ESSAY QUESTIONS:

• 1)The tuitions and fees for any given institution of higher education are theoretically the same for all attending students. Colleges and universities, however, routinely charge different tuitions and fees to different students. These differences show themselves in various ways. In-state, and out of state status, differences in financial position of students’ families, merit based awards, sports’ scholarships and similar devices are among the methods that effectively change the price of same education to be different for different students. Explain what is this practice called and what are some of the motifs behind this behavior by colleges and universities.
• 2)Few years ago, the European Commission accused three major European breweries, Heineken, Grolsch, and Bavaria, of “carving up the market,” and “price fixing” and imposed a fine of 274 Euros on them. Explain what kind of market structure give rise to this type of behavior and if they were successful in carrying out their plan, what would have happened in the European beer market.
• 3)For years, you were the owner/operator of a small gift shop in a remote rural area with no competition nearby. As such you were making above average profits every year. Consequently, new competitors were attracted to your market and eventually you found yourself surrounded by many competitors. Compare the original situation with the new one. State what are the differences between the two situations.

As the project manager for Advancement Corporation, you act as the CEO’s deputy. As such, you are granted the authority to develop and promote the vision or direction of the project: you must provide a solution to this personnel crisis. More specifically, this means that it is considered common knowledge throughout the organization that you, as the project manager, have the ability to identify, plan, be the catalyst to execute a plan, and provide closure for the plan to address the “raid” of your corporation’s key personnel by a predatory executive search firm.

To identify, plan, and execute this project, you must first develop a means for communicating with existing department heads in the research and development and sales departments. The goals of these two departments must not only be met, they must be reconciled. The director of research and development contends that developing the pharmaceuticals is the critical role of Advancement Corporation. As such, she believes the new recruiters should have expertise in recruiting and selecting scientists. In contrast, the executive director of the sales department believes that the actual selling of the prescription drugs in doctors’ offices and hospitals is the key to the company’s success.

As the project manager, you must do the following:

• Develop a list of 10 questions that will be asked of the executive director of research and development and the executive director of sales in a joint interview.
• Provide the CEO with your strategy for dealing with this conflict between the two executive directors. In doing so, you are to address the following:
• Which communication techniques will you rely on to resolve potential disputes between these two directors?
• How will you plan this critical meeting between yourself and the department heads? What will be the agenda for the meeting? Provide an outline.
• In executing and providing closure for the joint, voluntary, and crucially important participation of these two executive directors, which specific goals will you attempt to gain joint agreement upon?
• How will you measure whether and/or the degree to which these goals have been reached?
