You have recently been promoted to General Manager at Creekview Lodge, a 50 room hotel in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. You started working at the lodge in high school in the restaurant and after college, returned to Creekview as one of the assistant managers before being promoted to hotel manager. Recently, a 200-room hotel opened not far from Creekview Lodge, and although Creekview still maintains near 100% capacity there has been quite a bit of turnover. More than ten employees left to work for the larger hotel which boasted higher pay and better health insurance.

You were informed this morning by the front desk team that the latest customer survey results show a drop in the satisfaction rating for guest room cleanliness. The current report indicates that 73% of guests responded “completely satisfied”, 12% responded “satisfied”, 10% responded “neither satisfied nor unsatisfied”, and 5% responded “unsatisfied.” The housekeeping staff lost four employees to the new hotel, so although disappointed, you aren’t surprised by this news. Still, you could not remember a time that the hotel had received such a low satisfaction rating.

As manager of Creekview Lodge, what is your next step in addressing the problem?

A)Take immediate action and require that all rooms be inspected by the hotel manager (you) or an assistant manager before being made available to customers

D)Review the standards of performance and compare to current performance

Goal: Your task is to prepare a business case for a new information system as described below.

A company that handles deliveries for other companies and individuals (you can use Yurtici or Aras Kargo as examples) considers to implement a new system for managing their trucks. Currently, the drivers get a fixed order of destinations, deliver the packages and get a signature on a paper slip. They hand in the slips in the evening to their manager. The manager checks against the orders, and approves that deliveries have been made. With the new system, the drivers have a hand-held device connected to traffic information, and an information system that changes the route dynamically to avoid traffic jams. Also the customers sign with a pen on the hand-held device, if a signature has been done, the delivery is marked as completed automatically.

You should try to identify all possible factors both for benefits and costs. In the business case, describe all of them, and try to quantify them, detailing how this quantification could have happened (actual numbers can be guessed at or made up, like for example hardware costs). Based on this quantification, aggregate the results for costs and benefits over an adequate time interval and give an overall assessment and recommendation. You can also include intangible benefits and strategic considerations in your final recommendation.
