Joe’s Java Case Preparation Questions For each of these questions, provide answers and case evidence or theory to support them. 1. Are there any relevant course models/concepts/theories that apply to analyze/explain the problem and/or develop a solution? 2. Look at Exhibit 1 of the case and identify three interesting insights about Joe's that are relevant to the problem or the solution. 3. What is the immediate issue of the case? 4. What is the underlying issue? Use an issue tree to decompose the problem. LAB #1 5. What are the alternatives given in the case? Are there any other alternatives you can think of? 6. What are the outcomes/objectives Joe is trying to achieve with his decision, i.e, any good solution will satisfy the following objectives: (Hint: consider case facts and course concepts) 7. What assumptions, if any, are you making? Analysis: List the items you came up with in answer (6) across the top of the chart, and the alternatives you listed in answers (4) and (5) in the first column. Briefly note how each alternative compares to the rest on each decision criterion. Alternatives Decision Criteria 8. What solution do you recommend? What is the best, worst, and expected outcome of your recommendation? 9. What could go wrong that would make your solution difficult to implement or not satisfactory? What would you do in that situation? 10. What steps should Joe take immediately, in the short term, and in the longer term to implement your recommendation? 11. How will your recommendation affect Joe's financial performance? What items would you expect to change (and in what direction) as the result of implementing your solution? What other effects might your recommendation have on Joe's Java?
