Rutgers is planning to expand its capacity in athletic centers. They purchased a pretty big piece of land, so space is not really an issue. The options that they have are four, in terms of facilities: basketball, tennis, football, and baseball. A basketball facility is expected to cost 10,000$ and should be used by around 75 people per day. A tennis facility is expected to cost 8,000$ and should be used by around 45 people per day. A football facility is expected to cost 13,000$ and should be used by around 110 people per day. Finally, a baseball facility is expected to cost 11,000$ and should be used by around 80 people per day. Although the planner (you) is free to choose as many facilities per type as he wants, there are some restrictions: football facilities should be no more than 5 and the available budget is 250,000$. The objective is to maximize the daily usage.

At the optimal solution, how many basketball facilities should be built?

None of the above

Walmart’s Global Strategy

Walmart’s international division has an important job. With 80% of the retail industry’s growth coming from outside of the United States, Walmart’s $137 billion in international sales in 2014—29% of sales overall—is a key driver of overall revenue growth. To drive this performance, David Cheesewright, CEO of Walmart’s international division, is focusing on current operations in growth markets and e-commerce. Shopping trends indicate that what customers buy is changing fast, and that they are quickly switching to online shopping platforms. After decades of work trying to develop a foundation in the Chinese market, Walmart is consolidating its portfolio of stores in that country, closing nonperforming retail stores and investing in successful ones. To enter the Chinese e-grocery market, Walmart holds a 51% stake in Yihaodian, which has posted triple-digit growth—twice the market rate. The company’s operations in Brazil and Mexico are experiencing slowing growth, in part a result of economic cycles and their brand’s life cycle, but they still offer the opportunity to develop strong, mature businesses. International expansion comes with country-specific challenges. After experiencing too many regulatory difficulties in India, Walmart canceled plans to open retail stores there. Instead, Walmart India is focusing on business-to-business sales.

Although Walmart has successfully dominated the U.S. market, it has found that expanding its reach across the globe does not always fit with its strengths. In addition, navigating the variety of economic and regulatory requirements across different countries adds significant complexity to the company’s operations. Finally, gaining access to and managing workforces with different values, cultures, and languages present tremendous challenges.

QUESTIONS

1. What criteria should a company use to determine which countries it should expand into?

2. How can a company assess how cultural and economic differences might impede its ability to succeed in different countries?

3. What things can companies do to manage a global workforce more effectively?

Forrester and Cohen is a small accounting​ firm, managed by Joseph Cohen since the retirement in December of his partner Brad Forrester. Cohen and his 4 CPAs together bill 800 hours per month. When Cohen or another accountant bills more than 160 hours per​ month, he or she gets an additional​ "overtime" pay of ​$61.00 for each of the extra​ hours: This is above and beyond the $5,100 salary each draws during the month.​ (Cohen draws the same base pay as his​ employees.) Cohen strongly discourages any CPA from working​ (billing) more than 230 hours in any given month. The demand for billable hours for the firm over the next 6 months is estimated​ below:

Month:                   Estimate of Billable Hours

Jan.                                         682

Feb.                                         539

Mar.                                        1133

Apr.                                         1331

May                                         726

June                                        638

Cohen has an agreement with​ Forrester, his former​ partner, to help out during the busy tax​ season, up to 230 hours in any given month if​ needed, for an hourly fee of $120. Cohen will not even consider laying off one of his colleagues in the case of a slow economy. He​ could, however, hire another CPA at the same​ salary, as business dictates.

a) Develop an aggregate plan for the​ 6-month period ​(enter your responses as whole​ numbers). Use regular​ time, then​ overtime, then​ Forrester, and then hire additional CPAs if needed.

​Note: For the CPA​ column, only include​ Cohen, his 4 CPAs, and any new CPAs he may hire in your total. Do NOT include Forrester.

b) Compute the cost of​ Cohen's plan of using overtime and Forrester.

Total cost= ?

Leo the founder and president of Leisure Suit Lounge Wear is unsure of how successfully break into the generation Z market and has asked for your help. Leo runs a lounge wear company with the following customer demographics.

He is concerned with aging nature of the customer base of his product and has noted that whilst generation Z (< 25 years old) is a small proportion of his customer base they have a large average spend per customer. He therefore believes that if Leisure Suit Lounge Wear can successfully advertise to younger customers, he could increase profitability and protect the company from a shrinking market share. However, he is unsure of how to advertise to generation Z. His niece has suggested partnering with TikTok influences whereas his sales manager has suggested either a traditional TV advertising campaign or a targeted campaign using internet advertising. In particular he would like to know if social media is a better prospect for advertising to generation Z than traditional advertising and if investing in partnering with influences is an effective method of increasing sales among a younger demographic.

He has asked for you help in applying evidence-based management to improving his sales in the targeted demographic.
