方面就是个人信用卡，公金方面就是拉公司贷款外加降低利率来吸引更多的顾客以及开设更多的BRANCH。降低成本就是对员工的TRAINING，无纸化办公和上马ERP系统（虽然我觉得ERP对银行其实不是很有用=.=但还是借着专业把这个东西说了出来，囧）、最后的提高客户满意度由于时间匆忙就有PRE的那个同学自己准备了，我也忘了她说的是什么T.T （FORGIVE ME~~偶不似存心忘滴，是老年痴呆鸟~）最后的PRE我个人觉得我们那组的复旦的一个女生表现的还蛮好的，思路比较清楚，口语也很不错，赞一个 2 然后是ac，有关于福特的，具体就不说了，M面的时候就说主要是看你们的团队协作能力，结果不是那么重要。这里要感谢复旦美眉，她承担了缺席者的阅读任务，这可能影响到她后面对于材料的整理。祝你好运！上外和外贸的美眉很有想法，也是她们先提出让复旦美眉在提问环节先回答多发挥。整个讨论过程其实说不上特别成功，但是很贴近时代主题——和谐！ 五楼ac面完我们小组被senior主持人领上六楼，senior很nice，告诉我们m面都是中文，说ac已经很紧张了，然后就是陪我们聊天。六楼的view真棒！提供了我不爱吃的饼干，很爱喝的可乐，有点苦的橙汁（个人感受，貌似橙汁还是最受欢迎的） 3． 福特在印度发展的case，要求提出三个action，并说服董事会，再提出其中可能的风险和解决办法。 我们先花5分钟各自看案例，然后请英语MM把大家都有的那部分background再介绍一下，以免大家的理解有歧义，然后花了5分钟依次share信息。 之后就是brain storm，发现刚才准备的swot、4c、4p都用不上，大家想到什么就说什么了。我们blabla提满了三个action，然后开始讲这个action的好处（以此说服董事会），然后讨论风险和解决办法。 剩最后7、8分钟的时候，进行了presen的allocation：英语专业MM负责开头introduction 和最后总结，并把框架列在borad上，三个人各自负责一个action及其说服理由，还有一个人负责风险和解决办法。 本来设想每个人准备3个左右key words可以进行板书的，最后大家要么紧张没写，要么就是写了但字巨丑。但是还是可以尝试一下的，因为用板书把框架和关键点体现出来还是能让人一目了然的。 还剩最后5分钟的时候，大家就不讨论了，各自准备。 后来就presentation了，其实大家英语水平都差不多……我自己磕磕巴巴语无伦次，紧张要死。 后来是提问环节，没啥好说的……随便问问and 随便答答…… 然后是对面组presen，问答，等等。

Case 1 (Page 23) This case took place in 3 cultures. There seemed to be problems in communicating with people of different cultures in spite of the efforts to achieve understnading. 1) In Egypt as in many cultures, the human relationship is valued so highly that it is not expressed in an objective and impersonal way. While Americans certainly value human relationships, they are more likely to speak of them in less personal, more objective terms. In this case, Richard’s mistake might be that he choseto praise the food itself rather than the total evening, for which the food was simply the setting or excuse. For his host or hostess it was as if he had attended an art exhibit and complimented the artist by saying, “What beautiful frames your pictures are in!” 2) In Japan the situation may be more complicated. Japanese people value order and harmony among a group, and that the group is valued more than any particular member. In contrast, Americans stress individuality and are apt to assert individual differences when they seem justifiably to be in conflict with the goals or values of the group. In this case, Richard’s mistake was making great efforts to defend himself even if the error is notintentiona. A simple apology and acceptance of the blame would have been appropriate 3)When it comes to England, w expect fewer problems between Americans and Englishmen than between Americans and almost any other group. In this case we might look beyond the gesture of taking sugar or cream to the valuess expressed in thi s gesture: for Americans, “Help yourself”; for the English counterpart, “Be my guest.”American and English people equally enjoy entertaining and being entertained, but they differ in the value of the distinction. Typically, the ideal guest at an American party is obe who “makeshimself at home”. For the English host, such guest behavior is presumptuous or rude. Case4 (Page 25) It might be simply a question of different rhythms. Americans have one rhythm in their personal and family relations, in their friendliness and their charities. People from other cultures have different rhythms. The American rhythm is fast. It is characterized by a rapid acceptance of others. However, it is seldom that Americans engage themselves entirely in a friendship. Their friendship are warm, but casual and specialized. For example, you have a neighbor who drops by in the morning for coffee. Y ou see her frequently, but you never invite her for dinner------not because you don’t think she could handle a fork and a knife, but becau se you have seen her that morning. Therefore, you reserve your more formal invitation to dinner for someone who lives in a more distant part of the city and whom you would not see unless you extended an invitation for a special occasion. Now, if the first friend moves away and the second one moves nearby, you are likely to reserve this------see the second friend in the mornings for informal coffee meetings, and invite the first one more formally to dinner. Americans are, in other words, guided very often by their own convenience. They tend to make friends rapidly, and they don’t feel like it necessary to go to a great amount of trouble to see friends often when it becomes inconvenient to do so, and usually no one is hurt. But in similar circumstances, people from many other cultures would be hurt very deeply. Unit 2 Case 5 (Page 60) Analysis: The Chinese guide should refuse the first offer because he is obeying the Chinese rules for communication. We Chinese are modest, polite and well-behaved. Maybe the guide is waiting for a second or third offer of beer, but he doesn’t know the reasons behind the rule in American culture that you do not push alcoholic beverages on anyone. A person may not drink for religious reasons, he may be a reformed alcoholic, or he may be allergic. Whatever the reason, you do not insist on offering alcohol. So they politely never made a second offer of beer to the guide. Case 8 (Page 62) When the Chinese girl Amy fell in love with an American boy at that time, it seems that she preferred to celebrate Chritmas in the American way, for she wanted very much to appear the same as other American girls. She did not like to see her boyfriend disappointed at the “shabby”Chinese Christmas. That’s why she cried when she found out her pare nts had invited the minister’s family over for the Christmas Eve dinner.

BainCaseStudy贝恩案例分析

Office Vending Services Inc. Situation Office Vending Services Inc. is a global leader in vending machines services for small and large businesses. They provide a full service to their clients. This includes installing machines at client site, refills and repair. They collect revenues only from snack sales and choose the variety of products they sell in their vending machines themselves. Complication Over the past few years, their profits have dropped significantly and the CEO is unable to figure out why. The CEO asks Bain to identify the root causes of the problem and propose actionable solutions. Question 1 of 11 You would start to tackle this problem by looking at which factors: Industry trends 5-year market value evolution Fixed and variable costs Revenues and costs Competitors' actions 4. Revenue and costs: Not a bad place to start. A basic revenue and costs framework enables you to cover all factors impacting profitability and quickly identify the drivers that matter but it is helpful to first to understand the industry trends to determine if the problem is a broader market issue Bain's answer Using an External/Internal framework will help us determine whether our client's profitability problem is industry-wide or unique to them. If it is internal, we will look at our client's revenues and costs to isolate the problem. If it is external, we will need to investigate the cause of the industry decline (consumer trends, substitutes, etc.). It is more straight-forward to look into external factors first (Is the market and overall profit pool growing? Have there been new recent entrants to the market?). Therefore, looking at industry trends would be our likely first step.
