1.Think of a design change that you have witnessed or researched. Evaluate the pace and timing, scope and sequencing, communication, and feedback and learning in the initiative. What would you change about the transition?

2. Choose one of the quadrants of the Competing Values Framework and describe an organization that you think matches the characteristics of that quadrant. Now choose any other quadrant. What do you think would be the challenges in transitioning an organization to that quadrant? What kinds of organization design changes would support that transition? What design changes would be resisted by members

Assume Nike is exposed to a currency portfolio weighted 50 percent in Canadian dollars and 50 percent in Mexican pesos. Nike estimates the standard deviation of quarterly percentage changes to be 4 percent for the Canadian dollar and 6 percent for the Mexican peso. Also assume that Nike estimates a correlation coefficient of 0.2 between these two currencies.
a) Calculate the portfolio’s standard deviation.
b) Assuming i) normal distribution of the quarterly percentage changes of each currency (and so the same of the portfolio as well), and ii) an expected percentage change of -1 percent for the currency portfolio, calculate the maximum one-quarter loss of the currency portfolio based on a 95 percent confidence level.

Table 3 provides the most recent financial values for Firm Z. The CFO wants to implement strategic and operational changes that will lower the firm’s DSO to 40 days, DIH to 35 days, and increase DPO to 50 days. Assuming that these changes can be met without reducing revenues or CGS, calculate the resulting increase in operating cash flow due to reducing the CCC. Lastly, discuss any weaknesses in the model assumptions that might result in the projected increase in operating cash flow not materializing.

Accounts Receivable $51

Inventory $17

Accounts Payable $13

Revenues $150

CGS $122
