FINC13-307 Lecture 4: Barings Collapse A_case questions (Motivation)
Document Summary
The purpose of a case analysis assignment is to provide you with an opportunity to apply concepts from class to real-world situations. Your case analysis should incorporate theories or concepts from class or other readings: identify the problems that the focal company / person in the case face. A problem exists when the actual situation and the desired situation differ. It represents the difference between what you want in a situation and what you are actually achieving or experiencing. For example, a manager wants to have motivated subordinates, but finds that his/her employees are often absent, come late or leave early. This manager has a problem with the motivation of the employees. Typically, the focal company / person can face multiple problems in the case, and your task is to consider all potential problems and decide which ones are most important. Be sure to substantiate or thoroughly explain your conclusions: analyze the underlying causes of the problem.
