Case Western Reserve University Project Portfolio Management Discussion

Description

Deliverable:

Write a 8-page summary of the Moustafaev case study. Eight pages include diagrams and tables. Structure of the paper is as follows:

  • Case Study Report Title with name of student/s
  • Introduction (you are advised to subsitute or add an Executive Summary). No Abstract is needed.
  • Summary of Industry
  • Summary of Company being researched (can be one or more)
  • Portfolio Composition of the Company being researched
    • Provide critical comments if the portfolio looks good.
    • Optimization or re-balancing a portfolio given economic changes in the environment.
  • Conclusion
  • References

Notes:

1) Summarize content from the case study as presented by the author freely. Even if no APA citation is provided for the case study content you can still earn full points for that aspect. However, please indicate clearly in the bibliography the sections (Example, “Content from the section “Summary of Company being Researched and Company A” was reproduced from the required case study book as is”.)

For the last two sections of the paper you will be providing original insight and citing other sources — you must provide APA citation.)

You have an opportunity to address the following:

  • Given the current economic shock to the global economy (use the COVID-19 Pandemic as a very real example, if you like) assume that the company in your selected case study requires a project portfolio modification.
  • Explain what specifically needs to change with the portfolio selection process for the selected firm and why? This could include the following:
  • o Corporate strategy

    o Strategic alignment of portfolio

    o Scoring model

    o Portfolio project balancing

    o Provide an updated bubble quadrant chart to depict the new optimal portfolio based on the research assumptions.

    o Make assumptions of the case study freely (but state them explicitly in your paper)

    See if you can tie in textbook knowledge about Portfolio Management – Example, the Portfolio Life Cycle, or how organizations approve more initiatives than they can deliver, creating dissatisfaction when those projects fail to achieve expected results. Question why is there a reluctance to reduce the number of projects in progress or change the course?

    Note: you can submit a draft slide set and outline early for consultation with the instructor (by the early part of the week with Lecture 12) if you wish.

    Georgia Institute of Technology Benetton Annual Report Questions

    Description

    The questions in this project are based on the Benetton Group, a company headquartered in Italy and known in the United States primarily for one of its brands of fashion apparel—United Colors of Benetton. To answer the questions, you will need the Benetton Group’s 2004 Annual Report 

    How do the formats of the income statements shown on pages 33 and 50 of Benetton’s annual report differ from one another (disregard everything beneath the line titled “income from opera­tions”)? Which expenses shown on page 50 appear to have been reclassified as variable selling costs on page 33?

    Perform two separate computations of Benetton’s break-even point in euros. For the first com­putation, use data from 2003. For the second computation, use data from 2004.

    What sales would have been necessary in 2004 for Benetton to attain a target income from operations of €300 million?

    1. Compute Benetton’s margin of safety using data from 2003 and 2004.

    What is Benetton’s degree of operating leverage in 2004? If Benetton’s sales in 2004 had been 6% higher than what is shown in the annual report, what income from operations would the company have earned? What percentage increase in income from operations does this represent?

    1. What income from operations would Benetton have earned in 2004 if it had invested an addi­tional €10 million in advertising and promotions and realized a 3% increase in sales? As an al­ternative, what income from operations would Benetton have earned if it not only invested an additional €10 million in advertising and promotions but also raised its sales commission rate to 6% of sales, thereby generating a 5% increase in sales? Which of these two scenarios would have been preferable for Benetton?

    Assume that total sales in 2004 remained unchanged at €1,686 million (as shown on pages 33 and 50); however, the Casual sector sales were €1,554 million, the Sportswear and Equipment sector sales were €45million, and the Manufacturing and Other sector sales were €87 million. What income from operations would Benetton have earned with this sales mix? (Hint: look at pages 36 and 37 of the annual report.) Why is the income from operations under this scenario different from what is shown in the annual report?

    Analyze how  this use of data is impacting marketing and strategic planning for  health care providers and organizations. Examine the benefits of this  trend for consumers and/or the organization, especially in the areas of  communication and decision-making. Support your statements with evidence  from your sources.
