“Module 3 SLP
Case: Inputs Diagnosis SLP: Time Warp 2
In Module 3 you will continue with the scenario and simulation you worked on in the Module 1 and Module 2 SLPs.
SCENARIO CONTINUATION:
Its New Years Day 2016. You just had a great New Years Eve celebration having finished analyzing the performance of Clipboard Tablet Company and are ready to charge ahead into the future. You turn on the TV and notice something strange (again). The TV commentator is saying something about New Years Day 2012 and you realize that you are in Time Warp 2.
Your decision-making process will be different this time as you will be using CVP analysis a technique with which you recently became familiar.
You analyze the results of the first set of decisions you made in Time Warp 1 from 2012 to 2015. You use CVP analysis to help determine a new strategy employing the CVP Calculator.
You analyze the results using CVP and develop your complete four-year strategy making notes about your analysis and your reasoning process just in case you have to do this again.
You finish the report that shows your strategy for the next four years during Time Warp 2.
Do not run the simulation yet; just turn in the report.
Session Long Project
Write a 4- to 6-page paper not including cover and reference page in which after again reviewing and analyzing the results that you got in SLP2 (Time Warp 1 decisions) you develop a revised strategy and make a case for this new strategy using analysis and relevant theories.
KEYS TO THE ASSIGNMENT
The key aspects of this assignment that should be covered and taken into account in preparing your paper include:
The revised strategy consists of the Prices R&D Allocation % and any product discontinuations for the X5 X6 and X7 tablets for each of the four years: 2012 2013 2014 and 2015.
You must present a rational justification for this strategy. In other words you must make a case for your proposed strategy using financial analysis and relevant theories.
Use the CVP Calculator and review the PowerPoint that explains CVP and provides some examples.
You need to crunch some numbers (CVP Analysis) to help you determine your prices and R&D allocations.
Make sure your proposed changes in strategy are firmly based in this analysis of financial and market data and sound business principles.
Present your analysis professionally making strategic use of tables charts and graphs.
Time Line Summary:
SLP1
2015: Hired on December 15.
Turned in first report to Sally a few days early on December 30.
Celebrated on December 31.
SLP2
Time Warp 1 begins: January 1 2016 warps into January 1 2012.
You realize you have to make decisions for 2012 2015 which you do.
December 31 2015 You have gone through all four years and you write your report to summarize how you did. You are hoping that you will wake up tomorrow and it will be 2016.
SLP3
Time Warp 2 begins: January 1 2016 warps into January 1 2012. (Again)
Now it is January 1 2012: You decide to use CVP analysis and develop a four-year plan for your strategy. You analyze the results of your first decisions in Time Warp 1 and make notes. You use the CVP Calculator to help develop a strategy and make more notes explaining your logic and analysis.
