Our session yesterday, November 4, 2013 - Congrats again to Group 4

AGSB, H de la Costa Campus  |  November 4, 2013

           Isnt it boring that Group 4 always wins?  This time for MC2 case analysis. Congratulations

We had our 4th to the last session yesterday.  We had two main activities:  IV and SR presentations and two case analysis

Albert Abenidos presentation was both inspiring and humorous.  He presented himself as a lady (and he was gorgeous) and as a macho/alpha man in a TV show.  I think he must upload that presentation.  Then he made an SR on social entrepreneurship.  Martin made an SR on CSV.    Gio had an IV presentation.

Then we had two case analyses:   MC2 and Jose Lontoc.

For MC2,  Group 4 again came out the winner.  It looks so boring that they always win.  So no more contest.  While I kept on saying that opportunities should be money/wealth making opportunities, other groups still were vague on what the opportunities where or came out with business that were not related relevant to the expertise of MC2.  I kept repeating the SMART thing.

For Jose Lontoc, there were various points of view:   it was a finance case -  it is question of whether Lontoc can get the loan or not.  Some says he cant get the loan because (he had  bad record -  his other loan was foreclosed?) and that the externals were not clear (the case says that there were limited number of abbatoirs and the daily demand is about 7000 heads of livestock a day).  And that the business was failing? Others remarked that it was about innovation of Lontoc;  other students say it is about the various porftfolio of business

Then we went into risk, value creation/chain of the business and that Lontoc wanted to control the value chain.  The other aspect of value chain would not be making money or failing but as whole the most profitable, the highest value creator prospers.   Then we asked who is the man who sees the whole picture the whole value chain - and it took some coaching/coaxing to say that it is a strategist/visionary who does this.

It is sad to note that there were students:  who did not read the case or did not read well or were guessing. Those who were not here get a failing grade for the cases discussed. And so with those who did not prepare.  It is a 10 point game!
