Send using this document title: BD 4200 example Ginsberg L BD 4200. Do NOT submit a document named ‘First assignment’ or Bain. ASSIGNMENT: Assume that you are the Investment Committee of Bain. What is your strategic recommendation? Why do you want to make this investment? Why do you not want to make this investment? Individual assignments – each student will submit no more than: a. Two (2) single - spaced (no less than 12 pitch) pages outlining your analysis of this case + b. One (1) cover page with your name, student number and Schulich E-mail address to which the assignment is to be returned. The cover page MUST also contain the following: “I [ Insert your name as registered at Schulich] hereby certify that the attached assignment and all materials therein have been created by me unless otherwise footnoted and that all the material contained herein including charts, graphs and other materials have been created by me.”This certification must be signed and dated by you and attached to your assignment. PLUS c. Attach an appendix that aids you in supporting the arguments you make in your submission. Please note the questions in the course outline are to assist students in thinking through the case – they DO NOT represent an analysis of this case. How you analyze the case is up to you – however it might be useful to initially outline the case, articulate the critical issues as you see them in the case and what you would do about them? Please note that the expectation is that you will connect the critical issues that you have defined to your recommendations. HELPFUL HINT(S): 1. The key to reducing complexities of the case to a few well-chosen words is to determine what is important (e.g. a critical issue) and what is not important. Many students find that by drawing out the issues and how they interconnect is often helpful in getting to what is important and relevant. 2. Using an appropriate tool should help you in presenting a concise well thought out integrated response (Your readings provide some tools to consider in addition to others you may choose to use). 3. I would suggest that you refer to the case or readings by page (or appendix) in end-notes rather than repeating case and reading information. 4. Focus on the strategy at the time of the case. 5. Please review the academic dishonesty policy of Schulich before submitting the assignment to ensure your signed and dated certification adheres to the policy. GRADING CHECKLIST The checklist below serves as a guide to what should appear in a well thought out, well-supported argument. Please note that following directions and submitting a professional document are part of good business practice. The category excellent is seldom applied unless the entire assignment is clearly superior. The alpha grade is a ‘holistic’ mark. This means that the critical element is your ability to put together a well thought out and factually supported argument leading to your conclusion. It is possible to have a number of excellent and good boxes checked and receive a grade of 'C'. It is also possible to have a number of needs improvement and not attempted boxes checked and receive a grade of 'A'. Criteria Excellent Good Needs Improvement Not Attempted Assignment submitted as instructed. Appropriate appendix attached. Short outline of case included. Key Resources & Capabilities Identified Critical Issues Identified & Discussed Elements of strategy (current) identified Recommendations follow clearly from analysis Appropriate tool(s) are used in analysis (may be placed in appendix). Readings/cases discussed in class/lecture notes used to support argument throughout Where data is presented in case some financial analysis is supplied to add support to argument presented Spelling, grammar, source noting, appendix labeling achieves professional standard Comment:Grade: Page 1 of 3 Page 1 of 2 SGMT 4200 – Fall 2018 – Prof Larry Ginsberg Grading: Assignment will be graded Alpha CASE: Bain Capital and Dollarama ( Case in Week 4) D UE DATE : 11: 29AM – Tuesday October 2, 2018 ( NOTE: Assignments are to be sent by E - mail date stamped no later than 11:29AM Tuesday October 2 , 2018 to Maria Radford at [email protected] - Assignments will be graded on line and returned to you electronica lly – please note that late assignments will be graded at the sole discretion of the professor with a minimum of 50% grade decrease.
