Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to look into how effective new learning methods are in today’s workforce. The traditional learning styles are no longer optimal; it is important that companies look ahead and adapt to new training styles.

Design/methodology/approach

The team at Braidio has over 20 years of technical, operations and start-up experience in the internet, wireless and security industries. Over the years they have noticed these shifts in learning technology as it moves from more traditional methods to a more social experience.

Findings

To effectively train existing and new employees, companies must adapt to the technological and generational changes that are impacting the modern workforce. Mobile and social learning are becoming more prominent as these types of media are more easily digested by the growing millennial population.

Originality/value

Braidio is the first company to adapt to this new model of learning and has been able to provide a unique solution that can be built directly into a company's workflow. The modern workforce will continue to evolve, and the companies that are ahead of the curve will end up benefiting the most in the long run.

Abstract

Only recently have the applications of expert systems in finance received tremendous attention from not only the practitioners but the academicians as well. Widespread applications of this technology in diverse financial problems include credit management loan evaluation portfolio analysis capital budgeting cash flow analysis, and so forth. Another problem area that can benefit from this technology is the lease versus purchase decision, the joint process of corporate capital budgeting decision and financing decision. Because of the complex nature in the evaluation of the lease versus purchase decision, expert systems are thus appropriate for this type of application.

Study level/applicability

Case overview

C.P. Manuel Pérez-Sánchez, after reading an article about how famous businessmen in the USA are dedicating their fortunes to charity, begins to wonder about his own business' lack of charitable involvement. He wonders whether his own business, Biznet Norteamérica, located in Querétaro, México, is profitable enough to begin to give back something to the community. What he learns about corporate charity in México leaves him more confused than anything. He is left with the difficult decision of trying to determine whether, how much, and to whom should he donate some of his business' profits.

Expected learning outcomes

Ultimately, the case has a threefold goal. First, to raise awareness about the issue of corporate charity (as opposed to personal charity). Second, to fill a void in the literature of business ethics in México, especially regarding the question of corporate charity. And third, to allow future Mexican business leaders the opportunity to begin to discuss what and how they should think about the issue of corporate charity, particularly its ethical component. The case is real and reflects the actual struggle of a Querétaro business person with no ethics background to come to some tentative conclusions regarding this new (for him) issue. The case could appeal to many of the students because they, like the protagonist, would one day be a part of a moderately successful Mexican enterprise. This case could allow them be able to “put themselves in the shoes” of the decision-maker as a rehearsal for their own future decisions about business charity.

Abstract

Learning outcomes

The learning objectives include understanding the unique environment and challenges that business leaders face when developing new businesses in emerging markets, evaluating the firm’s internal and external environments, analyzing sales data and distribution channels and formulating new strategies.

Case overview/synopsis

Dos Hemisferios Winery, founded in 1999 as a hobby, grew into a family business. The Ecuadorian winery expanded production after winning an international award for its Paradoja blend in 2009. With a $10m investment in a new plant in 2017, the winery capacity increased to 500,000 bottles. President Robert Wright recognized the need to increase sales, aiming to sell at least 425,000 bottles annually at an average price of $8 per bottle to break even and become profitable in 2024. To tap into Ecuador’s top market in Quito, representing 46% of sales, Dos Hemisferios aimed to boost monthly revenues to $50,000 by addressing challenges such as low awareness and consumer reluctance. Initiatives under consideration included partnerships and events, winery tours, enhanced social media, new products and improved sales channel distribution.

Complexity academic level

The Dos Hemisferios case is appropriate for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students in global business and strategy courses. The learning objectives for the case study include: understanding the unique environment and challenges business leaders face when developing new businesses in emerging markets; evaluating the firm’s internal and external environments to determine its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats; analyzing sales data and distribution channels for the business; and providing students with the opportunity to formulate strategies to gain more share of the Ecuadorian wine market.
