Business case write-up
This write-up requires single-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman, and one inch margins. I'll upload the case reading material and the slides below.
You need to write this essay basis on the slides I uploaded and the following 4 questions.
1. Consider Dunlap's statement on page 4 of the case: "Stakeholders! Every time....is the stakeholder". Do you agree or disagree with Dunlap's view of shareholder primacy? Explain.
2. Evaluate Dunlap's compensation packages (at the start and at the end of the second year). What types of behavior did the packages motivate?
3. What controversies did Al Dunlap create at Scott Paper? What controversies did he create at Sunbeam? Did the board of Sunbeam make the right decision in hiring him?
4. How likely do you think Al Dunlap will turn around Sunbeam if the board gave him more support and time? Did the board make the right decision in firing Dunlap?
All you need to do is answer those quesions.
