Jules Kroll is planning to enter into the ratings industry. To determine whether it is a good idea and a good time for him to enter into the new business, we project the 5-year NPV for KBRA and apply SWOT analysis to KBRA.

Thus we suggest it add a credit rating division into the company to make attempts to it but not start up a
However we feel that this strategy also has several weaknesses. Compared to the first option presented by the VP of Advertising, we would still need to advertise that our product is coming down in price.

In the past, the booming economy had allowed for year to year increase in their sales because people had larger discretionary incomes. But due to the recession, smaller independent retailers had to markdown their items in order to stay in business because designer outlet stores are getting more traffic; so will Harry Rosen follow in suit?

Ethney faces a difficult dilemma in her position at the oil company. Male dominated fields often turn into boys’ clubs that are often unaccepting of female entrants. To answer the question, how would I act in Ethney’s situation, I would seek to learn.

Many people naturally enjoy teaching others, or at least feeling like they know more than others. By asking them to teach me, they would feel that they had been respected for their experience and knowledge and they would then also feel that they had a stock in my success within the company.
