Risk Aversion; Strategy John Holt is the production supervisor for ITEXX, a manufacturer of plastic parts with customers in the automobile and consumer products industries. On aTuesday morning, one of ITEXX’s sales managers asks John to reschedule his manufacturingjobs for the rest of the week to accommodate a special order from a new customer. The catchis that getting the customer requires fast turnaround on the order and means not only delayingthe current production schedule, but also running the production equipment all three shifts forthe remainder of the week. This will make it impossible to complete the regularly scheduledmaintenance on the equipment that John has planned for midweek. The sales manager is keen ongetting the new customer, which could mean an important increase in overall sales and output atthe plant. However, John is worried not only about the delay of the current jobs, but the chancethat the delay in maintenance will cause one of the machines to fail, which would…

The proposed Ghana Airways Airline project is being procured through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP). In the PPP procurement process, two companies (the SPVs-special purpose vehicles), ‘A’ and ‘B’ with each having 0.5% chances of selection. The risks analysis document reveals that SPV ‘A’ has 0.4 risk of performance failure, whiles SPV ‘B’ has 0.3 risk of performance failure. Using Decision Tree Analysis, as a project manager, critically assess the options and advise on the best SPV to be chosen.

Keith is the group sales manager at the 400-room full-service Tripletree Hotel. Carla is the front office manager. Together with Leona, the GM, they make the revenue management decisions for their property. For the Saturday night that is just one week away, they have 180 unsold rooms remaining. Keith would like to accept an available group contract for the entire 180 rooms at a rate of $109 per room. “We’ll sell out,” he proclaims, “and have a great RevPAR.” Carla would like to reduce the room rates to $159.00 per night; which is a $20.00 reduction from the hotel’s normal rate of $179.00. “How many rooms do you forecast we can sell at that rate?” asks Leona. “I believe we can sell about 120 of them,” is Carla’s reply. “That means we’ll leave 60 empty rooms, and a lower RevPAR,” protests Keith. It costs $35.00 to prepare, sell, and clean (prepare for resale) a room at the Tripletree. After reviewing the data, you will be asked to perform some calculations and provide a critical…
