Suppose that you work for Camden Property Trust (Links to an external site.), a multi-family REIT in the southern US, and that your company wants to add another apartment building to its investment portfolio. After conducting a thorough market analysis, you have narrowed your search to three properties located in different areas in Houston, Texas. All of the properties have a similar number of units, and the units are also similar with regard to mix and sizes. The primary differences is the supply and demand in the different market areas, and the consideration of newer versus older properties
Option 1: The first property is currently built and operating in a middle income area that has a shortage of housing. At this time, the building has no vacancy, but there are some new apartments being built nearby that will soon be competing with this property. This is the oldest property, and will likely be impacted by the new construction in the area that may take away tenants.
Option 2: The second property is currently under construction, and is being sold because the developer has run out of money, and is unable to finish the project. However, it is likely that your firm could complete the building at a favorable per-unit cost. The market area is close to equilibrium, but with some excess supply, and the completion of this property would add even more. However, it would be a new building – something that is often attractive to potential tenants.
Option 3: The third property currently has a relatively high vacancy rate. However, the market area has become an increasingly desirable area to live and demand is expected to grow. There is also little threat of new competition here because there are no sites available to build additional apartment complexes. Given these vacancy considerations, which property would you choose? Are there other investment factors that may be impacted by these considerations?

Message Strategies: Responding to Rumors and Public Criticism
Spreading FUD—fear, uncertainty, and doubt—about other companies is one of the less-honorable ways of dealing with competition in the business world. For example, someone can start a “whisper campaign” in the marketplace, raising fears that a particular company is struggling financially. Customers who don’t want to risk future instability in their supply chains might then shift their purchasing away from the company, based on nothing more than the false rumor.
Your task: Find the website of any company that seems interesting. Imagine you are the CEO and the company is the subject of an online rumor about impending bankruptcy. Explore the website to get a basic feel for what the company does. Making up any information you need, write a post for the company’s blog, explaining that the bankruptcy rumors are false and that the company is on solid financial ground and plans to keep serving the industry for many years to come. PLEASE! Do not copy and paste the other answer to this question! It doesn't make much sense and isn't a great answer.
Thank you in advance!

1. Unit 9 dealt with Leadership and described many theories in that field. Reflect on your own experience and describe two leaders you encountered, one you admired and found easy to follow, and the other one who you found ineffective. Describe the behaviors of each that underlie your opinion of them. What lessons did you learn from them you could apply to your own managerial style?
2. Unit 4 looked at decision making, and discussed the situational aspect. Please describe two situations; the first, a situation where you believe a very directive style would be appropriate and the second, one where you think a very collaborative style would better serve the situation. In both instances, describe the situation and your reasoning.
3. In Unit 14, we looked at small business. Would you prefer managing in a huge enterprise or a small one? What factors entered into your decision?
4. Review 8.1 in Unit 8. Do you think the “$2,000.00 to quit” offer is a sound business practice? Why or why not?
5. By this point, you hopefully have a fairly full understanding of what a manager does. If you were offered a managerial position (or if you currently hold one), what aspect of being a manager is a natural fit with your skills and personality? Conversely, which aspect do you feel would require more conscious effort on your part? Management is definitely NOT for everyone… do you think it is a career path you would enjoy?

CONTINUOUS CASE
CHAPTER FOUR
How does culture affect companies? When German automakers began their expansion into the
U.S. market, cup holders were not a feature of their products. In contrast, because many
Americans spent significant time in their cars, ate in their cars, and so on, advertisements for
American cars often boasted of the number of cup holders that were part of their design. The
German companies had to shift their thinking from strictly performance-based cars, to ones that
better fit the needs of Americans. Today, many automakers have shifted their focus to the
emerging markets, and how they can best serve the customers in those markets.
How could different cultural dimensions be reflected in the design of automobiles?
