Description
Summary:The case contains sufficiently complex decisions and concepts to challenge advanced graduate students, but is flexible enough to not overwhelm junior and senior level undergraduate students if the faculty member directs the focus to the less complicated issues. 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. Cases based upon the material included can also be developed for use in Human Resources Management, Operations Management, Marketing, and Business Ethics courses at similar levels with the same limitations. There is flexibility built into the materials and the teaching notes to allow the faculty member to adapt the case to meet instructional needs either the undergraduate or graduate level and to focus on the specific discipline of the course in which the students are enrolled. The case is designed to be taught in two to three class hours and is expected to require six to eight hours of outside preparation by students. The faculty member can choose to include all or part of the material provided. The case provides ample opportunity for faculty modification to meet individual styles and needs in commercial lending as well as the different disciplines mentioned above. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
