Description
Summary:The OMEGA Geophysical Corporation (OMEGA) case was originally designed as a commercial lending case. It contains sufficiently complex decisions and concepts to challenge advanced graduate students but is flexible enough not to overwhelm junior and senior level undergraduate students if the faculty member directs the focus to the less complicated issues. Due to the nature of the material included, it can also be used in Human Resources Management courses as well as in Ethics courses at similar levels with the same limitations. The gist of this case is centered around a loan request from OMEGA Geophysical Corporation (OMEGA) to Third National Bank of San Luis Obispo. Company representatives gave the funding needed to reorganize and relocate various company operations as a purpose for the loan request. In addition to the standard issues involved in commercial lending, there are production, marketing, human resources, and ethics issues that can be considered for focal points of study.
