Every week, one group will post correct answers to the case questions on the blog. Here are the instructions to that group:

1. Please post your answers as a comment to the post which contains the case questions.

2. The answer should be posted after we discuss the case in class (preferably before the end of the day).

3. Please make sure that you post correct answers based on the inclass discussion. Points will be deducted if you post incorrect answers to the case questions on the blog.

4. Feel free to discuss any answer with me if you are not sure of the correct answer to any question.

Here are some instructions for the group making case presentations:

1. Submit a printout of your presentation slides at the beginning of the class.
2. Briefly (3-5 slides) discuss the company and the main points of this case.
3. Present a slide or two on how the company is doing now (through some research on Google) – what their latest profit is or how they seem to be doing overall. If you can include some latest news about their supply chain, that’ll be great.
4. Prepare a diagram of the complete supply chain (as given in the case). On the diagram, highlight the insourced and outsourced components.
5. Prepare 1-2 slides on each of the case questions from the blog.

Points will also be awarded for presentation style. Here are some tips that you may want to note:
1. Remember that the slides are not the presentation. Avoid reading verbatim from the slides.
2. Make sufficient eye contact with the class. It is not a good idea to read prepared notes directly.
3. Make the slides sufficiently interesting. For example, you can include pictures or videos related to the company.
4. Formal attire is not required for this presentation.

All members of a team receive the same points for the case submissions / presentations. If you feel that one or more members are not doing their fair share, please submit the following form to me by email. Each student is expected to complete and submit this form to the instructor atleast once during the semester.
